loving lately: canopy beds
Why is it that the one room in the house in which we spend the most time is usually the last one to get any love and attention? We may be passed out for 99% of the time we’re in our bedrooms, but why pass up the opportunity to add some drama? I’ll be honest: there’s currently nothing “master” about our master bedroom except for the vaulted ceilings and amazing natural light. The furniture is my hubby’s old set he bought before we started dating (it’s knotty pine, which I painted and also why you haven’t seen any pictures of it on here) and it matches, which I think makes me dislike it more than anything. I’ve sprinkled personality, color, interest, contrast and love all over the rest of the house, it’s finally time to get my bum in gear and make a plan for our master and transform it into a hideaway for me and baby daddy!
I’m gravitating more and more to the idea of a canopy bed. We certainly have the space and I love the idea of adding such a dramatic touch. The trick will be to make this space as middle-of-the-road-not overtly masculine, yet not feminine at all (I am married to a Marine, after all), which is why I’ve never considered one before. What do you think? Do you love canopy beds? Do you think it’s a style that will stand the test of time? I’m finding them super dreamy and elegant. Here are some fabulous examples of canopy beds that are all over my radar lately:

Mark D. Sikes via Veranda
Bailey McCarthy via Country Living
Thomas O’Brien
Tommy Hilfiger via Town and Country
Darryl Carter via Elle Decor
I was shocked to discover that there are SO many gorgeous options out there to choose from, from super budget-friendly all the way up to investment/let’s-pass-this-down-to-our-grandkids options! Here are a few that caught my eye; which one is your favorite?
Row 1: Gwendoline Spindle Bed / Frame Canopy Bed / Aberdeen Metal Canopy
Row 2: Rhodes Canopy Bed / Gray Marlin Canopy Bed / Woodland Slumber Canopy
