I agree! I love the wallpaper. Unfortunately bright orange wouldn't work in any room of my house.

I wanted an Asian theme in my new bedroom, but couldn't afford new furniture. I ended up getting two good quality Asian style twin sized headboards and a dresser at a bargain price. I am using them side by side for my Queen sized bed, and it's working well. If the headboard design is relatively plain so that doubling it doesn't look chopped up and odd, this is a way to get a larger bed "headboarded" more cheaply, since secon handtwin sets are often less expensive (and easier to move!)

I agree that the head of your bed is important; the verdict's still out on the head of your bead.

AT editors need to put down the pipe. I'm losing faith, people. Don't leech faith for an otherwise great website.

I love what Leah did very clever.

I am really liking these- simple I would assume somewhat easy to make but the wallcovering is so gorgeous-

Then there is this beauty, the green fabric with all white bed and black and white accessories.
