Those chests are great. Ask the seller if they will paint them for a price.

6" tiles glued well [!] onto plywood, to be placed within window - how deep is the window - should be safe.

Maybe semi-permanent frame around it afterward - in a style that fits.

The metal scroll pieces Home Goods sells - 2 of them on painted/stained wood, for inside of window....

Or for outside the window:

Was mentioned to place curtains over patio [?] door --

Amazon idea / single panel is 100"W by 108"L. Each panel has 16 antique grommets (rim of grommet is 2.4", while inner is 1.6") can be hung from a basic or decorative curtain rod.

Canvas art or fabric over the window.

I'd go white for the drapes on the sliding door.

I would look for curtains that are close to the wall color. You'll probably need 4 panels to be sure they're full enough. As far as fabric for the window, do you want it to look like art?

Re fabric:
If burgundy is your favorite, then why not look for fabric in this color and do above the bed what others have all suggested, like this? Could be done in a pretty burgundy print with grey and burgundy pillows and throw blanket along the bottom of bed.

Do you have a budget for nightstands? I think you could use a white and burgundy fabric as suggested and then use the white curtains and add burgundy pillows.

Hi Andrea Key, you need a wallpaper behind your headboard. Hanging pendants on the side of the bed. A hanging chandelier on the center of the room, and bring some color with throw blanket and scatter cushions. You also need a foot end

hey Makoki,,,once again, you companies don't bother to read the details. custom made ottoman, that over the top chandelier (seriously?) $200 pillows,,,c'mon,,,which part of 'budget' didn't you get? does your pic look anything like OP's bedroom? (sorry OP,,nothing against your room. I just hate when these companies post their million dollar rooms on average people's posts)

here ya go. perfect.

andrea, chalk paint is non toxic and very easy to use. if you want to paint your nightstands to brighten them up, go ahead. use an off white shade or a pale blue or yellow. or keep looking on craigslist for the french pieces.

it can be sanded off. why would you want to remove it?

I've painted furniture for 6 years with everything under the sun. CP is the easiest.

Congrats.

That's an unusual elongated indent above the headboard; what's its purpose?

Have you considered stacking your two nightstands to create one tall chest of drawers -- adding a board to the side at the back corner and all across the back to "build" it into one unit? (might require sawing off the "feet) of one.)

You could then invest in a pair of narrower night stands that have the more romantic feel you desire -- no paint required.

You might consider a matching pair of interesting file cabinets -- useful for all the documents you're about to acquire and all that precious art with which you'll be rewarded in a few years and all those family photograph albums.

Some with locks -- might be important for securing meds or weapons, etc., w/a toddler in your future.

There are more expensive 2-drawer oak file cabinets available via most office supply stores; however, with more expenses on the way ... budgets can matter.

You might even consider a pair of floor lamp /table combo as night stands.

If you go this route, the small lamps could be repurposed for another bedroom.

No, you can use any color. I can't really tell what colors you have, so I picked those.

as for scratching, after painting you do a fine sanding so the finish is super smooth. from there you can buff it with wax, or use a poly top coat. It doesn't scratch any more than wood or other surfaces would. if you use wax, you must use a coaster with any drink.

you also don't have to distress the finish. chalk paint can be used like any other paint, covering the entire piece.

you said you like the french pieces. you can find these all day for next to nothing on craigslist. I've done tons of these.

(and you can do this w/the cheap-o laminated pieces)

you can find all sorts of nightstands on CL for as little as $20 and make them look like new.

here's a link for a how to for you

I want to learn how, and plan on taking a class soon. Nice to save money if possible.... is there a "story" behind these piercings?...

what do you mean, 'story' ? I could replicate that finish easily. few different body colors (duck egg, pale blue,,a little antique white, gray) and a light top coat of a semi translucent silver metallic paint.

I said reason for, or historical story-background about those piercings....

oh ok. I think it's just decorative.

you can. I've done it. Home depot and lowes carry some in-stock bun feet, or square feet. you can also order them on eBay or etsy has them.

my friend had this old retro side table that sat flat. she wanted it made into a pet bed with feet. She picked these and my husband attached them to the bottom. raised it about 4-5". and yes, she picked these colors!
