Canopy Beds

I'm guest blogging over at Simply Seleta today and chatting about canopy beds. I spied this pretty canopy recently at FAO Schwartz:


And this gorgeous canopied bed belongs to one of my all time favorite girls rooms:

    I love canopies over daybeds, especially your Palmer Weiss example and those in Katie Ridder's portfolio. Daybeds keep canopies from reading too "little girl". I love the coordinating canopy fabric and wallpaper--so chic!

    Any idea where I could find the floral mirror in the second photo? I've been looking for one for a few weeks!

    Thanks!

    I recently inherited a 10' half-tester bed and don't have a clue what to do with the canopy. Everything I can find online looks like what my grandmother had on it -- pale pink silk gathered up with the big button in the center. Help! If you come across any visuals can you pass them along?! I would appreciate it immensely!

    Oh man. I have been in LUST over canopy beds lately. But my room is too small, it would be overwhelming. One day, though!

    I was wondering if you would have time to answer a quick painting question, or if you could link me to the answer? I searched in case you had already said something about it but I couldn't find anything.

    I have a side table that is some sor tof laquered bamboo. I'd like to spray paint it white, but I'm worried the paint won't stick. It's way too fiddly to sand properly - lots of ins and outs and swirls. I know you've painted bamboo furniture before - any advice? Obviously you have your own life and might not have time to answer random internet people! :P

    When I was a little girl I always wanted a canopy bed but I never got one. These are so pretty.
