Upholstered Bed at ETC Company, Princeton

So I've been looking all over this state for an interesting bed set- meaning headboard/footboard combo. You'd think this would be a relatively easy task, since we spend over a quarter of our days (if we're lucky) in bed, therefore the furniture item is just as important as the couch in our living room.*

*Unless your couch IS your bed. That's sad. Hopefully it's a temporary situation.

Anyway, I found a very great selection of beds at ETC Company in Princeton (25 Palmer Square East), particularly the Mirabelle Leather Bed, pictured at left. I especially like this piece, since it adds an antique accent to a room that normally doesn't include antique furnishings. Made of maple and cherry woods, the leather upholstery really establishes the bed as an important piece of furniture. Keep it simple with plain bed linens.
