White bed frame with quilted blanket.

Victorian-era spool-turned-furniture was commonly made in the late 1800s and is one of the few styles still made and sold today. Since it was both ornamental and stylish, yet affordable, it was identified as “Cottage Style”. It was good for guests to be comfortable, but not so much so as to have them stay too long.
