It's exactly the size and shape I wanted for a project I'm working on, so now I just have to scrape off 50 layers of paint, re-upholster and hey presto!
I'll try and be quick so I can show you the finished pictures soon!
Thank you for your helpful comments and words of advice about facebook - I am told I must go there but feel more like I am being dragged! I'll definitely follow your advice on privacy, in fact I'll probably just use it for the blog. In fact I think I need a few readers on fb to get this page networked - if anyone has the patience to click and build up my numbers I'd be vey grateful.
Merci !

It is quite beautiful! I have been looking and looking for a similar one but Chicago doesn't have many French antiques!
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to see what you are up to!

In regards to Facebook just say no !! I joined to stay in touch with my kids. Can you say to much information? Because thats what I got not so much about them but there friends and eventually my friends. And then one of my daughters blocked me when she moved out and was up to no good, yes blocked me that was a shocker and a little painful I might add. If you must do it keep your friends close and you enemies closer and everyone else, again I will say, just say NO!!!
ReplyDeleteNow that is a beautiful bed...the essence of France....
ReplyDeleteGreat headboards!

Love the headboards, can't wait to see them finished. About facebook, I would think twice about it. I find it very "un-elegant" I just made up the word. I see it more for teenagers or people just gossiping with nothing else to do. Blogging I find it elegant, more mature and for businesses that want to advertise. Can you tell I don't like facebook. Also there's a lot of people in trouble because of it, keep seeing it on the news. Anyway it's just my humble opinion.
ReplyDeleteIdo.
Lovely shapes to bring back to health:)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I myself do not like facebook I would rather just blog.Best of luck~Cheers Kim
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful piece. Can't wait to see what all you do with it.
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful day today.
Lovely bed... I've discovered you through the equally lovely Bonjour Romance - we can network without fb!
ReplyDeletequite a find!! have fun with the restoration/upcycle!
ReplyDeleteIt is stunning. I can't wait to see it all done. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteFantastic bed!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful lines in that bed - it will be gorgeous when you're finished with it.

ReplyDeleteJust love the bed. Can I go shopping with you? I just know it is going to look wonderful! Can't wait. I am just getting ready to post two "before and afters".

Oh I want it; I've been looking for one of these myself! Even "dans son jus" il est magnifique! I suppose however that it is only 140 cm large? That's the problem with French beds. looking forward to seeing the "after" shots! xxIris
ReplyDeleteHow curvaceous and ladylike! I love the head and footboards. It reminds me of my own vintage set - dark wood with painted panels of roses. I love it.
ReplyDeleteLove the head/foot boards of the bed. These are classic lines that never go out of style.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Ido's comments on facebook, and love the phrase 'un-elegant'. So very true.
That is beautiful - I can't wait to see what you do with it! xxoo :)
ReplyDeletewhat a magnificent bed - cannot wait to see the update. I recently deleted my facebook account and so did my husband - we had had enough of reading about people having cups of tea and/or the flu!! and what you read about your teens and moreso their friends is even worse. I say just keep the lines of communication open with your real friends and family and as for the rest you dont really need to know !! xo
ReplyDeleteI would die for a bed like that!! not that I'd need it then, but you know what I mean. Looking forward to seeing it all finished. RE facebook, my kids have been telling me to join but I don't see the point. They live on it 24/7 and I certainly don't need that. The one good thing about it is, if you wanted to find someone you have lost contact with.. but it's definately not for me. take care, maryann
ReplyDeleteWow, they are beauts! I can't wait to see what they look like! Keep us informed!

So lucky to have brocantes where you can get such lovely treasures. I really like the curved footboard. Fiona
ReplyDeleteLovely bed. Can't wait to see the finished product.
ReplyDeleteBe still my heart!! What great bones & I know it will be fabulous when you finish it. Is this the bed you were looking for for your guest house under the pointed windows? Remember, just leave the windows bare & play up the bed using your wonderful antique linens. Hope you find the long bedside tables in the right French blue or pale green. How dreamy it will be!
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon,
ReplyDeleteI didn't get to read all the comments people made about facebook, so forgive me if this is redundant. But I have a fan page for my blog (Gg - Notes on the Journey fan page), which I keep separate from my personal facebook page, for closer family and friends, or even for bloggers who become friends. I didn't know if you knew that was a possibility. I like it alot.
Fondly,
Glenda
OOOO, I'm loving that bed! Can't wait to see yours. I'm gathering you've also had trouble making yourself "do" the FB thing. I have the same aversion to it. I don't really "get" it. I do have a FB page for my blog. It does let people who go to FB and who have "friended" my blog, know when I do a new post. I also have a FB page for friends. I never go to either page!! laurie
ReplyDeleteOh I absolutely love that bed and would love to get into a project like that. You could make it so original and beautiful. !! Can't wait to see the finished product.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I've managed to understand and been told about Facebook - their 'business' page is quite different to a personal one. Different functions. I'm not quite sure how the business one works though. I've had friends set them up, but then can't do what they want on them like they can their personal. Not sure if that helps. Good luck! I've like it though:)
Great bed frame and can't wait to see it finished although I don't envy you all that scraping.
ReplyDeletefabulous find! love the shape....
ReplyDeletelucky you!!
joan
What a gorgeous bed and wonderful find!
ReplyDeleteI am still kicking myself for not buying two twin beds, similar to yours, at an auction in Vermont for $50...for the pair! Still have sweet dreams of what I would have done with those. I can't wait to see your finished product.
ReplyDeleteOh to think that you just stumbled upon this at a brocante. You do live in the most delightful world. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove the bed and will be eager to see what you do.
