I really need your help, we are doing a Belle & Boo photo shoot in a weeks time & we are desperately searching for a bed that looks like this.
Has anyone seen one for sale or hire, preferably in the UK ? If you have please let us know, we would be eternally grateful. Also a big THANK YOU to Daily Candy for the lovely article, which you can read here.
I guess you're after vintage and old looking, but IKEA do a decorative metal frame daybed which is (if I remember right) under £100 and could be painted up to look distressed. Just a thought... good luck! x
I have an old french cot, which sides fold down to create a small day bed, I've used it for craft fairs in the past it will fit in an estate car. You can see it in this post: http://thewhiteverandah.blogspot.com/2008/05/as-promised-here-are-some-pictures-of.html You are welcome to borrow it from me, or I would be interested in selling it if you wanted to keep it.

You could try the Royal National Theatre's hire Dept. Its in Kennington. They have a huge prop and furniture hire dept and may have just what you are looking for. sorry I don't have the address or number to hand but I'm sure Google can help. Nora

ReplyDeleteI was going to say just the same thing. We have it ourselves, a large black version but they also do a white wrought iron day bed too.
ReplyDeleteGood luck, hoep it goes well.

Hi
ReplyDeleteIkea also do a childs extending bed called minnen @ £69 - I have one & they are very similar to what you are looking for...
Love your work
Love Lydia
That's ironic because I am also looking for the same type of bed for my work.
ReplyDeleteI have a long cot in a similar style - the sides collapse down to make a daybed - if that's any good to you?
