And yes, realistically, it's for guests so whimsical it is!

Not a permanent resident's place to be, so you can make it as whimsical as you like. There was a suggestion earlier and I may have read it wrong but you could get a picture or two to make the theme work. Since I'm probably going to be staying in that room at least once (just putting it out there :-) !) , I'm just going to say "I like it!".Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16038740547034882445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-89619262353115179252012-03-01T18:52:11.882-06:002012-03-01T18:52:11.882-06:00Keep it the way it is...fits the room perfectly.

Don'...You asked for opinions, so here is mine. Don't remove the images. However, I think the piece would be more in keeping with the room if you took Tonya's suggestion and used fabric and starch to cover over the images in the insets. In my mind's eye I see a pale gingham check or even a tiny stripe, but of course after the bedspread and curtains make their appearance you would be better able to make that choice. As others have said however, it's more important what you want than what anyone else thinks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-87014807941654453472012-02-29T18:01:42.062-06:002012-02-29T18:01:42.062-06:00First of all, I love that headboard!
