Turning a rental into a home: DIY headboard part 2

We don't have the option to paint in our rental, which is a shame. I had wonderful visions of a soft blue-grey color on the walls of our bedroom. Since we can't paint, I wanted to make a headboard that would become more of a focal point and hopefully take the eyes away from the boring walls.

Here's the headboard in all her glory:

Here's a close up of the tufting and the pattern of the fabric.

I picked up the burnt orange panels at TJ Maxx on clearance.

I painted on a blank canvas a couple of years ago and decided I still liked it enough to hang in our new room.
I really like how the headboard is a little taller than normal.
My dear husband installed a ceiling fan! It was totally worth it! We didn't have to rewire or anything crazy, so when we get ready to move out we will put their light fixture back in place.
