I now know why you and DH leave for Mazatlan on a yearly basis. Tonight's temperatures in St Paul read -13 [forecast is -15] with 30 mph winds. The current wind chill reads -35 degrees.
Now keep in mind they changed the formula for the wind chill about five years ago. I heard this on the radio today. Under the old wind chill system, it would read -65 to -70. That temperature has not been felt in St Paul since the early 1970's.
I was outside this evening with the winds and temps. Oh my goodness! I have envy of the Mazatlan temperatures.
Oh how beautiful! And wonderful linens too. I've seen this sort of thing (not such beautiful quality I might add) for sale as a headboard in France - in a catalogue funnily enough. Carved wooden headboards.
Like Slinger, we've had horrendous windchills in Wis. this weekend ~ this following a paralyzing blizzard midweek, with another foot of snow predicted for the week. I am so ready for spring! *whimper*
This ornate headboard reminds me a little bit of hand-carved screens or room dividers I've seen in some countries.

That is huge and it does look like the room dividers.
I need a headboard but I think I want one that is padded, easy for reclining while reading in bed.
A very impressive headboard.

Before I continued scrolling down I too thought it was screens. Nice shot. Lovely bed.

Beautiful photograph. That must be some house.
Beautiful headboard.
Fancy! Do you get to sleep in it?
That's a beautiful bed. I want to take a nap there. I think they did use dividers to make this headboard.
how stunning! I love the monochrome effect they have created, with the patterns on the soft furnishing sort of echoing those on the headboard.
Goddness me, that is what you call a headboard!
It recalls to my memory the film Frida played by Selma Hayeck. A great movie and a great interpreter.
Now that's a bed! Love the iron work and pillows.

I just love the idea of house tours. Would carved wood such as this be quite typical of the country/region?
Yes, they remind me of wood carved beds I've seen in Spain and Morocco (the headboards weren't as tall, though).
Seeing that wooden lace, I immediately thought of moucharabieh which can be seen in many Arabian countries.
And I'll take a nap here, me too!
that's a beautiful and intricately carved headboard.
