Don’t waste a chance to send the romance quotient. Add a canopy crown — appropriately classic and salvaged — above the bed. Scour shops for decorations and old cloths which you could re-purpose into a crown and drape. Contemplate toys and craft items and unconventional materials which may be reconfigured. Pore over your scrap pile for molding fancy enough to get a bedchamber.

Found Fanfare

Mount a crown cornice made from decorative molding on the ceiling above the head of an old iron bedstead to cascade a canopy. Paint the molding red, then whitewash it and sand away the corners and some elevated parts of the molding to reveal the paint underneath, like the wood is worn with age. Collect green or pearl damask drapes into the mounted cornice and drape them to fall on either side of the headboard.

Shelf Splendor

A thrift store shelf using a ornate stained wood frontspiece upgrades your bedroom to status practically overnight. Shabby up it with a coat of white or cream milk paint and proceed over the dried paint with a coat of black tinted glaze to age the”crown” and bring out the detail. Securing the hardware to a wall stud. Trim the bottom of the shelf to bend across, fitting it and 2 side eye hooks at either end of the shelf. Sleeves at a lace tablecloth which youhemmed on the sides and’ve cut in half. Twist the tablecloth sections across the hanger, then hook it inside the shelf that is painted, and disperse the wings out to collapse next to the headboard.

Ribbon Ring

Wrap an embroidery hoop in satin ribbons so the shape is completely covered. Tie silk and satin ribbons to the ground, amassing them to either side to drape down over the head of their bed to the hoop. Out of fluttering too much in a breeze knot beads onto the ends of a few ribbons to keep the ribbon canopy. Twist stalks of artificial babies’ breath or miniature rosebuds across the”crown” before hanging it from the ceiling by lace ribbons looped over a hook.

Protective Panoply

Turn a decorative window upside-down, drill holes at the trunk to bolt it to the wall above a daybed, and paint it into a country of dilapidation. Gently sand the surface of the window so paint will stick to it and then paint it with tarnished silver, or platinum paint and fly speck. Fasten a cut dowel in the window and gather filmy white mosquito netting onto the dowel. Hang the planter and fluff of netting partially around the bed, the cloud.
