Beautiful! Just what I expected.After having a big, bulky wooden with mirror, 80's (old time water-bed head board) it is nice to have the total opposite. Delicate and Beautiful. Color reminds me of the beach and since it is down in Florida it makes sense. The bedroom is painted bright yellow at this time, and this headboard could actually go with any color if I choose to paint. Can hardly wait to move and be able to set it up in my new home.
