Well, My design advise is the Finials atop the posts, IMHO they are undersized for the massive structure. 4" ball atop a 8" posts just doesn't quite make it. Perhaps a thinner cap piece would allow the 3 1/2 dia balls to blend in better. are these the PT ones you spoke about on anther posting? you might look at http://www.vandykes.com/category/wooden-products for some Bun feet or their Finials .
In the "I would have" category, I would suggest that instead of the raised panels on each Newel Post (Looks like a Newel Post to me) a recesssed panel would lend a supportive contrast to the fake drawer fronts of the foot & head boards.
This is a quite formible piece and will enhance any large bedroom.
Did you mention if it a Full sized or Queen? If a Queen or larger, you really need center support, a 5th leg in the center. Using a notch on the side rail supports, you can affix a cross rail (or slat) with a 5th or 6th leg to support the middle of the foundation.
I assume from your wife's comments, the Wedding issue has past and the princesses are all grown up but don't negate the need for a pair of cast iron bath tubs watching the sunset. Things do happen with a new bed. Never know when you might want to See Alice.
Thanks Bill...Van Dykes looks awesome...Let me peruse the site a little. And yes it is a Queen...and Center support has been figured in already,
As for the Cast tubs......here in Florida we use Jacuzzi.....They work better when under screening....damn bugs down here
