Echidna,
my wife just told me to tell you that (in her opinion), it stands for
She Who Must Be Obeyed.
Cheers,
Andrew

Yes that is true - but only when she is dressed up in a Nurses outfit and carrying a whip - all other times it is She Who May Be Obeyed.
Soooo, if she wants you to do what she says - explain to her what the appropriate clothing and appliances are!!!There was a young boy called Wyatt
Who was awfully quiet
And then one day
He faded away
Because he overused White

For padded insert type beadhead I'd be thinking make a frame (with top horizontal arced) from wood say 50mm wide by 25mm thick. Upholstered rectangle (arced on top) of chipboard drops in to sit on rebate or is held in place with figure 8 clips from behind.

Point number one with the possible exception of crapiata pinr the intentional changing of a timbers colour is simply a crime and should never be done! IMHO.
Option one do what I do with customers who spout such rubbish tell them their taste is simplistic and unrefined to pay up and shutup.
option 2 Respond to your wife "Who asked you"
option 3 tell you wife that you value her opinion but the is suffering an appaling lack of aesthetic maturity probably the result of decades of being exposed to crap production furniture and suggest she just make an effort to educate her tastes to be a bit more in line with reality as you decree it.
option 4 respond to her comments with "Yeh whatever, when you can make furniture then we can talk about timber colour"
option 5 and this is my real response to almost anyone (customers). That timber furniture needing to match is a load of bollocks a holdover from the fifties where everything was made of teak and only teak. That in my professional opinion there is no such thing as clashing timbers only laminex.
That I would rather Pi$$ fishhooks than change the colour of a piece of timber to match some grossly outmoded concept of imposing our palette of colour on nature.

Hey Phil,
You don't state your age, so just in case it is relevant: The padded headboard screwed to the wall will stop your hair falling out by the rubbing of your head on the current headboard during activities that cause your toe nails to tear the bedlinnen!
It doesn't decrease the pleasure I'm told.

Speaking as one who is the SWHBObeyed who has a HWMNBO (He who must not be obeyed), I would have simply taken the opportunity to either buy a new bed - whoo hoo!!! retail therapy time where's the credit card.!!!!!! or being the woody type who aims-to-make-all-the-wood-stuff-that-enters-the-house.. just simply try to make a new bed, or bed head.

Sounds like you will just have to build more to match
OR
sell the existing bedsides for an exorbident price, buy more tools & build more tables to match. This might take a few attempts untill you have the correct tools.Any thing with sharp teeth eats meat.
Most powertools have sharp teeth.
People are made of meat.
Abrasives can be just as dangerous as a blade.....and 10 times more painfull.

Come on Ross, don't hold back. Tell us what you really think.

"If a man is after money, he's money mad; if he keeps it, he's a capitalist; if he spends it, he's a playboy; if he doesn't get it, he's a never-do-well; if he doesn't try to get it, he lacks ambition. If he gets it without working for it; he's a parasite; and if he accumulates it after a life time of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out of life."
