Thoughts on combining these two pieces

9 years ago

we own this cherry bed. It's about 18 years old so the cherry has darkened and is quite beautiful. I love these copeland dressers and wanted to put 2 of them as night stands. What are your thoughts on combining these two ? I was thinking of either the charc maple or the smoke cherry as I didn't want the same color as the bed.

    These two pieces do not go together in my opinion. The bed is more craftsman style and the side tables are contemporary. Keep looking.

    I think something with wood/metal rustic would be a nice complement to the mission style if you want to be different.

    Curious why you don't want it same color as the bed: not matching..?

    All of the above are right: it is a sore sight. So indeed look for a style that does match.

    Colorwise I would go for the Smoke Cherry instead of the other one, since the bed and this Smoke Cherry are both of the warmer palette. In another piece of furniture, that is.

    No, no, no. Those do not go together. If you have a craftsman style, cherry wood colored bed frame from 18 years ago, I would say don't waste any money finding something to go with that. It's time to start over. And if you think the above pieces would look together, then before you spend (read into that "waste") any money, get someone with some decorating sense to help you.

    Thanks everyone for your opinion. The rest of our house is fairly modern/transistional. I do not want he master to be to disparate. The bed is 18 years old but as solid as the day we got it and is a beautiful piece of handmade craftsmanship. Since I do not want to go to traditional what would you recommend? We had also considered a linear dresser from room and board but the Copeland one above is hands down better quality and through then of this month I was able to get the price for less than the R&B one.

    Lost my second post. Here are two other. The first only come in ash so I'd probably choose a charcoal stain. The second is only cherry and walnut.

    Also found this one from Copeland.

    Does anybody have thoughts on the ones above? Also if not these what would you suggest knowing I want to keep the room more modern/transistional.

    The dressers are too contemporary. Something like this would work a bit better.

    thanks Carolina k&b. That looks a bit too rustic for me. Would the linear cabinet from room and board work?

    my better shelf- I want 3 drawer dressers so we can replace the 5 drawer one we have. Currently we have shelfs as the night stands but we want something a bit more substantial to balance that area. We have up to 40". Width in each side for dressers but height would be optimal at 28".




    Well I'll combine the two pictures to see what the linear would look like

    Ok I guess the first ones were too modern. I found this one, also from Copeland. The downside is that it's a few inches taller than the mattress. What are everyone's thoughts on that? I'd choose different handles than what is pictured here.

    Thanks tatts. Somehow I didn't see your comment. I looked at those and the have some beautiful pieces. Everything seemed a bit too traditional for me though? What do you think of the Copeland Mansfield? Oh and yes the bed is handmade by local craftsman.
