beautiful beds.

a few months ago BRAVO aired one of the best-if not THE best-reality show on television 

Nine by Design . 

{i told you all about it HERE}

 i was obsessed with the show.  i watched it every tuesday, tivo-ed it and then watched each episode again just to make sure i didn't miss anything.  bob and cortney, their SEVEN children {wolfie, bellamy, tallulah, breaker, five, hollader, and major} along with their homes served up some serious eye candy every episode.

with that said let me get to the point of my post {there is a point}.

Canopy Beds

i LOVE them.

i have THIS one.

i love them because they are traditional, romantic, and remind me of when i was a little girl pretending to be a princess. i would use chairs on the corners of my bed to drape sheets across because i was convinced a real princess slept surrounded by flowing fabric. OK-so i watched sleeping beauty a little too much. anyhow,  it's funny because i still get all giddy when i see a beautiful canopy bed.  

now imagine how giddy i got when i saw tallulah and bellamy's room in one of the nine by design episodes. my immediate thought, "i have to have a bed like that for my dolls!".  sadly for me, after doing a little bit of research i have come to find out the beds pictured are antiques from bali...MUST.BE.NICE. since i don't have the luxury of flying to bali and bringing home some beds that probably cost a gazillion dollars back with me, my beauties will have to make do with their ikea toddler beds for now . 

either way it doesn't hurt to get inspired...
