I stayed at the Westin New York Times Square on Wed. night and I was really impressed with the bed and bedding!  It was super comfy. I especially liked their down pillows.  It turns out you can buy the whole bed and bedding on their site: Westin At Home.

I don't know about you, but I love bamboo!  I love the look of the wood and I love it as a fabric (aka "rayon from bamboo"), so wouldn't it be fun to have an all bamboo bed?

Here's a platform bed from Crate & Barrel that's made with solid bamboo, 'Bento Bed', $1599 for a queen.

Company Store has some great bamboo/cotton sheets.  They are 300 thread count and sold open stock.  A queen set adds up to $127.

This blanket is 100% bamboo, Bamboo Dreams Woven Blanket, a queen is $175.

I just ran across this fabulous bed at Garnet Hill inspired by old iron gates.  It comes in six different finishes: antique black, dark brass, distressed red, gunmetal, rust and textured white.  You can buy just the headboard or the set.  The prices are from $448 - 998.

I have a soft spot for antique beds since I grew up in an antique crazed family. High quality antiques often cost a fortune, but you can still get the look from a new piece.  Cuddledown of Maine has some nice antique-looking beds.

This Acorn Bed is very well made with solid maple wood and mortise and tenon construction. It may not be an antique today, but it's built to be one in the future.

A queen size bed is $3,399. They're made in the USA and in stock!

I know many people prefer more modern looks these days, but if you're lucky enough to have a second home like a beach cottage or rural getaway I think it's great to have a different look; and often a rustic feel mixed with antiques looks great and makes the space feel like the retreat that it's meant to be...

Here's an interesting find...

Hollandia Executive Bed, an adjustable bed with built-in storage and pop-up Sony tv.

Hollandia only has 4 locations in the US: King of Prussia and Philadelphia, PA; Short Hills, NJ; and West Palm Beach, FL.

The latest New York Magazine Shop-A-Matic features furniture and home decor items at every price. What a fun way to browse for cool stuff.

Seriously, how great is this - a cute owl pillow for only $25! (Hoot pillow by CB2)

 

Or a $199 accent chair from Brocade Home. (Pattern Bent Wood Chair)

Or a reasonably priced bed like this dark wood platform bed for $799. (Jett platform bed by Z Gallerie)

 

Wow, look at this beautiful leather bed by Crate & Barrel (Archer Leather Bed, $1,899 - $2,099). It looks like a nice leather couch turned into a bed.  I love chocolate brown leather...
