Ohhhh, I love every one of them! I spent a lot of time yesterday checking them all out and, sadly, they aren't going to work for me no matter how much I love them. They're either more than I want to spend, too pricey to have shipped here to New Mexico or to Oklahoma, already sold or for pick up only. So, moved on to Plan B: Compromise. I headed back out to other shops in my area this morning and found a compromise headboard for only $30. It's wicker instead of wood. While it's feminine, it doesn't have the beautiful detailing that the above headboards have. I bought it because it's clean and in great shape, the tall height will work really well with Emily's PBT bedding and many pillows . . . and I can spray paint it black for just a few dollars more. I'd found this inspiration pic, which gave me the idea that her many pillows might look best up against a taller, plainer, black headboard. Here's that pic: Here's her PBT(Pottery Barn Teen) comforter and sheet set, although DD now has a black netted bedskirt with hers: And here's my $30 bargain headboard, now waiting to be painted: It's propped up against her new (old) slant front desk, that will also be painted this Summer while she's home here. Oakley: last month she actually bought a dresser, nightstand and mirror at a consignment shop near the university. But she's not been able to find a decent desk or headboard she liked. I'm personally not crazy about the color of them or the minimal storage area of the dresser, but she loves them and it's her life and her room. Pics below: Being that she's inherited my decorating obsession (LOL), she already has a number of lamps and artwork for the walls, which also lean towards Tropical. Her new 32" tall mirror which she'll also be painting black: And her PBT curtains in Pool, will work well in her new place: I'll post After pics, but not until everything has been painted, transported to her new place in Norman and set up . . . which will be in late-July. In the mean time, thank you all for your time, efforts and ideas. I really appreciate it! Lynn

Thanks, Les. Yeah, you're right about testing them out first. Now I just have to get a free day to make the six hour round trip to the nearest WM. Maybe I need to look somewhere closer. :) I currently use a 48" bench on one side of the table. It works great for two people when we need the seating. And the table does expand to an oval. Wall to edge of table is 54". That would fit a narrow bench or chaise, and a chair at the table. And yes, I have considered a chaise. I'd actually prefer that, but I can't find anything that is narrow enough. Any ideas? Current pics of space. Sorry the lighting is bad, it's so bright in there that it's hard to get a decent pic. (We are also going to be painting the trim white when we replace the windows, and I'm looking for new curtains. The rug on the right will be moved outside on the deck when that gets built.)

Do you want it has a headboard?

I know all areas are different, but here you can call in orders to local grocery stores and they will load them for you at a special "take-out door" when you come by to pick them up. Yes, you have to go pick them up, but you don't need to do any actual inside shopping or loading the groceries. You mentioned that your customers would meet you somewhere and take their groceries from your truck. Here, they would just go to the store for the same thing. Wal-Mart in this area also does this service....as well as the two largest groceries....and maybe more that I don't know about. As I said, though, have no knowledge of your area like you do.
