Could your cabin use an extra bed or two? It seems a fact of
mountain living, especially when it comes to vacation homes, the more beds, the
better the vacation. Family reunions, ski holidays, summer camp...large groups
getting together to share the fun.
Daybeds are just what they sound like. By night they serve as a
comfortable twin size bed, but by day they double as sofa-style seating. They
are a practical way to tuck a bed into living rooms, sun rooms, dens, libraries
and even wider hallways.
Pinecone finials...perfect for a cabin. This bed is from
Farmhouse.
Another Farmhouse bed above.
Millcreek makes this charming painted and carved daybed. Many
daybeds can be ordered with an optional trundle which can be pulled out at
bedtime to sleep an extra person.
Another Millcreek charmer, above.
This handsome daybed is from Restoration Hardware. I love the
rustic texture of wicker in mountain houses.
Another wicker daybed from David Francis.
A canoe paddle themed daybed from Seabrook .
Why not do an antique? Above an old Stickley daybed.
And a charming bent willow daybed from Willows, below.
Finally, my all-time favorite daybed, the Jolliette from
Woodland.
