The bedroom of our 1964 single wide mobile home presented a huge interior design challenge. The room is only 10' X 10" and has a built in vanity on one side and closets on the other; so, there is only one place to put the bed. The biggest challenge was the the long skinny window above the existing light fixtures where the headboard has to go.
I new I did not want blinds or drapes or anything that would collect dust and be difficult to clean. Here is what I came up with, after a month of experimenting.

I had three black frames that just happened to fit in the frame of the long skinny window. I wanted to carry the "Word" theme into this section of the room; so, I did some typography and printed out black and white's on my home printer. I had a ton of cheap bamboo place-mats to I cut them to fit inside the frame and placed the 8 1/2 X 10 prints on top of the bamboo mats. VOILA! I can even slide these back and forth and lift them out with ease for cleaning.
I then placed our wedding picture in the center and some artsy closeups of our hands with our wedding rings on.
I love how the bamboo placements add a warm glow and tie in with the sea grass baskets on either side of the nigh stands.
Enjoyed the project?
