Put the wood dresser somewhere else if you can afford to. The color of everything else in the room leans towards off-white, ivory and creams. It would look jarring against all the ivory. If you're open to painting the wood on the dresser, a weathered stain would flow better. But I know how that natural color is something many people want to keep. In that case move it elsewhere, get a new dresser for the bedroom.

Give the sideboard back. You are not obligated to be the repository for unwanted family furniture. Donate, or list on Marketplace. It's really not worth the work of a paint job unless you love all but the wood. It's 1950 era case goods....not a fine antique.

Unless you want the formality and fussy of the bed? Wait for the new year. and save more money.

Show YOUR room......not just a bed from a furniture catalogue photo.

Thank you both. I hate it so getting rid of it.

Good call: )

Your sideboard could be adapted for use in your bedroom but it would take some work. Would certainly have to be painted and reconfigured a bit. However, if you don't want to spend the money or if you aren't a diy person it might be best to either sell it or give it to another relative who might like it. Good luck!

Jumping on the bandwagon here: The sideboard doesn't belong in the room you're planning:

- First, the sideboard says "Traditional Home", whereas your inspiration picture is over-the-top glam, Ode to Versalles, Vegas.

- If you can use the sideboard elsewhere in your house, it looks like a nice piece, but it doesn't say bedroom, and it certainy doesn't say "this bedroom". Dining room? Entryway? It also looks like it'd provide some functional storage.

- You say you want to change the bed in 2024 ... that's not so far away. Will your new bed match the sideboard any better? If so, hold onto it.

- Since you're planning to get rid of the bed, and you're unsure about the sideboard, remember that paint can be your friend. Furniture is easy to refinish -- just time consuming.

All I can say is I sure hope you are in LOVE with that bed it decides absolutely everything you do in that space , too over the top for me but I would be nice to see your space with thta bed . I do agree the sideboard in no way works with thta bed.

The sideboard appears to be a dining room piece, not something for a bedroom. Is the center drawer lined in velvet with space for knives, serving pieces, etc.? Do you have a dining room to place it in or a living room where you could use it to put your tv on or above? If not, sell it on marketplace. Actually, I far prefer the sideboard, a nice wood piece, than the bed which looks like it is made of composite wood, etc. If neither suits your aesthetic sell them both. And spend the money on a mattress and metal frame for it. When your budget permits, purchase a headboard. When people you love give you items, they GIVE them to YOU. They are yours to use as you wish. Turning them into $$ might be the best use of these items.

I like the sideboard too

Not everything demands a "rescue" : ) especially one of eight million just like it, that can hardly be given away, these days. That's just brutal truth.

The bed was honestly, over the top at conception.

Even if you love formality, or country European? Nope. Not that , please?

Am I the only one seeing this?

The sideboard is not a factor now.

OP, can you post a picture of your room? Is the bed in there now?

LOL !! Nope, you aren't the only one, Jilly.......: )

Too bad--the sideboard is a beautiful piece. The bed, yikes, pretty awful.

Thanks all. I’ll respond and comment photo of bedroom on Friday when I return from a work trip.
