Bedroom Island
By DIY Maven
Yup. It's a bedroom in the middle of a pool. Why? Who knows. If that doesn't float your boat, how about Piscine Castiglione's concept swimming pool bed? » READ MORE
How-To Build a Headboard: Watch and See How a Professional Does It
By ModHomeEcTeacher
Headboards have swamped the design blogs for the past 6 months or so. Some are o.k., some are good and some are really professionally done. These two tutorials are produced by a company from which I've purchased patterns. They'are a little bit on the frumpy side, but the construction instructions are easy to understand and, if you watch and learn, you'll be able to use these techniques forever. You know, teach a man to fish...
Restless nights-searching for a better way to sleep
By David Rowtree
Lying in bed last night I began to think about…everything. Ironically the only time I seem to be able to arrange thoughts in my head is when I should be dispersing them, throwing them into high wind over a barren sandy desert of sleep. It is such an unfortunate conundrum for someone who loves sleep, could sleep all through the day without a care in the world but as soon as head hits pillow it’s…think, think, think.

Cat Overload from Cute Overload
By beccajo
What's with the creepy-ness, IKEA?
Just making my daily rounds on the 'net, and what do I find? A cat on a matching bed.

I do not want to see the animal that matches this one, however.
Time to re-think round beds?
By DIY Maven
When we hear round and bed in the same sentence, we might think cheese. But when considering Spacify’s offerings of the circular love nest, dairy is the last thing to come to mind. Yes, they’re expensive; however, the frames themselves are quite simple, which means with a little bendy MDF they’re DIY-able. What about the round mattress part? No worries there. Abe Feller’s Fine Mattresses sell round mattresses starting at 1300 bucks, whic » READ MORE
3 kids, 2 bedrooms- WWYD?
By badbadivy
I bought the kids a loft bed similar to the one in the pic last Saturday (with my parents' help- my wallet and I thank them profusely) and the drama in my house has skyrocketed because of it. So, dear Curbly readers, I am asking your help.
I have 2 sons, one who is almost 13 and another who is 3. I also have a daughter who is 6. I live in a 3 bedroom home, so 2 kids are going to have to share a bedroom. I have been having the boys share a room » READ MORE

King-Sized Lovin'
By DIY MavenThought the heart-shaped bed was reserved for cheesy hotels and 1960's romantic comedies? Think again. Playhouse USA offers several styles of heart-shaped, king-sized beds, one with a mirrored headboard and (dare I say?) a mirrored canopy.
These love cushions measure approximately 7' by 7'. And if you don’t like the idea of a gigantic red heart in the center of your boudoir, Playhouse USA has other bedding colors to choose from.

Inexpensive Low beds
By alttext
Why is it that all the beds I see that are low to the ground, modern, and minimalist are $3000? Anyone seen any cheaper ones? How about ideas for crafting a bed like these for a lot less. I really like this bed from Design Within (read Just out of) Reach but would like something a bit lower to the ground. I almost want to just put my mattress on the floor, but think that lacks a certain element of style I am looking for. Any ideas would be apprec » READ MORE
