    LOVE this Karena! Those votives lined up on the mantle are so charming, and that painting - well, that goes without saying, but STUNNING! Really! WOW!

    Thanks for stopping by the blog for my bosporus blog, and for leaving your ideas for the bedroom! I really do appreciate it!

    I have an upholstred headboard, it's leather. I have to do something to cover up that window that I am going to be pushing the bed up against - so that's why I was thinking of the canopy.

    I am in my bedroom now - giving it some thought - still on the fence myself! Oh what will I do!?!?!?!? LOL!
