Day Bed



I had a spare room with junk growing in it but I didn't want it to stay that way.  I wanted this:


(...but knew I couldn't have this so I adjusted my vision!)

After 8 months of hunting on kijiji I found a daybed which was black, not my first choice, but I felt I could lighten it with accessories.



 That ugly  pile of metal turned into a beautiful daybed. 





I dressed it with a vintage pale blue chenille cover and used a set of old drapes as a bed skirt.



The blue black combination on the bed worked beautifully with a table I have had for a while.  I found this years ago and the top was red so I painted just the top pale blue and left the legs as is.

I love the vintage legs and crackled black finish.


I added in a chair that worked within the colours of the room and it was done.


It's nice to no longer have the mess of a junk room.
