I have always dreamed of having an alcove bed. It just seems like the most cozy way to spend the night.
In my new bedroom, I may have the space
to push my bed up against a narrow recessed wall
and just see if I can't make my own alcove bed.
Would a window in your little alcove be lovely?
Falling asleep at night gazing at the stars and then
waking up watching the fluttering of the birch leaves
in the wind sounds like heaven.
Having all your books within an arms reach
would be lovely too.
Would you add color to your alcove?
Lovely shades of mauve and pink but would it be restful?
My bed is a sleigh bed and the shape of it has always seemed cozy to me. And, when I push my bed into my little alcove area, I will have so much more space in the middle of my room. Oh, that sounds so wonderful. I can dance in the morning, do a few stretches or sit in my big comfy chair and look at the beautiful church next door.
This weekend will be a fairly quiet one for me and I'm going to push the furniture around my bedroom yet again and just see how I would like sleeping in an alcove. Will I use curtains around the bed or will I define the space with color? I'm not sure. Where will I put my lamp so that I can read at night before I sleep? How will I make the bed?
What a fun weekend this is going to be!

No such luck, having an alcove in that room. Sounds wonderful, and reminds me of a "bed and breakfast" I visited a few years ago. I am sure that you will have fun planning the new room...cannot wait to see if you end up with colour or with the neutrals.
Tried the alcove idea yesterday after writing this post. It just wasn't quite right. The area needs to be better defined. BUT ... I did move the bed across the room in a new location and now I wake up in the morning (obviously) and look at the church among the trees. In the shallow cove area, I have placed two reading chairs and that's quite cozy actually.
Do any of you change your furniture around like crazy like I do? Especially in my bedroom, waking up in a new area makes me feel like I'm on vacation in a nice little inn.
Well,I couldn't do an alcove bed in my room either but it's an interesting idea to try if you have the area to do it.I would love the alcove with the window so I could look out at the stars at night or wake up to the morning sunlight.
I like to change my furniture around to make the room feel like a fresh new space.I can spend alot of time doing that and it is so much fun! Your bedroom arrangement sounds very cozy and even though the alcove idea didn't work at least you gave it a try.You never know until you try,right? That's the fun of it!
Have a great weekend!
Hugs!
