Buy It/Make It: Headboards

I missed a chance to purchase a wonderful golden velvet vintage headboard at an estate sale a few weeks ago (with matching bench - sniff) and have been kicking myself ever since. I love the look of a big tufted velvet headboard (though noone looks better in front of it than the lovely Betty Draper ...)



I know that there are new alternatives out there, so if I can't have vintage, I can at least look at my other options in another round of Buy it/Make it:

It is getting chillier (I was just in Denver over the weekend and it had the nerve to SNOW on me) and that means pulling out the cold weather accessories. This is a round-up of scarves that I covet, and where you can buy one or make your own!
