Lynn, when are we going to see pictures from your bedroom? I am anxious to see them. I know it will be beautiful and peaceful.

YAY!!!! I'm SO glad you returned the other stuff. And I'm very happy to hear that your patience paid off. :) Like Patricia, I'm eager to see the photos!!!!

Have been wondering when your furniture would arrive Lynne.
Glad you are happy with it as I have been with the (9) pieces I have from Durham. I think their quality counts for a lot. Waiting to see your pictures.
Dorothy

Patricia, Organic, & Dorothy, Thank you for the nice comments and being happy for me. As soon as I finish one more deadline and put the clothes in the drawers, I will take pictures.

I still am very happy and love the Shutter/Plantation TV Deck Door so much. I love the creamy color. I love how well made it is. I love how proportionate the furniture is for my petite size (I can see a lot of myself in the mirror which I am glad I bought)and for the bedroom.

Yes, Quality counts for a lot.

Durham Bedroom Furniture Pictures in the link below as promised... more pics to come with the decorative pillows on my bed when I have time. I posted the link below since I forgot I started a thread already until I did a search just now.

Lynn, your bedroom looks just lovely and your bedding and furniture are so pretty! I'll bet you don't have dogs sleeping on your bed? I could never get away with all that white. But it sure is beautiful. I'll be eager to see your pics when you add a little color in the pillows.

Very nice, Lynn! Glad you're happy with it ;)

Oceanna and Moonshadow, Thank you both for the compliments on my new bedroom furniture. I am so happy to have the clothes off of the floor and have a neat bedroom. Thanks Moonshadow for posting the link again. I figure if anyone is every looking for furniture for their bedroom it would be nice if they were able to see the pictures to decide if they would like an Ivory peaceful bedroom or they want to know if Durham Furniture is quality.

Oceanna, My 6 lbs 6 year old female Maltese Sassy sleeps with me. But she does not shed and is a quiet sleeper. My other furkidz sleep at night under my desk since my 5 year female Shih Tzu Panda snores, my 8.75 year old male Maltese Skeeter licks the air nonstop due to neurological problems that he has had since I adopted him at 17.5 weeks, my little 2.5 year old female Maltese Lexi keeps wanting to kiss me and play which is cute for a 4 pound Maltese when she is awake but is not cute when I am trying to sleep. I really wanted Sassy to sleep downstairs but she kept crying and I gave in and she does not keep me awake.

Lynn, I have been admiring your pix again, and wondering about something. We may have discussed this before, but I need to ask.

Is there any reason that you couldn't put the bed, side chest and night table on the wall where the dresser is now, and move the armoire to the corner where the small high boy chest is? Then put the dresser and the high chest on that wall where the bed is currently.

I am just thinking that having the armoire angled in the solid corner would perhaps be better, and then you wouldn't block off any of the windows on the end wall.

les, my post disappeared that I wrote to reply to you and it has been 20 minutes so I will reply again.
If you were in person at my home and was in my bedroom, you would agree that the set up I have now is optimum for my bedroom furniture and viewing of my TV and being able to turn on the lamps with the light switch since both lamp switches around the bed are affected by the light switch on the wall when one enters my bedroom.

The most important reason for the Armoire with the TV to be by the windows closest to the wall entering the bedroom is because the cable outlet is on that wall behind the double dresser. I like my TV to be catty corner to be able to see the TV when I am folding laundry on my bed standing up. I like to watch HGTV for decorating ideas and a few TV shows I enjoy like Grey's Anatomy. To have a long cord wrap around my room would not be good for when I vacuum and it would make my TV even slower in switching TV channels and turning on. I love my new Toshiba LCD TV Panel but it is slow.

Next, I like being able to switch on both lamps when I am doing laundry at night by switching on the light switch. That light switch on the wall when I enter the room controls the light switches on the sides of my bed the way it is now. I had to put in an extension type of cord (using a surge protector that has a long cord) to the wall behind the chest of drawers for my clock radio to be plugged into to prevent it from being turned on and off accidentally.

I also like facing the door when I sleep for safety reasons in case I hear noise and want to see who it is.

Finally, I like the way a bedroom looks when I walk in the room and the bed is on the wall I am looking at.

I do wish my bedroom was two feet wider and three feet longer but I am lucky it is not smaller so at least I was able to figure out how to get all that furniture in my bedroom in a light color to not overwhelm the bedroom. I also think the triangle cathedral ceiling and the wall windows opens of the room some despite it not being too big for a master bedroom. I think the size of the pieces of the Durham Furniture look nice in my bedroom. I loved the Stanley Furniture bedroom set I had for a week but the pieces were big for my bedroom I can see now and I only could fit a night stand in that corner to put a TV on which allowed me no room for a VCR or eventually a DVD player.

If my bedroom was bigger, I would have liked a chair next to my dresser by the light switch to put clothes on for setting up what I am wearing the next day. Since I do not have the room, I put a clear tiny hook over my door for this purpose and it is working out fine.

Thanks for admiring my new furniture again.

Do you like the Ivory Cream shades on my Satin Brass Lamps? Remember I used to have mismatched lamps there with one table lamp in a brass and ivory finish with a white lamp shade that was very old and the gold plated material was chipping and one floor lamp silver with a white and cream lamp shade. You can check out the link under the Stanley furniture since I still have those pics available for the public to see. I had wanted crystal lamps but I saw these lamps on sale at JCPenney and thought they looked so pretty and had thought the ivory lamps shades would be a white ivory and not a very yellow ivory. I do love the satin brass finish on the lamps a lot but do you think crystal lamps would look nicer?

Les, Help! My post printed twice in the same post! Sorry....
