Now this is fantastic idea! Due to the smallness of our bedroom and, consequently, the required placement of our bed underneath a window, we don’t have a headboard.

Long, thin pillows attached to the wall, though? That could work.

Simon Schubert is a German-born artist whose two-dimensional works are created entirely by folding sheets of paper… Yes, no pen or pencil, just folds!!

I have a hard enough time drawing rooms in perspective, I am completely amazed by all of these.  Check out even more of his work here.

Wow. I wonder how big the paper is? And, how much prep/math is involved before he starts folding?
