OK Folks

I need some help. Matt finished the bed last week and I very much like it. It's just what I was after. However. I can't decide about the 'love' business. If you have no idea what I am talking about, then you need to go here and check out the inspiration for the bed. This is the picture that I showed Matt, and he delivered. In my opinion, the big fat yellow 'love' is too much. I like it, but not for me, you know what I mean?

Our family motto is 'Nothing but Love' and we have shortened that to NBL. We use that on things that we might want to monogram....towels, sterling, and such. It's also carved above doorways and set in concrete at several different locations 'cross this great nation of ours. I thought about 'monogramming' the wood with NBL. That's a possibility.

Or there's this. A small 'love' in the corner. See below. I wrote this in with photo shop. It doesn't exist in real life.It's just to help you see what I'm thinking. We would probably carve it, then paint it in to look oldish.

That's my grandmother's sewing basket, by the bed. Love it and use it! The oil painting is of an aspen grove up by  aspen guard station. 

So, help me, please. NBL or 'love' or nothing at all. Or something all together different?!

I'm all ears!
