I ordered my son's bed (a Wesley Allen) from them a few years ago and it's both well-made and attractive. The service and delivery were good, and having the bed customized to allow space for a trundle was not a problem at all. I do wish that I had asked for sample finishes to be sent prior to ordering, because the black iron finish that I ordered had a lot of silver in it and I prefer warmer tones. Also, it was a standard powder coat finish and very evenly applied, so my one regret is that the bed doesn't really look like a banged up, old antique, but most people would probably prefer that! With that being said, I think their real antique beds are a bit expensive, and since I wanted an antique iron bed for my daughter, I ended up ordering hers from Loading Dock Antiques, which IMO has antique beds more reasonably priced than either AIB or Cat House. Plus, it's a Mom and Pop type shop and they did a wonderful job refinishing the bed in a distressed, chippy finish and sending me emails and photos during the process. I can see reselling the Wesley Allen if my son doesn't want to keep it after he leaves the nest, but my daughter's bed will definitely be staying or passed down. I just ordered another iron bed (my third in two years!) for my guest room and again wanted an antique rather than a reproduction. However, since it's hard to find an antique daybed in a true twin size that works with a trundle, I ordered the iron and brass daybed from Charles P. Rogers, in the antique iron finish. A bit more expensive, but they use solid forged iron, pure brass, hand poured castings and hand applied finishes. I'm hoping the end result is a new bed that looks like and has the quality of an antique. We'll see in a month or so after it's delivered. So, that's my unsolicited review for 3 different iron bed companies! Have fun choosing one for your daughter - I just love iron beds for little girls (and big girls, but I'm stuck with my husband's choice of Mission oak).

Very unique. I've never seen a rug like that anywhere, but I did find some with a similar feel by Googling "black white tribal wool rug". Something about this design suggests Australia to me (couldn't tell you why), though indeed several rugs from Australian websites came up on that search, for what it's worth. Also saw things on Overstock, Houzz and Rugsville that had a vague resemblance.

Haha, Louise, ya that’s why I hung that there! Only kidding. I literally have no other art that works, and I try to limit my homesense to a couple of things in each room. I’ll be searching there for something blue for the table.I definitely want the coastal look though, so, per usual, you guys have helped! I’m going to tie the cord up, put the darker mattes in those frames, try them over the bed, (although husband will have a heart attack - he spent so much time getting them straight and now there are nice holes in the wall) and if the map will cover those holes then great. If not, map and paddle go to the guest room. I will start painting like crazy and get something that works to replace the oysters. Too bad there’s nothing that looks coastal but works with a Tiffany lamp! Cheers!

Charleychau.com has a velour bolster bed with the cut out front my pup needs that is adorable. They do ship to the states but they warn it's expensive. Looking at the Ikea one Kswl posted, you could glue gun some lightly padded velour (or other fabric) panels to much the same effect, no? I actually think the totally lowered front makes it easier for the pups to get into, anyway. DH told me he thought I was wrong that the padding the pup rug came in should be thicker, so I put it back in. I happened to have an extra gel pad, so I layered that under the rug and pressing down, it seems cushy and pup climbs right in.
