Moving on up

So in a week, we are set to move into a swanky, modern apartment. Currently we live in a bit of a craphole- we've loved it actually- its our first actual house and came complete with a yard (and an extremely unkempt family of greenery), a woodburning fireplace (whose cover is actually dislodged so when we've had fires, we've also placed something heavy in front of it to keep the fire where it belongs) and a wall of mirrors (the house used to be a beauty parlor aka "The Hair Salon"- clever name). Needless to say, its been quirky and rather dirty, but we've made it our own and will miss it as we move on up to a swankier, recently built flat with all new appliances (including a dishwasher- wohoo!), hardwood floors, a "soaking tub" (not quite a jacuzzi but large!), double sinks in the bathrooms, exposed concrete and marble countertops throughout. And with this move comes a whole set of decorating opportunities- one of which is to create or buy a headboard. So I've been scouring the web for inexpensive ideas. Here's what I've come up with so far...what do you think?

These ideas, by the way, are from diyideas.com.
