Oh my, I had never heard of this manufacturer
Wesley Allen until we were looking for a new
iron bed.
They have the prettiest selections, and I do believe we have narrowed it down.
Well there is no narrowing down,
we both agreed on this bed
YAY!
There is something timeless and Old World to me about this bed, and I do think it will be a perfect fit for us.
Now bedding, curtains, and oh let's not forget furniture, end table, and dressers. That I do believe is the hard part.
I was almost thinking of painting our current furniture. I'm scared. because at least I have the option to sell it now...however if I paint it, and I don't like it, then I don't think that is a good sell.
decisions, decisions. All good.....
So far these are things I really like:
Bedding from West Elm
draperies from Pottery Barn
What do you think?

and I really loved these curtains...
Right now I am 100 percent sure on the bed, the rest, I am not so sure on.
Of course I love your suggestions, and are open to all of them...
Thank you.
In the meantime, don't forget this lovely French runner that can be yours

Ok, I love the bed! And your choices thus far. The first set of curtains are gorgeous!
Love the bed, the comforter and the top curtains. The 2nd curtains are pretty, too and would look good with a white matelasse coverlet, whereas the first curtains would look good with a cover that's blue or grey. The accent color could be the salmon color in the pattern. I'm sure it's going to look great whatever you choose!
Hi Debbie! Love your bed choice! The PB drapes are really nice; I'm really liking the second one.
How fun to be redoing your bedroom just in time for spring. Love the bed and either of the curtain fabrics. Look forward to seeing your finished room.
Gorgeous bed! I love it! And I would probably choose the first set of drapes/curtains. I love the shading and I think it would offer you more options than the 2nd set. LOVE the bedding...I can't wait to see it! xxoo Diana
The bed is about eight kinds of awesome. PB drapes are all gorgeous. Have fun with this!
That bed is gorgeous! And that white bedding is to die for! Just don't let your hubby eat ice cream and brownies in bed like I did with mine:)
I really like the 2nd set of curtains. I know, whatever you do, it will be amazing!
What a pretty bed! You made a wonderful choice!
Whatever you choose to go with it will be great, I'm sure!! You're a natural! :)
Oh my goodness, I love all your choices....so pretty! The bed is gorgeous! I love the curtains. Can't wait to see what you do. XOXO ~Liz

Debbie, I love that bed and it will be perfect for your home. Great bedding and drapes. Have fun finding all the rest.
The bedding is gorgeous. Very romantic looking. And I love that bed also. Good choice!
I love the bed, of course I would have to give it a coat of white LOL! The blue curtains are fabulous, so retro...Can't wait to see what you pick!

I love Iron furnature & that bed frame is awesome!! The bedding is gorgeous, but I'm personally afraid of drapes with 'prints' but that's a long story and just me. :-)
I know you will put it all together fabulously like you do with every room you decorate or redecorate! I swear you Will be a famous decorater someday very soon!! You're so creative and good at putting the best 'pieces' and looks to go!
Sorry I haven't visited for a while. I've been sick & sure have missed visiting you and everyone!
Have a Beautiful week, Debbie!!!
Hugs,
Coreen xoxo
Love the bed, but that first set of curtains is what really made me "ooh and ahh". Beautiful blue pattern!
The bed is truly lovely.
So pretty! The bed & bedding are just gorgeous! I think I like the first curtains best. Can't wait to see it all in place.
I love the bed and the bedding. I'm not soo much into floral decor, so I won't weigh in on the drapes. Have fun!
Gorgeous bed Debbie! Perfect choice! And I can totally get an idea of the direction you are heading in with the room and it is going to be fabulous. Somehow I missed the giveaway so I'm off to enter now! :-)
Vanessa
Of course I love the bedding Debbie, looks alot like mine! I like the 2nd set of curtains and oh my, the bed is gorgeous!
Rondell
Good choices! I like the 1st curtains better.... :D
Gorgeous bed and I love the curtains in the first pic!
Thanks for visiting my blog. I am your newest follower as well. I love your bed choice. The white bedding is gorgeous, too!
I think when I am ready to redecorate my house I am calling you first! I love your ideas and the way you envision the end result.
That bed is gorgeous! I love the white bedding with the first set of curtains. I know you will make it so beautiful. I totally see where you would be at a loss if you paint the furniture and hate it. Then you wouldn't be able to sell it. You may want to go thrifting and see what pieces you could find reasonably and then decide if you want to paint or not!
What a great choice on the bed, Debbie., I love it! I think it's perfect....Christine
Beautiful bed! It does look old world... very nice choice!
FABBY
You're on a roll Debbie! Decision making is the hardest part but you have made some great choices.
Enjoy your day,
Gail
I had a bed like that for years. My friends called it my 'brothel bed'. I gave it to my sister about 8 years ago...but I go over and gaze at it now and then.
Love the bed and the bedding! LOVE!
Love your choice of bed and both curtains are beautiful...the first more colorful and possibly more options for changing pillows, etc, on your bed in the future. I'm sure your choice will be perfect, can't wait to see what you do next!
The bed is just gorgeous...very Old World and both sets of drapes would look wonderful!
XO,
Jane
Beautiful choice...I love it!
Lovely bed! I bought a lovely cast iron bed for my guest room last year for $150 at a local junk store! It has the best chippy white finish! My bed is cast-iron, too, all twilighty gothic! Check it out:

That bed is gorgeous!! I've been eyeing that same bedding from West Elm. Love it! Can't wait to see what all you pick out and the finished room!
I heart the bed....and all of the other goodies you might put in the room. Beautiful.
Can't see the bed and not sure why??? the curtains I love both but if I had to make a choice I would pick the first one can't wait to see the finish bedroom i sure that it will be outstanding
~~Pattie~~

The bed is fabulous Debbie and the comforter looks gorgeous too!! I think they will be fantastic paired together!! The curtains I think I would be leaning towards the top ones- I like a bit more color- but either one is pretty! Can't wait to see your room all finished! :)
Wow that is a gorgeous bed! Love the choices and can't wait to see what you choose!
hugs, Linda
LOOOOOOOOOVE that bed, and the bedding, yummy and I love both curtains(although I favor the first set most). Can't wait to see what you do, and I agree that you are smart about just selling current set as is!
I LLOVE the bed, the comforter & the curtains with the yellow in them. It's so pretty!
I can't wait to see how the bedroom looks when finished. Bet you never thought so many people would see your bedroom..lol..I really love the colors on the first set of drapes.
The iron bed is beautiful, Debbie! Good choice. I really like both sets of drapes, but I am partial to the first ones that have what looks like a soft blue/gray background. Those are beautiful. Happy decision-making & shopping!
CAS
Oh, that bed is drop dead gorgeous! I like both of the drapes, maybe the second one best, what color are your walls going to be? I am going to have to go back and look at your old furniture now. I know what you mean about painting it and then trying to sell it though. This is so fun to redo your bedroom, cannot wait to see more! :)
Hi lovely lady, love the bed you have choices and the white Beding is Beautiful !! I also like the
2th curtains for your bedroom. Good luck sweet lady.
xxoo
Diane
Love, love, love the bed--it's gorgeous. What fun you can have now dressing that beautiful piece. Have fun! Peggy
I noticed that your comments would be either above mine or just above and I loved the font your name was in, so here I am. And I love your blog! I'm now your newest follower :) have a blessed day!
Loving the iron bed, the white comforter and blue floral window treatments. Will give the room a very calming and serene feel. Can't wait to see the finished room. What color on the walls??
Marianne :)
Hey Debbie, love your bed choice! Good pick! I have a sample of that curtain fabric with the yellow..it's very nice!
