apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

aside from number 7 which i find repulsive and could never sleep near without needing to disinfect immediately, i think these are great!

Just a reminder- if you live in San Francisco you need to make sure that any art mounted over your bed is light enough that it wouldn't kill you if it fell on you during an earthquake. Glass frames are a no-no. Canvas is ok, as long as it's not too big or heavy.

The dog is scaring me ...

Sorry to be critical of someone's beloved pet, but I can't even look at the main photo without thinking of ripping the entire bed apart and cleaning out all traces of what looks like a very unwell dog.

I believe the dog in the first photo is a borzoi. They're thin, built like (and related to) greyhounds.

I thought it was a camel.

Isn't a headboard, first and foremost, supposed to be something you can lean your head against (hence the name)? These arrangements don't look like they'd be conducive to that. I can't imagine sitting up to read in any of these set-ups...

...but I do like the dog (who appears to be a healthy and beautiful Borzoi, as KidMoe notes).

If you put a stretched canvas at the head of your bed, you are going to damage it by pushing up against it with your pillows. This is along the lines of the post about displaying art or books on chairs.

If you stretched a favorite fabric over regular frames, then you wouldn't worry about ruining the artwork. I would be worried about crushing the 3D elements on #6.

the borzoi looks beautiful, healthy, & happy to me.

The dog is a Russian wolfhound, and they do indeed have skinny frames (like greyhounds). Looks like a perfectly healthy and happy dog to me too!

This just in from Wikipedia:

The Borzoi ([ˈbɔɹzɔɪ, ˈbɔːzɔɪ]) is a breed of domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris) also called the Russian Wolfhound and brought to Russia from Middle-Asian countries. Having medium-length and slightly curly hair, it is similar in shape to Greyhounds, and is a member of the sighthound family.

Live and learn! (Whatever you call them, they're wonderful-looking canines, IMO!)

You'd stretch a canvas out in a week. One night of a firm pillow accidentally jamming into it and it's ruined. Use plywood panels mounted with security picture mounts. Security mounts are what airports, hotels, hospitals etc use to make sure the artwork doesnt leap off the wall onto someone.

I LOVE pic #4. Can anyone tell me how to go about creating the same thing? I've never seen a lace pattern so big...

I completely agree mirandabee.

loving the top one only it looks a bit paint by numbers-ish lol.

Its a great idea to put the painting low like a headboard tho... genius some might say.
