Heavy Metal

Ok, so I figured out what I want to do about my bed! I am quite particular so after much searching, I found this amazing iron bed frame, called Hudson by Benecia Foundry & Iron Works, sold by St. Helena Home. As far as finishes, I'm going with Dark Brass, because I think the brownish color will compliment my walnut colored furniture better than something stark like white, black, or grey. What's really cool is that all of these beds are made by hand from a family owned foundry in North Carolina, and I read that the bed frame itself is made from recycled railroad tracks! That makes each one unique, and finely crafted. I'm really excited, so I'm going to start saving now! As far as bed sheets go, I want to keep my aqua color for the fitted sheet, but I'm going to go with grays to compliment it, so I guess we'll see how it all comes together!

Framed, I Tell You

Also, I wanted to share these amazing drawings that I found at an estate sale recently of two soldiers. It wasn't until it was pointed out to me that I even realized these two men were on opposing armies. I love the colors, especially the red frames. I've got to find a cool place to hang these guys up! Thinking perhaps they should be facing away from each other though? ;)
