perhaps i'm boring, but i like the roman font.  it looks clean and elegant- some of the others i liked in small doses then looked at the sample- whoa!  i wish there were more clean fonts like the roman but maybe a little more interesting or bolder.  i think it also depends on if you're going to do a long quote, or a short one like the work is love made visible quote.  The italics/cursive ones might be cute in a long quote.

 I'm sitting here with my husband and he thinks the Outkast quote "Where are my panties?" would be REALLY funny.  Where is there an eye rolling icon when you need one???

BWAHAHAHAHAHA! That would be beautiful in a script font. LOL!

As for the quote, it won't be long. I want something that can be done in two lines or so. The arch on my bed is sort of high, so I can't do anything long without overcrowding the area.

Here are some quotes I am thinking of. Since it's our bed, I was looking for stuff with either a "love" theme, or a sleep/dream theme, or something semi-inspirational. I really like this one: "Finish each day and be done with it. Tomorrow is a new day, begin it well." - Emerson. But my SIL just got the exact same one at her house. So I was hoping for something different.

Some of my other favorites:

Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. -H. L. Mencken.

The years teach much which the days never knew. -Emerson.

It was such a lovely day I thought it was a pity to get up. -Somerset Maugham.

There is nothing like a dream to create the future. Victor Hugo.

Lord grant that I may always desire more than I accomplish. Michelangelo.

I can also pick my own quote, but the price doubles.

Your husband sounds funny, also sounds like something mine would say!! I like the one It was such a lovely day I thought it was a pity to get up. -Somerset Maugham. I think the  is nice. Are the lamps on your nightstands silver? If so I think silver would look nice to kind of bring that color out.

I love this quote! So perfect for over the bed!

I like the Boulevard font in either the matte dark brown or the matte saphire blue 

I love this quote with gigi font!  Sorry it's so big!

LOL, I guess we know what quote I should use! But you guys are as indecisive as I am about the font. I may ask my MIL (aka, my personal decorator ) to choose it for me.

I really like handlettering, but I don't think I should use it, because I have another quote downstairs in that font. For anyone who's curious, here's what it looks like IRL (excuse the construction project going on in my backyard):

 

i just saw this.  i don't know if you already ordered, but i vote for the somerset maugham quote, too. 

i have something over my bed, too, but i ordered mine from wisedecor.com.  their prices are pretty good.  i got this font, called "french script":

but i used all lowercase, because a boutique near my house had their outside sign done the same way and it looked so cool.  i copied them.  i like it because it's not very curlicue or fancy--just simple, but less boring than arial or something.   

For your room and furniture I would choose:

in chocolate brown or Gold.

What fun Idea. I really like it.
