This is the iron double bed I bought this past summer. I can just see it in someones sun room.
I purchased two beautiful quilts this summer and this is the second one. It is about 80 years old and is so beautiful. The picture does not do it justice. The first quilt I put on one of my beds because I was having a Open House and it sold the first day. Oh! I really wanted it for myself too.
One nice feature about a double day bed it that you do not have to remove the pillows to take a little nap.
There are so many tiny stitches and this quilt feels so nice to the touch.
This iron bed is unique in that booth ends are the same height. It is painted a light grey and has a few chippies. The swags are so elegant, I wanted to keep it also but I do not have room for it in my house. I just love the colors in this quilt and think it looks so nice with the bed. I hope you all have a good evening.

Oh your daybed is so pretty. I love the ironwork on this.
The quilt is a beauty too. Such lovely colors...I don't think you will have this one very long either, or the bed>
Hugs,

Beautiful! The quilt is so cheerful!
Love the size of the bed. I agree...the colors are amazing.

Hi Sandi,
I love your elegant day bed and the quilt is beautiful. It looks brand new! I'm glad to see your back blogging...I too took a rest for awhile in October. Yvonne
Hi Sandi! The bed and quilt are both amazing! Soooo beautiful! I've never seen a double daybed before...I like the nap idea :)

Hi, Sandi! I love that day bed. I wish I had an extra bedroom to put one in. By the way, "the quilt" is doing just fine and when I get home you can come visit it. After I clean the house, though. I'm sure it's going to be a mess from my being gone for so long!!!
Love it, love it, what a sweet pastel quilt...I also love your header, that flower frog is amazing, have never seen one like it before and old books are just my fave!!!

Very pretty! Don't think I have ever seen a double daybed either.
thanks for stopping by the farm yesterday!
and wanted to let you know that picture was when I was pregnant with baby #5.....I am not now :)
at least, not that I know of......
Hi Sandi, glad to see you jumped in again! The bed is so inviting and that quilt looks like hundreds of little cups of fruit sorbet. Just beautiful! Glad you're back!

I have never heard of or seen a double day bed. It is stunning with the quilt... I just bust sometimes trying to figure out ways to cram stuff in my house... then I realize it just won't fit.
Thank you for your sweet comment.
I am glad you're back cause you were missed.

Cast iron beds are my favorite - that one is a beauty. Sue
Hi Sandi, I just loved Debra's comment "little cups of fruit sorbet". Such a great description!
The bed is beautiful. I've got an old daybed with trundle out in a chiken coop. It's not ornate but very cute. It's very narrow, smaller than a twin size mattress and it weighs a million pounds! I wish I had room for it somewhere in the house. I'd have to get custom foam or mattress for it. Do you every find beds that are such weird sizes?
Hugs,
Dawn
Daybeds are so convenient. They don't take up a lot of room and yet are there for you when needed. I just sold mine...and I enjoyed owning it for years. Yours is so cute!
That is so beautiful, the whole room is. I am DYING for that exposed brick on the wall! Gorgeous!

Welcome back, you have been missed! LOVE the quilt!! Hugs, Janna

love YOU,
