Ocean Park Headboard - Hillsdale Furniture

There is a large difference between what you could expect when you took a ride on a large ocean liner in the 1940’s as opposed to what you can expect today. Today when you take a cruise, unless you’ve paid dearly for prime accommodations, you are forced to sleep on two pushed-together twin beds, which generally look a lot like the type of accommodations you might get at a cheap hotel room. Earlier, however, when luxury was something that people spent their lives saving for, the accommodations for the wealthy on an ocean liner were truly decadent.

The Ocean Park Headboard by Hillsdale Furniture is a metal headboard that looks much like what you would expect to find in one of the beautiful staterooms on board an older ocean liner. This metal headboard has a refreshing look with a downward slope on the top instead of the popular upwards slope. The metal posts have classic ball finials on the top of them, made in a slightly different shade in order to give a truly unique look.

Hillsdale Furniture is responsible for this beautiful headboard, which is available in full, queen, and king sizes and would work perfectly not only in a master bedroom but also in a guest room. If you’re looking for something truly decadent and yet classy enough to make your bedroom complete, the Ocean Park Headboard by Hillsdale Furniture may be exactly what you need to suit your tastes.

Lindsey Headboard - Hillsdale Furniture

When most people think of metal headboards, they think of an adult bedroom. This is probably because most metal headboards, back in the earlier part of last century, were only used by adults, and were very rarely used by children. If they were used in a child’s bedroom, it was only because the parents had a great deal of money.

It is a shame that more parents do not think of getting metal beds for their children, as there are shapes and curves in metal beds that can not be created in wood furniture. The Lindsey Headboard, for instance, is the perfect example of a metal headboard that would be ideal for a young girl. To begin with, it has plenty of beautiful curls and castings that make it very feminine and beautiful. The headboard is finished in a textured white powdered coat, making it not only more feminine looking, but also allowing it to perfectly match any existing bedroom décor.

The Lindsey Headboard is created by Hillsdale Furniture, meaning that it is extremely sturdy and will do well for any young girl’s bed. It is solidly welded and will last for generations. You can easily imagine this white frame in a beautiful pink or purple themed bedroom, where it would set off a nice contrast to the scheme of the room, providing a focal point and making the whole room come together. You can purchase the headboard alone or the entire frame, giving you a more complete look.

If you’ve ever tried to purchase a gift for a female lover in your life, you’ll realize that it’s not exactly easy. Most women have strict ideas as to the style that they like, and finding something that will suit them, that they will enjoy, and that they will be able to make use of can be tricky. Most men tend to stick with flowers or jewelry, but the truly inventive ones often come up with a different kind of gift, such as a wood headboard.

“How,” you may be asking, “is a wood headboard something beautiful that my girl would enjoy?” The truth is that she may not, especially if she has a headboard that she already loves. If, however, she does not, or if she has no headboard at all, a beautiful metal headboard could be one way to provide her with a beautiful, and thoughtful, gift. The Riviera Headboard by the Fashion Bed Group is a feminine headboard that works beautifully in any woman’s bedroom. This headboard features wood posts topped with pointed tips, while the center of the bed is made of metal. The camelback design is high, and inside of the design are graceful curls mixed with straight-line slats. This headboard feels exotic and will work well in any woman’s bedroom and is available in every size, from twin to king, allowing it to fit any existing bed frame. If you’re seeking out a unique and beautiful gift for your love, a headboard such as this would be ideal.

Furniture made from used newspapers

If this item had no pictures you may find it hard to comprehend that furniture can be made from materials that you would have thought to be too weak to cope, but these images defy all that logical and just go to prove that not everything has to be made in accordance to normal thinking.

These pieces of furniture have been designed and produced by Yasmin Sethi from the UK. She has used tightly rolled newspapers to give this set a look and functional appearance which is probably not really seen in any other style of furniture.

This is part of her foundation course in art and design, but if they ever did get into the stores, do you think that you may be able to choose which newspapers make up your furniture?
