I'm super sick of our bedroom. I've redecorated most of the rooms in our house at least 10 times over, but the master bedroom has this behemoth of a headboard that makes the space impossible to revamp with minor changes, so I just keep putting it off. I justify my laziness (and frugality) by reminding myself that we want to move, that if I do anything wacky in there I will have to redo it for sale, and that it's just too much trouble to sell all the furniture in there and totally redecorate only to find my new goodies won't work in another house.
Well, first of all I'm beginning to think we're never going to move. For sure we will lose our shirts if we sell our current modest mid century ranch in this economic climate, and for seconds we can't even find another place we want to live. Well, not one that we can afford, anyway.
So maybe I should stop stalling and just dewit?

Well, if I do I want this bed. And that wall color. What do you think? Too predictable? Part of me would love an antique pencil post bed or a very simple art deco burlwood semicircular headboard, but dizamn they are hard to find in king size. And you know I would rip out an eye tooth (preferably not mine) for this bed in a king:

Honestly, it's hard to find ANY awesome bed in a king size. It's almost enough to make me scale back to a queen. Almost.
I would actually prefer to go sans headboard, but I have two windows behind the bed and I'm thinking about doing an entire curtain wall, so a proper headboard that's actually attached to the bed is a must. I don't want to wake up with my head jacked up to the wall, eating curtains. Curtain munching.

Although, at least curtains are soft. If I had this magic mountain wall behind the bed, I might get rock burn when, uh... you know. I do like that bed, though.

Whatever I do, I think it needs to be low and lean because we have a giant hideous fan over our bed, and I would prefer not to draw attention to it. Imagine if those antlers were spinning around like a giant horny wheel of death, and then imagine how bad that would look framed by a canopy bed. Bad. But we live in Texas and it's very hot and I'm not getting rid of our ugly fan. I would like for someone to give me that bed, though. Also the bedspread, if you please.

Did I mention how hard it is to find a cool king size bed for cheap? I suppose we could always just get something sleekly generic like this, and then do a weirdo wall treatment behind it. I could get rid of the curtains and do simple roman shades. Then I might go crazy and wood panel the wall, or wallpaper it, or... something.

I do know I would not be mad about living in this room. Look at it! It has shiny wallpaper and dark ceilings and an awesome fireplace, and there are golden balls everywhere.
And the best part is that when it's bow chickka bowww bowm time, you shut out the peeping toms with a very high class antique screen. Then you can turn on the mood lighting and crank the Barry White down low, which would be super easy since the lights and stereo are there in bed with you.
Damn, I hope that sexy bed comes in a king.
