Cool Idea: Log Some Sleep
Swedish blogger Design Delight recently took a trip to London and visited the new Anthropologie store there. She snapped this photo of a display bed made from piles of logs, and I'm absolutely in love with it. It's so magical looking, straight out of a fairy tale.
Before and After: A Sad, Sad Daybed, Rescued!
One Living Etc reader had been looking for daybeds by Ercol, a British furniture manufacturer known for its bentwood designs, for ages and finally bought this one off of eBay for a good price. But it required a bit of work. She "sanded it all down, oiled it, replaced the webbing which had crumbled to dust."
Do You Wear Socks in Bed?

Do You Wear Socks in Bed?
Always, or else my feet get cold.
Only if I'm freezing to death.
Do You Have a Bench at the Foot of Your Bed?
I've always loved the look of a bench set at the foot of a bed. Not only is it a convenient place to sit and tie your shoes Mr. Rogers-style, but it's another place to add a bit of color and pattern if you choose an upholstered bench. They're also great if you have a small bedroom, because you can have seating without an entire designated sitting area.
Cool Idea: Chalk Headboard in 500 Days of Summer
As I've mentioned before, 500 Days of Summer is full of design eye candy. One of my favorite décor ideas siphoned from the film is Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character's chalkboard wall headboard. Chalkboard paint, as you know, is quite trendy these days in the interior design world.
Guess What This Headboard Is Made From?
This basketweave headboard is made from a type of leaf that is woven together. Can you guess what type of leaves are used to make this headboard? (Hint: think tropical.)
Love It or Hate It? A Mirror Facing the Bed
After I rearranged my bedroom recently, a friend of mine said with a wink, "Oh, so the mirror's facing the bed." I hadn't even thought about that arrangement until she called it out. While my boudoir is a bit too small to try to keep the bed out of full-length mirror's view, there are many couples who find it advantageous to "reflect" on events in this room.
Where Do You Nap?
While I'm often tempted to nap on my sofa, I find my bed to be infinitely more comfortable and relaxing. Where do you take a midday snooze?Source
Where Do You Nap?
The sofa.
Do You Have an Upholstered Headboard?
Metal or wooden headboards are often more timeless and versatile than upholstered ones, which is a plus if you've invested in your furniture. But, upholstered headboards are much more comfortable and ideal for those of you who like to read in bed. I love this sunny yellow floral headboard, but I might tire of the pattern quickly.
Love It or Hate It? Spring Bed
As much as I love trampolines, I don't quite have space for one, and seeing as I'm without child, I'd be a little embarrassed to buy one. The Thor Høy Spring Bed ($3,730), on the other hand, I wouldn't be ashamed to own. It's made of plywood and car springs with a slatted base, and the springs respond regardless of the firmness of your mattress.
