Incorporating a Window into a Headboard

I needed to incorporate this window 

into some sort of headboard for the bed.  

I hated the way a regular headboard blocked the window. 

We like to open and close it without getting out of bed.

I found these two side panel doors in a catalog.  

They were the perfect size. 

I had been looking for vintage doors 

for several years.....to no avail.  

I loved the distressed look and the wrought iron element

The wallpaper is a soft but intricate pattern 

that somewhat mimics the bedding.  

The rest of the room is cream, 

including the ceiling so the entire focus is on this wall.

I painted all of the molding and doors in the room the soft blue green color taken from the wallpaper and bedding.

My Dad made the candle stand for me many years ago. 

I had seen it in a magazine and couldn't afford it....

so he made me one. 

He is a man of many talents 

and can still run rings around me at 82.

 Here he is with my sons....Love You Dad

 

I pulled in other wrought iron elements.  

This piece was found at a yard sale about 5 years ago.  

It had been waiting for just the right home.

The room is serene and cozy....

I'm quite happy with how it turned out.
