While I will say that the furniture selections and color palette are quite pretty, the oversized headboard makes this look like a bedding display in a furniture store. It also distracts from what should be the focal pointof the room - the view.

For one, based on that photo, it doesn't look like there are any building anywhere near there, so why the need for such privacy? And, if we lived in a place that had such great open views, we would certainly WANT to see them from bed, not orient the view away from there.<br />Having said that, the funny thing is that the furnishings and color scheme of the space look VERY similar to the style of design work that we do...Except that our projects are in the Hamptons, not in a modern high-rise apartment!Jennifer and Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16593508238445720778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296235624601130259.post-36748386146424768212010-08-18T00:07:55.791-05:002010-08-18T00:07:55.791-05:00definitely love it!definitely love it!lenihttp://leni.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296235624601130259.post-6227151584829092082010-08-17T23:31:07.000-05:002010-08-17T23:31:07.000-05:00I LOVE it and think it's such a great solution...I LOVE it and think it's such a great solution to this open space.

Seeing how there are such large windows and nothing to enclose you from view when in bed, this headboard acts as somewhat of shield from sight. But what about the use of beautiful window treatments not to block out the light, but merely add privacy to an intimate room such as a bedroom. I came across your post this afternoon while browsing interior design blogs and the topic of window treatment selection was very interesting to me. It is true that you must dress your windows appropriately to bring out their true beauty.
