Seize the Day {Bed}

Daybeds are the design world’s great multi-taskers—changing that small space into a cozy den, study and extra bedroom all in one. A daybed can make the smallest space the most versatile room in your home.

Dual function daybeds are good solutions for small spaces. During the day they’re couches, and at night they can easily convert into extra space for sleepover guests, extra seating for parties and a nice space to curl up & read a book!

Plus, day bed style options have changed over the last few years… remember these?

It used to be that these were your options… Now there are so many modern and classically styled daybeds to choose from.

Check these out:

1. Window Daybed by West Elm

2. Simone Daybed by Crate & Barrel

3. Milan Daybed by Macy’s

4. Morgan Daybed by Macy’s

5. Jackson Daybed by Room & Board

6. Lampert Lounger by Jonathan Adler

7. Twilight Sofa by Design Within Reach

8. Bench by Lee Furniture

Now for some inspiration…

I would love a nook to read & look at magazines… wouldn’t you? Have a day bed? How did you make it work within your space? DO Tell.

    Love that West Elm bed! I like how they’ve used it as a bench on the end of the blue bed. That’d be a perfect spot for my pups.

  • Shout out for National Pet Day to Finley who came at the perfect time to bring our family joy! After losing our beloved Bentley, I really thought I wouldn’t want another dog for awhile. Just about a month later last fall, this precious Mini Goldendoodle captured my heart from @d_shalom_goldendoodles! To say we are in love with him would be an understatement! He is super sweet, smart and just the best! Love his little heart shaped nose! #nationalpetday #minigoldendoodle #goldendoodle Dog bed from @tjmaxx . . . #lakewoodranch #bestdog #beatdogever #furbabies #dogbed #bohodog #sarasota #dogsofinstagram

  • Miss Lilah Chapel danced beautifully in her very first dance recital! I enjoyed every second and might have shed a few tears! She stepped out on stage and starting waving at me, pointing telling everyone I was her mommy and saying hi! The music came on and I was watching this beautiful girl I had prayed and dreamt about twirl around. I was instantly overcome with emotion and gratitude! God surely is so good! . . . #lakewoodranch #woodlandfineartsacademy #dancerecital #ballerina #ballerinasofinstagram #sweetgirl #danceforjesus #dancingforjesus
