I have been looking for the perfect bed for many years. I have seen some that I like very much, but since I have a hard time getting rid of things, I am very deliberate about any furniture purchase that I make. I have to really love a piece of furniture that comes into my house! Also, I think a bed is something that one will have for many years, so it is important to select wisely.
House and Garden says that iron frame canopy beds are 'in', but I have never really been one to select something because it is 'in'. Although I think that iron beds are great, I am looking for something a little more classic (although some of the beds featured below are not really classic!).
Here are some beds that have captured my eye. Note that there are no footboards as I have a VERY tall husband!
Swedish Blond Ingrid bed
Nina Campbell Marilyn bed (I like the cream crackle lacquer with gilver (silver/gold) details)
Ironies Araby Bed (in pieced bone!)
Oly Studio St. Helena bed
Ironies Greylock Bed
Nancy Corzine Louis XVI bed
Ironies Veronica Bed
Kerry Joyce for Dessin Fournir (may be a bit dark and heavy for me, but it is a work of art!)
Williams-Sonoma Sutton Headboard
If I did an upholstered headboard, I would do it in China Seas Java Java in French Blue (above) or a beautiful solid blue linen.To visit my store, Quatrefoil Design, click here.
