Some fabric and paint is all you need to turn ugly furnishings and unfinished pieces into stylish beauties. Treat a ho-hum headboard with a dashing slipcover. Wrapping with foam and batting and slip it into a comfortable canvas cover gives it a plush new look. Putting a pretty ruffle made from inexpensive ticking stripe adds feminine flair.

Coordinating the bed ensemble with a matching striped luxury bed in a bag adds a breath of fresh air to a new bedroom with a mini make over. Add a couple of throw pillows and we have turned our bedroom into a stylish beauty.
