1. We got the Hemnes bed for our kid. Beware–it’s extra long and extra narrow, so standard mattresses don’t fit. And we had just bought a fancy, organic mattress a year before.
    I like a “lit bateau” or sleigh bed style.

  2. I was totally enjoying your daybed room and then you said you’re painting it so now I’m even more intrigued. I’m wondering what colours you’ll go with??? I guess we’ll have to wait and see. I am in love with all the grays right now and thinking of paint our kitchen (only after two years!) in dark and light grays.Cant’t wait. Spell check is screaming at me in gyrating red lines to ‘correct’ but in Ireland we spell it ‘colours’and ‘neighbours’ and i fear the nun who taught us would turn in her grave if I spelled them any other way haha. Great blog post as always

    For my fourteenth birthday I asked to redecorate my room (too much HGTV at too young of an age? ha!) and we got a daybed very similar to the Savannah Daybed you have pictured. I loved that thing, and it came with a trundle bed which was handy. I’m pretty sure I “styled” it with a homemade white duvet cover with ribbon trim. The rest of the room was not cottage style AT ALL (yellow walls and a jute rug?!) but hey, my fourteen year old self loved it 🙂

  4. Really good info. Thanks!
