I love that pine bed but I love pine furniture anyway. No suggestions but I do like birchlane and also some Paula Deen furniture. I like the first one you posted. All I really know is don't get something you don't love.

That first bed is one I mentioned here before that a blogger bought and painted black. Her room is gorgeous. I considered it in the brown, although we do not need a bed nor was I even looking for one. So far I have held off. LOL Where is that last picture from? I love the coverlet.

PS - google the name of the first bed if you are interested in it. I'm thinking I saw it for less but not sure where. Maybe Overstock? You might want to look at their beds. Kohls also has the bed and that is where the blogger bought hers.

All of these are Mr. and Mrs. Howard for Sherrill Furniture. I’m sure they come in a variety of finishes.

Bumblebeez, I agree. There are many that I like, but few that I love.

Tina, do you happen to remember the blogger? I'd like to see what she did with it, because I am considering something darker. And the last photo is from here.

Thanks, Bbstx. Your bed is gorgeous! I'll take a look at these additional sources, too. There is one I looked at from Frontgage, but its spindles were too tall.

This thread reminded me of this post from Please Hate These Things on IG

Some of the comments were hilarious.

@Feathers11 sorry, I follow her on instagram. She may or may not have a blog. Her name is Louisa Craven. I'm going to try to link an instagram photo of her bedroom.

My dh and I ordered a bed in december after much angst. We went with Durham furniture, out of Canada. They have beautiful furniture and it’s solid wood—no veneers. Here’s what we chose:

Of course we won’t get it until May, but this pandemic has taught us to be (mostly) patient.

How about a little more cane?

Edited:

I love this dresser! It’s just a tad larger than I want for the guest room. Other dressers “close “ are too shallow/small. Oh, and it‘s out of my price range 😟

The bed you ordered is lovely, so classic and a pretty color of wood. Like that it is all wood.

Bbstx- I have been wanting that cane bed from Frontgate, for a couple of years. Unfortunately, it does not come in a CA King which is the size favored by my DH. Have not found anything similiar in the size I want. We are house hunting for a second home in the Palm Springs area, maybe once O find a house I need to buy it in a Queen for a guest room.

ChrislovesJulia just got a bed like the Wayfair one from Bed bath and beyond that came in a dark wood.. Not sure about quality but she usually spends $$ on things so guessing it must be good.

I am not help, as I am voting for your dream bed. You can't take it with you. :D

I believe you are in the Chicago area, right? Have you been to Walter E. Smithe, Toms-Price or Penny Mustard?

Another enabler here as I really like the pine bed!

Just-terrilynn, I like the cane! It's not common in my area and I'd have to see it first to see if it would work.

Bac717, yes, a Walter E Smithe is 5 minutes from me but I didn't find anything in their showroom. I'm trying to get to the other 2 this week, as well as a few consignment shops.

Allison... I know... but my dream bed's delivery is a long way out, and I'm sleeping on a mattress on the floor in the meantime. I'm ok with that (it's a great workout) but am debating what's worth waiting for further.

Tina, that Louisa Craven post is so helpful. I love what she did with the bed--I like the look of it on my screen but knowing I could change it if it didn't work is helpful. I love her use of black in her decor.

I like the first bed, but have you considered the morooco brown? I definitely love the light pine bed but understand when something is out of the price range you are looking to spend.

I guess I like natural wood over painted wood.

Are you leaning to something lighter in color?

You have great taste. Whatever you decide will look great!

Thank you, Aktillery. I am looking for something lighter. I'm a little concerned about the finish on the first one, but after seeing what the IG-er that Tina posted did with it, I think I could change it if I didn't like it. It's a risk I'd take at that price point. But I'm going to check out a few more stores this week

Jojoco, your set is beautiful, too, and I'm sure will be worth the wait. Some local stores carry Durham so I'll look at them this week.

Feathers, I love her style, although it is so different from my own! We have neutral, light colors mostly in our home. I love her black fireplace - did you see it??? (ps go through her feed - maybe saved in her stories, but see how she did those nightstands!)

I love real wood also - actually most anything wood in our home is antique, and I love that patina. HOWEVER, in our own bedroom I felt like we had too many wood pieces (besides a metal headboard), so the chests on either side of the bed are painted (off-white). I like the occasional piece of painted furniture added in. Too, although the wood pieces in our bedroom are not from a set - I hate "matchy-matchy" and felt we needed something to break it up. I think a painted bed could do the trick.

And now that I keep seeing that bed, it's making me consider it again!

I like the cane ones JT posted.

Also, I have a collection called Lexington Seaside Retreat that looks very similar to the white one bbstx posted. It also came in a pine finish. So maybe Google if you can find a headboard used from that collection. I never bought the headboard and have an iron bedframe. My BR’s have always been small and I felt it was too large for my room.

Yes, Tina, I spent yesterday evening scrolling her feed. What she did with those nightstands and the lamps was really something! I'm also rethinking my white painted fireplace.

I have very similar shelves in my office as she does in hers. Mine are a bit more "rustic" and oversized, as I had them made by a local welder to store projects for my side business. I love the black wall behind them. She's inspired me to style them a bit more.
