what about a headboard such as this (could attached to wall) and the frame just butts up to it (forget other stuff)...overall look is not heavy like our big wood piece. Could fudge it a bit and frame could land in the border area. We like two regular size pillows anyway...and could just get two larger shams which would bring down a heavy look.
Master closet?
Light whitewashed
something like this??? maybe on a smaller scale?
