Beautiful!! I love the curved/wavy front! Eye candy for sure for your guests!!!

PS Do your guests get to sleep with the cats?? :)

Awww, that's cute!

I love the quilt on the bottom of the bed.

OH.. isn't that a dear little chest. I love it! The room looks so warm and homey.

I don't know if we only have junk on CL or if I need to look more often but I've never seen anything as nice as you all bring home.

texashottie: Hee-hee--yes. :)

oceanna: Thanks. :)

funkyart: I bought it from this lovely elderly couple who have the most ravishing antique home that they are renovating themselves in truly colonial style. I guess they simply didn't have room for it any more. There is some great stuff on the Boston CL, but it still takes assiduous searching to separate the wheat from the chafe. :)

Love it! I'm coming over with my pillow and 'jamas! And I'll bring some catnip!

Fun guest room! ;)

I love it so much!

Score!

It's perfect! Your guest room is shaping up to look like a cozy b&b - not the kind where it looks like laura ashley threw up all over the room. :)

Gorgeous find, Organic! It looks like the entry table I found not long ago. Love the curves.

Darling little treasure! I would like to see you center the chest on that wall and possibly put the wicker trash container on the other side.

That's real sweet, Organic. Looks perfect! Do you think you might look for a mirror too? (Looks like a washstand from here, with the base for the mirror.)

Love the chest and the room!! What a nice place for guests.

Do you mind if I ask where you bought the bed? I'm looking for something with similar curved lines, but in white.

Thanks!

Lovely. I love the chair.

I want to stay in your guest room (especially since I love cats :O)) Great find! We don't have CL here, but we have kajiji and I am addicted to that site!

Valzone - when I googled Kajiji (I'd never heard of it), it came up with classifieds in Allentown, PA. I'm not sure if it knows where I am and popped up the location closest to me or what, but if that's where you are, I just wanted to let you know that there is a craigslist for the lehigh valley. Go to craigslist, click on Pennsylvania, and you'll see it.

Wow, what a little beauty, you lucky dog!! They have a couple of pretty pieces on my Craigs list for weeks now because the seller wants too much money for them. Was yours a steal? I find people tend to overprice things for Craigs list. I think of Craigs as a place to find a bargain. Am I wrong?

lkplatow - I live in Canada, but thanks for letting me know :O)

What a great little piece! The room is so cozy. I can see a nice little vintage crystal or glass lamp on the dresser, though.

Love that chair and the bed!

What a wonderful little piece, which needs a smallish sparkly lamp and a crystal clock to make it perfect.

Wonderful, adorable, and perfect for your corner.

hey I just have to say I have the exact same bedding. I painted my room BM Sierra Hills and it looks lovely with the bedding. Really rich color...Love your dresser!!

Thanks so much, everybody. I just finished typing a long response, and lost it!!! So, I'll try again. :)

Lisa: Yes, I really want to keep it low-key, if possible. I'm not a "girly" type. :)

Reno: What kind of lamp did you put on that beautiful chest you found? I forgot!

wisrose: I know--it really should go on the other wall, centered. The problem is that the only outlet is in the middle of the other wall (the wall the chest is up against now), so I needed to hide the outlet and also needed it for the lamp. The old houses have such weird little quirks--why would anybody put electrical outlets in the middle of the wall?!?!?

squirrel: There is no mirror to attach to the carved piece--there may have been at one time, though. In fact, I think I remember the owners saying that there was one attached, but it looked like a head attached to a chest and they removed it! But that's okay--if I come across a mirror in the future that might go with it, I'll put one up them. :)

brutuses: Unfortunately, no, I didn't really get a "steal" this time. I paid $225 for it. But I had spent so many weeks looking for a small enough dresser (and they are hard to find!) that when this one appeared, I just jumped on it! Plus, it's birdseye maple, so I feel okay about it. Here's a close-up:

I'm thinking maybe the radio doesn't belong on it, after all? :)

scottmel: Do you have a photo of your room? I'd love to see it!

teeda and patricia (and everybody else): So you think the lamp doesn't really work there? I'm not much of a crystal person, but do any of these strike your fancy?

kimberly: I bought the bed at Jordan's Furniture (a large furniture store in Massachusetts). I think it cost about $200. I would have like to purchase an antique iron bed, but it wasn't in the budget at the time. But that's okay--this one is nice enough--for now. :)

Finally, so you guys think the chair works there? I don't have another place for it, and was worried it was too "heavy" for the space. I put it at an angle because against the wall, it looked strange.

Oh, I think that is a steal for such a beautiful piece.

I love everything about the room, including the lamp and radio. Don't hide the wastebasket, it looks cute there. I love how it looks collected over time, which it probably was!

OOOH, I love that little dresser. I love small pieces like that - they are so versatile. Enjoy it!

To the OP, You have a VERY nice Birds Eye Maple dresser.That carving on the back does not belong there, nor did it ever go with the piece.
If you paid $225 dollars for it in that condition you got a STEAL !

Enjoy it and know that you got the better end of the deal.

Great find Organic, that chest is to die for! Love the room and like #3 lamps.

The "carving" on the back looks like the original mirror support "harp" re-positioned and re-purposed for a back fall. Definitely keep it with the piece in case someone wants to restore it. It could be restored into its original position with a half-inch diameter dowel between it for a towel bar (for decorative textile display).
