beds & headboards

we LOVE our new bedroom. just love it!

we (finally) upgraded from a full size bed to a queen and it's been amazing sleep since. we bought this bed from west elm. we wanted something simple, clean and easy to adapt to whatever we decided on the "feel" of the room. it's perfect!



we shortly after decided we need some sort of headboard. while i would be head-over-heels for something fun like this rattan headboard


or something more luxurious and pretty like this gorgeous upholstered headboard, there is no way i could convince stuart to go for it.




so we've moved on to thinking of maybe reclaimed wood plank paneling the wall behind our bed in a gorgeous grey or faded color reclaimed wood. but then there comes a thousand questions to decide on...

vertical or horizontal? (we're thinking horizontal)

what color wood? grey? white wash? sun faded lavender is our ideal, but how long will it take us to find that and stay within our budget?

is it socially ok to go to a strangers house and ask them if we can pick apart their deteriorating barn or shed on their property? (probably not)

do we do the whole wall? or just 3/4ish to mimic wainscoting feeling?

here are some of our inspiration photos from pinterest
