New headboard

So I don't like the pink, and I'm going to see if I can't dye it a rich green colour (we love the colour green =] ) so that it more suits the way we want our bedroom to look. I considered red - but I don't like being surrounded by too much red, and for a bedroom green is so much more relaxing.

But other than that, this is our new headboard! I've been wanting one for as long as I can remember, and this is pretty much exactly what I was looking for. We found it at an auction house that doubles as a second-hand store. I went their -specifically- to find one. Some guy was bringing it in to get it sold, just as I walked in my with Mum. Fell instantly in love and asked what they wanted for it.

I scored it for $20AU. Not bad, if I do say so myself. Its solid wood, although I'm not sure what kind. I love the little details, and how there's the space for two bed side tables, as well. Now we just need to find the tables to match. Also, I'm unsure whether to put legs on our bed so that we don't need to cut the headboard down to fit, or keep it low. Decisions, decisions =]
