I feel that this is a bad idea: book headboard.

1) It is basically a collecting ground for dust, which is exactly what you want above your head while you're sleeping.

2) It's going to get dirty/torn very easily.

3) The first time you sit up in bed you'll bed and fold bits of pages and it'll look rubbish. The project's from a year ago, I bet it looks really tatty now.

4) It just seems like a warning to other books. I bet the ones you read in bed wouldn't like it, having to stare over your shoulder at its comrades, with pages that could once flutter in the breeze nailed flat to a wall.

(Though if you are going to do that I suppose they've done it quite well, unlike other book atrocities which don't even look nice.)

I went to look at their other projects - such organised http://www.designeverydayblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/3.jpg>underwear! It does look quite nice, but I am somehow deeply suspicious of anyone together enough to have so many matching sets for everyday use. A friend of mine does that, she said she just assumed it was what you were supposed to do, and was surprised when someone at a party made reference to someone else being the sort of person whose pants always matched their bra as if that were unusual. Maybe I am just a slattern.

Matching sets. Ahahaha! The closest I get to matching my bra and pants is probably by shade, so I might manage to wear a 'nude' bra with a similar shade of pants but mostly it's is whatever comes out of the drawer first.

Which is not to say that I don't like the idea of matching sets but the effort is more efforty than I can be bothered with.

They always look very nice on other people! And on the few occasions I have managed to achieve the look I've felt very snazzy. But yes, the effort is too efforty.
