Jenny Lind Beds
Posted on | October 30, 2008 | 2 Comments
I’ve slowly been looking for a bed for our guest room. The room is really small and can barely hold a double bed. A twin would be better but I rarely have just one guest stay over. Right now, the bed is on the floor because we couldn’t fit the box spring up the stairs. At first, I thought I wanted a bed that was bit more Shaker. Then, I discovered a few more modern versions on Room & Board. I like the large wood headboards and low footboards but they just feel too perfect. What about a Jenny Lind style bed like the one above. They feel rustic and just right for the space. But I’m afraid the footboard would be too high and strange. Maybe it will look more like a day bed?
I was searching ebay last night and found one for just $250. Most old beds are half beds so our modern mattresses never quite fit. I have to measure to see if it could work. My inspiration for the room is below and way below is our sad small guest room complete with heating vents. We’ll talk about the plans for those vents being eliminated later.

I am suppose to be outside collecting leaves for my wreathes. I just can’t…its just too cold outside. I’m being a baby and sitting inside all bundled up. But if I wasn’t inside I wouldn’t have come across these gorgeous paper cut books (via sfgirlbybay). Created by Georgia Russell “who uses a scalpel instead of a brush or a pen, creating constructions that transform found ephemera, such as books, music scores, maps, newspapers, currency and photographs”. They kinda remind me of hair that has been electrocuted. Check out more of Russell’s work: englandgallery.com.

I’m off to the craft store to buy some supplies to make some leaf wreaths. Before I go I wanted to share a great affordable art link. Good Shape Design has a great selection of colorful and graphic prints. All the images are silkscreen and range in size from 16 x 20 to 18x 24. Right now, I am checking out “Urns” above. I don’t know what I love more the pink or the urns. Maybe it’s the combo. A great piece for just $30. Check out more: goodshapedesign.com.
