Folding granma's table cloth rug over the headboard


My grandparents on my dad's side were from Holland (my dad moved to Canada when he was very young).  We have a few things of my grandmother's tucked away in the bins in the storage room.  I have wanted to use this tablecloth* in my home forever!  I considered nailing it up to the wall in several different apartments over the years, but never executed.  Finally, finally, it has a home. 

*yes, it is like a rug, I am assuming if you have dutch grandparents, this is very familiar to you? 


PS...I desire a wall of narrow built in bookshelves along the entire wall behind the bed (not going to happen) and custom mirrors inset in the closet doors...the mirrors could happen...I have had two quotes in the past, but $500 seems excessive...my hairdresser's husband is a glass guy but I quit my hairdresser.  Maybe I will call for quotes right now instead of goofing around on the computer!!
