I will explain everything. But let me put this out there: It's not a sex swing.
It begins with an innocent Pinterest search. I was looking for master bedroom ideas and Pinterest came through. If you aren't already a Pinterest subscriber, I would suggest you close this blog post, (I don't mind), and request a Pinterest account. It does take awhile, mine took a week, but it's worth it. Here's the inspiration picture:
This is the image I showed my husband. I told him I wasn't interested in the decor or the bedding, just the canopy. I loved it. I thought it was interesting and easy. I bought the supplies at Ikea and set them aside. I knew once I got the bedroom painted, I would make this happen. My husband wasn't so sure. His exact response was "Huh. That's interesting." The DIY kiss of death. I knew I would have to sneak this one in. Luckily, I don't have a job and he does. I have all day to be sneaky. So that's what I did.
Tada:
My version is a little more my style. It sticks out a third of the way from the wall so it feels substantial but the curtains are a tiny bit sheer. And when I sleep under it, it makes the bed very cozy. I love it! But best of all: My husband told me to say that he was 100% behind this idea all along. Meaning: He likes it! Hurray!
PS- I apologize for the rumpled bedding. One of the cats was very interested in making himself cozy under the canopy.
Linds.

This looks so good Linds. When did you do it? It's really cool!
