A BAHAMAS BEDROOM

Dressed with IKEA curtains, a wrought-iron lit à la polonaise with an eight-foot-tall canopy takes center stage in the master bedroom of Tom Scheerer's 200-year-old cottage on Harbour Island in the Bahamas. Painted in pastel green, the room is kept shady and cool by louvered shutters.
