Now, Becky has a new idea about bed and she has twin beds idea. She grew up with some antique brass ones in her room. Some brass thing was constantly coming loose and bonking her in the head in the middle of the night, and sometimes as an extra treat, the whole thing would fall in and she’d be stuck at an angle, completely tucked in and yelling for help. Perhaps that’s why she’s hated twin beds my whole life. Getting her first full bed was heavenly, and now that she has a queen, it’s nirvana.

Well, since then antiques have grown on her, and lately she’s been noticing just how chic designers are making twin beds look these days. She supposes when they don’t collapse and brass bits aren’t bonking you on the head in the middle of the night, they are downright practical. Kids can share a room, guests who aren’t into spooning each other can both fit in the guest room, and for those of you who love symmetry can create a matchy-matchy heaven. All in all, She’s had to re-think her take on twin beds, and they are starting to grow on her. Just don’t make her sleep in one for more than two days.

This is the picture that started to change her mind, though these appear a little larger than standard twin size. It’s double the glam with those wonderful canopies.

Monogramming matching spreads is a way for kids to have some ownership of their own bed.

Twin beds are also great for sleepovers with your childhood B.F.F. (then and now).

This mirror becomes a focal point and ties the two beds together as one unit.

Twin beds straddling the door in here seems to be the only way to squeeze enough room for two into this room.

O.K. Check out the giraffe lamps. Are those Jonathan Adler? she didn’t know he made a sconce version! This whole room is so perfect without being too cutesy, and here two beds (and coordinating giraffes and X-benches) are so much better than one.

This is the opposite of matchy-matchy, and she has to say it is not convincing her to go astray from matchy matchy. It makes her dizzy.

Twin beds for grownups.

This is a cozy cabin vibe at its best. I imagine one would sleep quite well in here, no matter how narrow the bed!
