Decay vs Design Finding a headboard that looked like grunge was a curious experience in Florida.  I marvel at what the materials and techniques would be.  That's what the first and third images are - closeups of the crackle effect.  I get the impression Elmer's Glue or acrylic is involved in the process. And Martha Stewart youtube instructions are easily found. The second image is likely easier to identify.  It is the carpeting in the lobby, with a pretty water lily motif.
