iron beds
can often look
too shabby chic




i have one.
my friend has one.
my sister has one.



and we all
agree that there
is a fine line when
it comes to iron beds.



it can make a
room look like
a sanitarium.




eureka!



a good example
of an iron bed used in a
more contemporary context



not too shabby
and not too slick




just right.




it's all about
warm earth tones

Earth tones. I agree. As long as grey counts. Grey and sage thrill me to know end.
