One of my of my biggest inspirations in Tom's (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) chalkboard headboard in the movie 500 Days of Summer. While I am not artistic enough to actually cover a chalkboard with cool drawings, I like the idea. I found this picture which has a blackboard with another headboard on top of it. I really like that idea.
Another cool idea that I saw while browsing the web was the idea of using an old door or mirror as a headboard. It could be pretty cool if I can find an old door or mirror...
Another idea I had was to use fabric to make sort of a padded headboard. It probably wouldn't be too difficult with a thin board and a staple gun. Here are some examples:
This is Serena's bedroom in Gossip Girl. I love how the headboard extends beyond the edges of the bed.
I also thought that I might try to find a curtain/drape/sheet with a cool pattern and just hang that. Maybe on a curtain rod...
Out of everything I saw, though, these two are definitely my favorites. I just love them.

I love love love the last one! (along with the others) I've been thinking about this a lot lately too - I had my dad pick up this six foot map from downtown StP and am thinking about trying to decoupage it on some kind of wooden board.
OR taking a bunch of square wood pieces and decorating them all differently - some of those square ikea mirrors with the big wooden border etc... and kind of making a collage. I love thinking about decorating a new apartment!
ooh that sounds cool! you could cut the map and put the pieces on the smaller squares...
