So you have the beautiful new four poster bed you always dreamed of. It’s the big six foot one with the fantastic comfy mattress…you just can’t prise you self out in the mornings.
Now you need the finishing touch; four poster drapes, but what is the best way to attach them to the canopy?
We recommend two different techniques.
- If you simply want to run a pelmet all the way around your canopy that doesn’t need to be drawn or closed double sided Velcro is the best bet. It keeps the fabric in position plus you can remove it at will.
- The second way is to have strong metal curtain poles fitted behind the canopy all the way around the bed. This allows drapes and curtains to be drawn shut or tied back. Again the drapes can be removed for laundering or if you want to change the colour way you have chosen. More importantly the view from your sleeping position is that of a neat and tidy solution to a frequently asked question.
Can you do it? Yes we can
All our four poster beds can be supplied with canopy curtain poles. Also we have a large selection of voiles and fabrics in lots of colours you can choose to from to complete your perfect for poster bed.
We are currently compiling information so if you want more details or a swatch of fabric give our office a call on 01777 869669
So, here we are deep in winter. In fact we’ve just passed the deepest point where the night is at its longest and we turn the corner toward spring and summer.
During the Dark ages (whenever they are supposed to be) our Pagan forefathers marked the winter solstice by burning the Yule Log.
These days the Yule Log is usually made from chocolate sponge however back then peasants would set a large log on fire to help keep away the evil spirits as they waited through the longest night for the sun to rise. This marked the sun winning victory over darkness with the days getting longer. Yule Log cinders from the burnt log were thought to protect homes from the evil powers of the devil.
In pagan times different woods were burned to produce different effects:
Aspen: invokes understanding of the grand design
Birch: signifies new beginnings
Holly: inspires visions and reveals past lives
Oak: brings healing, strength, and wisdom
Pine: signifies prosperity and growth
Willow: invokes the Goddess to achieve desires
The solstice is also a time when we look to the future and think about the changes we are going to make. So if you have chucked one of the above logs onto your fire over the Christmas break I hope it produced the desired effects.
