I've always dreamed of having a canopy bed...somewhere along the way it switched from "pink and frilly" to "neutral and junky". I am very happy with how it turned out.
My engineer husband very securely attached the brackets to the walls and the old ladder to the brackets...no worries :) Then I draped 2 matching painters drop cloths over 2 of the rungs of the ladder. That's it...easy!

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Could you hang from the ceiling at the other end of the bed hooks to make a curtain to carry a romantic fabric all the way around the be, perhaps fishing wire ? So it's not just behind the bed.![](http://cdn-fastly.hometalk.com/resources/design/emojis/1f914.png)
