The great bed hunt

As you know I am on the hunt for the perfect bed to accompany my gorgeous linens. Well, I know I want a 4 poster bed my thoughts are that it will look something like this only in my colors and not this overwhelming orange. This is just a good example of what I want and what I plan to do with it. There are some really crazy beds out there which are replicas of real beds used by Indian Royalty. I am avoiding these beds like the plague and will probably just stick with a nice solidly built but rather plain 4 poster. Here are a few of examples of what royalty slept on. Yechh!
