Three-Quarter Bed

I've had this bed to paint for a client for quite awhile now.  Lack of time has kept me from working on it.  Besides that I wasn't sure how I wanted to complete it - I wasn't "feeling" any of my ideas, but then it came to me...

Here is how the bed looked upon delivery:

Here is a picture after lots of sanding and primer:

And here she is after a couple coats of paint and wipe-on poly:

The color is a bit deceiving in this photo - the inside design is painted a very light gray (double-click photo to enlarge).

I love how it turned out and think this bed could be the start to an absolutely gorgeous guest bedroom! I looked online and found a source for 3/4 mattresses.  And I think this wonderful bedding offered by Full Bloom Cottage would complete the look:
