Lavish effects are still there, but decorators creatively coped with real-world considerations to set up the 36th Bucks County Designer House & Gardens, which runs through May 29 at a grand estate in Buckingham as a fundraiser for Doylestown Hospital.

Owners of the 9,000-square-foot-plus Old Glory Farm have the 15-acre property on the market, and asked designers to work around certain elements, such as painted surfaces, wallpaper and flooring.

This meant few carte-blanche, floor-to-ceiling transformations. But it also required working within limitations the average person may have for budgetary reasons.

The results are illuminating, as in Robinson Interiors' front entryway, where one wall was covered with a large landscape painted on cloth, and another was done in fabric gathered tightly on rods.

Does anyone know about platform beds?

My husband and I are looking for a platform bedroom set. We're looking online because he is in Iraq right now. We found one we like, and the store is based out of state so I can't just walk-in and ask.

But I e-mailed the furniture store,

Yes it's true. Most likely the reason the mattresses look deeper is that they are. Most mattresses sold are 15 to 20 inches deep.

We had a platform bed for years that came with our house. We just had a regular mattress on it, no need for more. (There's storage under there, too!)

The previous owners bought a kit and built it in the attic bedroom without considering

What to do with HUGE master bedroom ceiling?

we just got a house which has really tall ceilings in the master bedroom. We have a platform bed and hubby hates canopies or four poster beds of any kind.
What can I do to make the space look more scaled?

A really large picture over the bed..
or a low hanging ceiling fan will take some the the height away.
You can also try painting the ceiling the same color as the walls..so it does not stand out as much
