When I was seven or eight, I mentioned casually to my grandparents that I wanted a canopy bed. On my next birthday, one magically appeared in my bedroom. (The pic above includes my dear friend, Kelly Knight, who did not magically appear with the bed. But this was the only pic of my bed I could find, so I hope she forgives me for publishing her picture. Hi, Kelly, wherever you are!) Talk about a bed making a little girl feel like a princess. I even made the bed and put the stuffed animals in the same places every day. This Sears commercial features a similar bed frame in white, but it's a bit later, I think.
