I love mixing the modern and vintage, frilly and streamlined. I say put whatever strikes your fancy on the bed. If you like it and you mix it with everything else you like, it'll work. It's an extension of you and to pretend with the "right" stuff won't feel...right.<br /><br />Love the bed!

Luckily for you I'm willing to forge ahead. Vintage, Art Deco and retro always rock the bedroom more than modern. Because who wants a robot in their bedroom?

I always think a pop of color is important, and why not embrace the bed by making it a focal point? Definitly paint it. It will bring the whole room together. Maybe even reattach the posts.
