Why I Love This Bed

This headboard is an old fireplace mantel. How cool is that? Love the distressed finish of it. Almost has a European vibe but it’s actually a bedroom in a beach house. Good idea for Mrs. Hilton Header!!

I know that the bedspread is linen and the embroidered shams are from Neiman Marcus because I actually bought it a couple years ago but returned it thinking it wasn’t what I was looking for. It was gorgeous but I was worried it was the wrong “feel”.

Couple years later… guess it was the right feel because I am still attracted to it. However, I had a silk bedspread made for my bed because I liked the idea of not having a dust ruffle. Unfortunately, I have outgrown that silk look and fallen for the look of linen… probably because it’s more like me.

It feels aging has given me a comfortable, worn linen look ….I no longer feel as glamorous and fussy as silk.  In addition, I don’t shave as much which really adds to that European vibe :)

I love this bed too!! With all the decorating blogs I've been into lately, I am thinking of redoing my bedroom and love the linen look also.

Your house would totally fit with that style. Note: Mrs. Hilton Header :)
