Merging the Past With the PresentWicker headboards were commonly found in the Victorian era and they are unbelievably beautiful as modern painted pieces. The intricate handiwork that went into curling the grasses, creating the "beads" and fantastical shapes isn't something that exists any longer. Finding an antique or vintage wicker headboard and giving it a new life with a fresh coat of spray paint will give you a one-of-a-kind piece that makes the space.
