When I was a little girl, I dreamed of having a canopy bed, complete with all the frills and pink lace an 8 year old could ask for. My mom, being the creative woman she is, constructed a make-shift canopy made from an old set of sheets for above my bed. I loved it!
Today I’m loving this image above; a contemporary and modern take on the traditional canopy bed. The canopy is creating a space within a space and therefore making the bed an ultimate sanctuary and getaway.

I also always wanted a canopy bed when I was a litle girl, but I never got one! Boo! This one is gorgeous in a grown up way! Thanks for sharing!!

I still don't understand how I did all that…my mom must have been mad.
Gorgeous photo! That bed is to die for! XOXO
Beautiful bed, but it doesn't really goes with the style fo my bedroom…
I too always wanted a canopy bed… am now coveting the Campaign one from Anthropolgie! This is a great one!!!
Thanks for your visit! Yes, canopy beds give such a sense of being in a cocoon, and 4-poster beds are always a selling-point for me for hotels. This is a lovely simple one!
Love that canopy! When I was about that age I had a pink canopy with lace and everything.
It kind of gives me nightmares now.
I found you from Mise's blog. Its funny finding another So Cal girl on a blog from Ireland 🙂
Thank you for your kind comment.
Me too I love canopy beds, designed my first one shortly after being married and still sleep in it, never thought of being unsafe during earthquakes…but being in New York we worry about other things than earthquakes… Will keep reading your blog.
omg that's gorgeous! makes me think of a five star hotel room on some lovely island…warm breezy and bright = ]my mom used to have a black iron wrought canopy…all i had was a bunk bed :/ LOL <3
