Haha, don't you just love a corny play on words?
Anyhow I added the canopy to my bed today out of boredom. I had to lower the mirror and I am not sure I am liking it there but I will wait before I decide to keep it or put something else there.

I really wish my camera had the ability to take wide indoor shots. Oh well.
Sonny has approved of the canopy:
(Yes those are two separate pictures...aint he adorable?)

I like the canopy - maybe softening/draping it with some sheer gold material to pick up the color of your duvet...
ReplyDeleteHi Dusa, thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first bought the bed back in 1994 (or 95) I had fabric draped along it. It was in a bigger bedroom so it made sense. I'm not sure I will go to the expense of that until I move into more permanent housing though and since it's a smaller bedroom I wasn't even sure I would like the canopy on it.
I do like it for a change though! If I find the right fabric though, I wont rule it out. :-)
I like it!! Very dramatic, but adds height and weight to the room, good choice!
ReplyDeleteHi Nice and Easy, thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteI was reluctant to put the canopy on. I've been in this place since the beginning of June and thought I would be in a house again by now.
Anyhow, I've been bored and needed a change so I pulled out the canopy stiles and rails (pardon me, I don't know the exact terminology so I am borrowing from my life as a window and door sales rep and daughter of a windows and door manufacturer) and it turned out better than I had imagined.
I love to being able to change things up for free.
I like it! I agree that maybe a light fabric draped around (over) it would soften the look. but do love it.

ReplyDeleteHi Ried. Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteI made a trip to Tuesday Morning to see what they had available and I spied a couple of items I hope will work. Hopefully what I found is still there in a couple of days.
I probably wont do much draping though. It's a pretty small room and I do want to be able to enjoy the big picture on the back wall. I have a thought process though. We'll see if what I am thinking will soften it up a bit without making the room feel as though it's half the size.
I guess I'm in the minority: I like it better without fabric. Also think the mirror looks great hung lower. (My hub wants to hang everything high and as a shorty I of course want it low--but as it happens lower's better design-wise as well.)
ReplyDeleteHowdy TexNan - Thanks for commenting!
ReplyDeleteBefore a saw your comment, I had already had in my mind using some kind of something to soften it up so I found two panels for cheap. I do like it both ways, with and without.
Oh and as for the mirror...haha. I accidentally hung it very high when I moved in. I hadn't planned on being here this long so I wasn't going to bother with lowering it but when I put the canopy on, I had no choice.
Thanks again for stopping by and hope you had a fabulous weekend!
