I think you should also look at SW Sea Salt. It, like Palladian Blue, is close to the comforter color. Matching the comforter to the walls would give an overall serene look, which might be something your mom appreciates during this difficult time. Would you be up for laying a rug on top of the carpet? I just can't see it working with the comforter, but maybe others can... Also, do you have room for an overstuffed chair and ottoman (or a chaise) in the room? That would give you mom a way to enjoy the room without being in bed.

I also went back and forth between lace and the JCPenney Crinkled soft white sheers. I love the crinkled white sheers that are rich looking (is what I vote for you to get also but it is your choice), not stark white and they really soften my window linen honey comb blinds. Now my blinds no longer clash with the deep cream wall color due to the white sheers.

Use a try square or speed square or machinist's square and measure each side from all four possible positions. Each facet of the tapered post will then have a diamond on its face. Connect the dots and make the cut. (If you use a guide it will throw your cut off unless you compensate for the taper again by chamfering the edge to match the taper of the post.) OR: make a jig by ripping a length of clear 1" stock so that a piece that's clamped to the post is flat on top. Make a tapered flat-top box that's open on both ends and drop it over a post snuggly. Make the cut or the marks and move it to the next post and so on. Might not be worth the trouble for just four posts. Good luck, M

I’m still not able to find exactly what I need. I either need to find a bracket/hanger that has threads on it to put on the headboard to then slip the end of the frame over or a bracket to attach to the post that accepts hooks so I can buy a kit to convert my bolt on frame to a hook frame. No luck so far :(
