Twinsies!

I love twin beds...in a guest room...or in a small child's room. If you are over five feet tall, it's just not comfortable to sleep in a twin bed for more than a few nights. However, if you are trying to maximize sleeping space (for people that might not want to sleep in the same bed), then this is the perfect choice for your guest room. The symmetry of the two beds facilitates some very dramatic designs. I especially love the fabric canopies and exquisite headboards in today's inspiration! 

Not so headBORING!

I learned the hard way, when decorating my bedroom in Hilton Head, to always start with the headboard. I had originally picked out everything else and then couldn't find a headboard that looked good. The end result was that I fell in love with a headboard that didn't go with anything and had to completely start over (thank god I kept receipts!) It was significantly easier to choose the other furniture and accessories once the headboard--or the centerpiece of the room--had been settled. I chose a distressed wooden headboard, but I'm also really into fabric covered ones right now. These are some of my favorite variations on fabric headboards. 

1. Try a unique shape!

2. Can you say tufting?

3. Make your own design. 

4. A great place for pattern.

5. Nail heads anyone? 

6. It's all in the details, think about piping.
