We updated a few things in our master bedroom a little bit ago, and have been meaning to blog about our canopy bed makeover.
After searching store after store, I came across the Laurel Canopy Bed from Overstock! I was ecstatic, because it was way super less than any others- by a long shot, and it got great reviews. Not thrilled with the headboard, I ordered it with some "tweaking" plans in mind.
The bed arrived (free shipping) and the assembly was really easy! Sam and I put it together quickly... I'd say in 30-40 minutes.
Knowing that the headboard was a tan microfiber when purchasing, I bought some white Dwell geometric upholstery fabric from JoAnn's to recover it with.
The headboard unscrews from the frame my friends! I simply wrapped the new fabric over the original fabric, stretched and stapled in on tight, and then screwed it back on to the frame. So simple- and such a quick transformation.
I absolutely love that I can change the fabric out any time! All you need is a power drill and staple gun.
I was able to achieve the look I wanted, and saved hundreds of dollars! I'd buy this bed again in a heartbeat! And no, this is not a paid review :0

I've also dream't of a white bed for quite a while now. They're so pretty, aren't they? My sister has always had one, and if she has four boys and manages to keep it clean, I should be able to do the same, right? Turns out, it hasn't been near as hard as I thought it would be to keep it clean.
I was told that whites are dyed white, so to keep the color, wash them in cold water. It seems to work :)
I saw this fun fabric at Hobby Lobby the other day- how cute would this be for the headboard in a girl's room? I love how bright and cheerful it is + I'm really into this green right now.
Sam built these nightstands (above) and gave them to me our first married Christmas. I loved them then, and I still love them now. Their french-country style and distressed finish give warmth and charm to the room. I love mixing classic pieces with modern elements. And wood tones + white = yummy!
