I've never had a footboard only because I'm a real rough sleeper: I toss and turn and like to stretch out. But I love your bed frames and bedspread and colors, they're beautiful. Right now, I doubt I'd care what I'd sleep on because I'm still nesting in a hospital bed with upright head and can't wait to be able to sleep normally on anything else again. Even Klo's pillow looks better to me right now!!
