On a recent shopping trip through one of my go to showrooms,
Leslie Taylor on Slocum
(sandwiched between Le Louvre and Legacy Antiques) I happened upon this
gorgeous bed. This would have been a great V-Day post but sometimes life gets in the way, so you get to see it a few days late. The Italian antique bed has been retrofitted from a full size to
accommodate our standard queen size mattresses, and features the most gorgeous finishing techniques with rubbed a
gris and highlighted with gold accents. The bed looks as if it came straight from an Italian villa - all that is needed is an antique
cassone (an Italian marriage chest typically placed at the end of the bed - it was usually heavily carved and the finest piece furniture in an Italian Renaissance-era family) and I would even hang some embroidered sheers from the canopy, just to add another romantic touch. I also love how they staged the space and mixed in some more clean lined porcelain lamps on one side to edge it up a little - a trait that LT is know for.
A closeup of the intricately carved headboard - even with
bountiful pillows this headboard is still the piece
de resistance
