Bed Crowns!

Hi Bloggerettes!  I've been day dreaming about pretty bedrooms ever since I found this lovely bed crown.  I started imagining what if.....
Here's the bed crown....
And here's the inspiration rooms....

Oh, how I want this painting!
Love all the pretty and different choices of fabrics used in this bedroom.

I took the bed crown to my booth at Miss Minnie's and it sold the next day.  Darn.  I wanted to keep it!

Okay, gotta go work on the nightmare chair!

~~hugs~~

Oooh, I love the simplicity of the first bedroom's crowns and I'll take the chandy and the bedding along with it, Sissie! I'd love to do one of those over a daybed I have in our spare bedroom. I think it would look so pretty.

Sissie, I am telling you toss that stupid chair! LOL I am tossing around making a bed crown for my bedroom. So glad I was able to get that bed crown for so cheap! I'm just kidding you, I didn't buy it. I wish I had, it would have been the motivation I needed

Hi Sissie,
I got one of those shelves that I am going to turn into a bed crown too! I loved seeing those photos showcasing crowns! I have so many projects...so little time!~Hugs, Patti

Donna said...

I love bed crowns too, Sissie. The ones you have pictured are so dreamy! There's a great article about them in the latest issue of Romantic Country magazine. And I always thought those vintage Syroco shelves would make the perfect crowns! Now you will just have to find another one for yourself:)

Rebecca Nelson said...

I've seen half-moon table-tops being used as bed crowns, too! LOVE IT!

xoRebecca PS: GET YOU BUMM OUT IN THAT GARAGE AND WORK ON THAT CHAIR! YOU'RE SLIPPIN'!

Jacqueline~Cabin and Cottage said...

One of those would just make a room! Maybe I need one too. Anyway you probably made someone VERY happy. You do that all the time!

Betty said...

I have never heard of a bed crown, but have seen pics before. Now that would look lovely in my Granddaughters room.

Tammy@T's Daily Treasures said...

Love the atmosphere of that first room and the painting is lovely! Good luck with the chair. Everytime I get a wild hair about doing something right then and there, no matter what, I always wind up making a bigger mess. :/ Have a good day! Tammy

People Who Know Me Would Say: said...

Tres romantique! That second inspiration photo would have had me buying a crown....even though I wouldn't have a place for it in my home!!!

Amy Chalmers said...

Hi Sissie, I have made one custom bed crown~it is called a coronet! I think that was very smart of you to add a pic of what someone could do with that shelf to convert it to such a pretty thing!! I love that image the most!

Olivia said...

Oh, that crown is heavenly! I just read your chair post! Ha ha, put that chair in timeout! Go back to it when you have a tiny drop of loving feelings for it....you can do it! Plus, I think it is pretty cute how it turned out!
Hugs,
Olivia

I find that if I really like something I made or painted , that is the very thing that sells first.
I say it just shows good taste , Tee hee

Hi Sissie,
I love all those rooms. That is a gorgeous painting. I hope you find another crown you can keep for yourself.
Blessings~

I have been saving a curvy and ornate shelf that I have for the very same thing, once I paint the bedroom. I love your inspiration photo... that is just what I am dreaming of! I can't believe you took that beauty to the booth, I bet it was snatched up in minutes! Your nightmare chair turned out so sweet, just perfect for the beach cottage. I love blogland as much as you mentioned, never and i mean NEVER have I met so many amazingly talented people that all 'get' eachother. Happy Wednesday Sissie! t. xoxo

The bed crown is beautiful! I have seen those before but didn't know what they were called. I defintely would have kept it for my own bedroom! Now I think I'll have to keep my eye out for one to use at home in Arizona.
