Beautiful Inspirations, Beautiful Bed

When someone falls in love with something (either furniture, decor or even an entire room in a magazine) and inspiration to DIY hits - they're inspiring. Sometimes I can't afford the things I want but when I can re-create it with my own two hands (or our four hands), it's so rewarding. Money saved.  Pride in work.  This was the case with Kari from Beautiful Inspirations and her husband.  This is the Colette bed from Crate and Barrel.  Price tag $1799.

Thank you Kari for sharing your hard work. Good luck with the nail head trim but for now...the bed even at 99% is gorgeous and I am in love and inspired. Super job!
