Yea or Nay: The Fiorenza Headboard

From a reader:

Dear BS:

A few days ago, I saw your post about making your own headboard. I'm not that crafty, but I'm thinking about getting this headboard from Target. I'd love it if you could ask everybody if they think it is cool or really bad. I'm conflicted!

Love,
G.

Well now! We are so pleased to be speaking with someone who is sharing our headboard obsession. Now, about this one in particular: We wish it were ... just ever so slightly different. With a border, maybe, or a slightly smaller print. That said, with simple (extreeeeeemely simple) bedding, we could be totally supportive. We just wouldn't want to see that print competing with much else. Especially if that's a brown and cream—and we think it is—we'd love to see it against a sky blue wall. We'd also want to be sure that the headboard fabric isn't scratchy. We hate it when we're trying to go to sleep and the headboard fabric is all weird and plastic-y.

Well, that sounded very princessy. Who else has an opinion on this headboard for G.?

I think it's nice, but, I'd be afraid I'd get bored of it in a year or two.

Also -- how do you clean upholstered headboards? Doesn't the fabric get kind of dusty and musty after a while?

I agree with the simple bedding and sky blue wall. It's cute!
