Glam nightstands

10 years ago
Anyone run across silver and or mirrored nightstands for under $500? I'm thinking of black chest and dresser and silver nightstands for my master. Any thoughts? The bed is a king and floor to top of mattress is 27" so need something substantial with a couple drawers or cabinets and roomy surface area.
The bed is dove gray and the bedding is purple and silver.

    I shortened the harp so gold table and lamp are 60" and other table and lamp is 56". Better?

    I think it does look better, especially in the last picture. Do you?
  • 10 years ago
    I really do! Whew!

    Now just waiting on my 2 lamps and settee for the bedroom. After that just a mirror over the dresser, a painting over the fireplace and a few things for the walls but no hurry on those. I'll just wait until I find some things I love. It all needs to be done by March 26 because we're having my daughters wedding shower here.

    Got my 2 lamps and my settee for my bedroom. I love it all! Getting close to revealing the whole thing but a couple things first. I need some advice about mirrors over dresser. Thinking silver in a large round or possible two ovals. The dresser is really long. That and any wall ideas are appreciated. The flowers on the dresser won't stay there

    I don't know why but the bed always looks kind of tan in the pics but it's light gray and the settee matches perfectly.

  • 10 years ago
    Oh and here's what I'm thinking above the bed.
  • 10 years ago
    Your lamps and settee are very pretty! I would keep the pillows on the settee simple - one lumbar or a fur pillow in one corner. Here are some mirror examples. I don't think I like two ovals.
  • 10 years ago
    A couple more.
  • 10 years ago
    Hi Karen! The pillows on the settee are from the bed so they don't actually go there. You're right about the 2 ovals not looking right. What size mirror do you think? The dresser is 68" long.
  • 10 years ago
    If you do rectangular, 42" - 48"w. I'm not sure what sizes are available for round mirrors, but I would think you definitely don't want it to extend to the top of the windows. If you find a 36" you could put something tall on either side of it on the dresser, or do an asymmetrical arrangement with the mirror to one side. I would recommend cutting out a template of whatever round one you like to check the size on your wall. Typically you want whatever you put over the dresser to be 1/2 to 2/3 the width of the dresser.

    Thanks.

    You're welcome. It's really looking pretty!! You're so close to being finished!

    One more step completed! Curtains are up but need to put some weights on bottom to get them to hang better and need a magnetic cover over registers because their blowing my curtains up like a balloon! Just my dresser mirror and a few wall things and it's fabulous!
  • 10 years ago
    Here's what's going over bed.
  • 10 years ago
    Wow! It looks great!
  • 10 years ago

    Karen, in looking at the mirror pics I don't know if the round mirror will not be enough. I think that's why you said to get two tall things next to it. In your opinion would a rectangle be better? I was just trying to stay away from the cookie cutter dresser/ mirror but maybe a rectangle hung sideways like you have would fill it in better? And would silver be your choice? I have the silver in the nightstands, lamps and furniture pulls.

    I noticed at the bottom of the bed a small set of steps ..either you have a very short hubby or an old cat/dog !

  • 10 years ago
    Dog, 12 years old!
    Would a 41x 37" rectangular mirror fill this space? The dresser is 69" long.
  • 10 years ago
    Moo moo, my little Shizhu! Would a 46x31" rectangle mirror fit this area if laid on side? The dresser is 59" wide.
  • 10 years ago
    You've put two different measurements for the dresser in your comments so I don't know which one is correct. The "rule" is that you want your art or mirror to be about 2/3 the length of the dresser. Also, I would make sure the mirror is below the window trim. You can use painters tape to tape the outline on your wall. As far as the round mirror - yes I think it could work if you can find one that is big enough to get close to the 2/3 rules but doesn't go above the Windows. Does that make sense?
  • 10 years ago
    Makes sense. I see my dresser grew 10" in one post! Lol. Let ya know what I found
  • 10 years ago
    I wasn't sure whether it grew or shrank! But neither would be a good thing, lol!

    Where are those from? I like them.
  • 10 years ago

    TO see if they fit, tape an outline above dresser. As stated, should be 2/3-3/4 of wall space above dresser.

  • 10 years ago

    Will do!

  • 10 years ago

    Have you considered changing out the fan or a chandelier?

  • 10 years ago

    I like the breeze too much.

    Hi! Got the curtains up but is this considered "puddling" or just too long?
  • 10 years ago
    I had them up with one panel but it wasn't full enough so added another.
  • 10 years ago

    To me they are just too long. Puddling only works with curtains that are so light that when they hit the floor they just "pool" there. If the curtain creases or bulges, they are just too long.

  • 10 years ago
    Is this better? I pinned them up.
  • 10 years ago
    Wrong pic. I retook it
  • 10 years ago
    Bad pic, here's another
  • 10 years ago
    Lol! Those are both the same! After being pinned! How about now?
  • 10 years ago

    The bottom of curtains should be about 1/2" from the floor. If the curtains are not hanging straight, sew weights in the bottom. will help keep the curtain hanging nice and straight.

    Hi Susan! What do you think about this mirror? Is it too much? I don't want things to start looking cheap with all the mirror and silver.
  • 10 years ago
    I think I'm going to start a new post for the walls, maybe get some fresh ideas. Don't disappear!
  • 10 years ago

    That is very pretty. I like it. Hang it horizontally? Make sure it is the correct size for over dresser.

  • 10 years ago
    Here are a couple candlesticks I have. Would these look good on this dresser since the candlesticks are black and the dresser is dark brown?
  • 10 years ago

    I would find and hang mirror 1st before accessorizing the surface.

  • 10 years ago
    Susan, I started a new post: last stage: wall decor
  • 10 years ago
    Well no interest in the new post so I'll stay here!
  • 10 years ago

    Give us the link to new post. I've looked for it.

  • 10 years ago
    I didn't know how to copy the link so I just took a pic. Will that work?
