Hello, I'm Evelyn. I'm a self-proclaimed crafty pants, a Type A designer, a blog junkie, a nerdy gamer girl, a relentless movie quoter, a globetrotter, a foodie to the max (with a soft spot for taco trucks) and a teller of tales. If you were to ask my hubsy about me, he would tell you I like beer, bacon and cigars. Thanks for visiting! xo, Ev

Like this one, my bed has those 4 horizontal slats across the top of the bed. All I do is stare at the center two. I'm not sure I want them there. They sort of bug me. I catch myself staring at them when I'm trying to fall asleep. I dream of ways to fix that sitch because it's weird to obsess over 2 silly slats. Options? Oh yes.
1. I could remove them entirely and have only the 4 outside slats (PS our ceiling vaults this same way):
{House Beautiful}
2. I could turn it into a very tall 4 poster bed:
{Paula Deen Savannah Poster Bed}
3. I could add curtains:
{Pottery Barn}
4. I could add an actual canopy like this draped one:
{Bombay Co.}
5. Or a tailored canopy like this one:
{Martha Stewart}
Which look do you like the best? I'm leaning toward either removing the 2 middle slats or adding simple tie-on curtains. There's something very cozy when I think of cuddling up behind drawn bed curtains as the weather gets colder. If they tie on, it would be very easy to clean them, too. Hmm...decisions, decisions.
