I found this Broyhill British Empire bed on craigslist TWICE in my area (weird, right?) I missed the first one and negotiated for a while one the second one. It's good I didn't see the bed BEFORE I negotiated or I would probably just have paid the full asking price!
Footboard has lovely details |
Headboard - sigh! |
Pineapples - one of the things that totally convinced me no other bed would do |
Looking good beside it my black and white french chest (freebie) also my little flag step stool made my Dad, painted by Mom I need it to get IN the bed because it's so tall, we may be shopping for a low profile box springs in the near future |
Beautiful finials |
Sturdy feet |
My 'practical' bed linens and the black bedside french chest |
I call this my NOT project because I didn't have to work on the bed except for finding it and negotiating the price. The work was getting it home and of course my hero SuperDave did that for me. I helped with the assembly and it was quick and easy.
So what do you think? Ready for the price? I paid $300 for this amazing solid wood carved four poster! I am VERY happy with my latest craigslist purchase.
Much Love & Laughter,
Laura

what a beautiful and stately bed- great details!
That is just beautiful, I can't believe you got it for that price. No, it doesn't need a single thing, perfect as it is. Lucky you!
Could you hear my gasp when I read the price you paid? What a steal on that lovely bed! ~ Maureen
Now that was a major score!!!
Wow! You definitely DID get it for a steal! Looks great!
