Anyone with black bedroom furniture, like/dislike?
Comments (17)An old client of mine did just that...her floors are wide honey pine planks, and we did a mostly blue and white scheme with creamy yellow-ivory walls, and I had all her simple mismatched wooden furniture spray-painted (my painter has a booth and a commercial spray apparatus) semi-gloss black. Her things included a simple four-poster bed, two different night stands, a dresser, and a blanket chest, and we did everything except the blanket chest, which we had painted a worn barn red-brown. We replaced the hardware with aged (not "antiqued") brass, and added an old dark natural wicker rocking chair and a big old brass kindling bucket for magazines. I'm sorry I don't have photos to share, because it looks great (if I do say so!) I would caution against flat black. It looks dull, and because the finish is a bit "toothy," it grabs and holds not only the dust, but also the lint and fibers from everything you use to dust it with. I also don't usually like to use lacquer unless you are sure you will never chip it, or get anything like oil or alcohol on it. Too fragile for simple living....See MoreDoes anyone have any La-z-boy furniture?
Comments (17)This is the La-Z-Boy "Van Buren" recliner we're getting for the TV room. I believe it also comes with curvy legs. DH insists his chair be leather, but I can pick the color. This is the La-Z-Boy "Pinnacle" loveseat. I plan to get it in a fabric. Both sides recline. There is a lumbar support that moves with you as you recline. It's also a "wall-hugger." And this is the matching La-Z-Boy "Pinnacle" recliner that I will get in the same fabric as the loveseat. It will be mine. The single recliner comes as a wall-hugger, or a glider/recliner, or a swivel recliner. I still have to pick the fabrics. That's the hard part! The Pinnacle line also has a sofa, but there's not room for on in my small TV room. We're opting for maximum comfort in this room. There will also be an older rocker/glider with gliding ottoman that Harry and I share....See Morefurniture wood? + wall paint color suggestions
Comments (12)I’m not an expert by any means, but the lovely dresser looks like maple to me. You could take a drawer to a furniture refinisher and he could probably tell you what it is. The beautiful floor resembles a knotty pine. It could be alder, or ... My oak floors are 63 years old. They are beautiful, too. Are they perfect; no! Are they scarred; yes! Scuffed; yes! Worn and lived in? Yes! They have a patina that cannot be duplicated except with 63 years of wear and tear. I sweep them with a broom, or vacuum them, and occasionally mop them with vinegar and water. NO Scott’s Liquid Gold; no “wood cleaners.” My dogs do not wear rubber nail covers, and the neighbor’s kid can play trucks on them anytime he wishes. I love my floors; they are nice enough for the Queen to visit. I know she is used to a bit of dog hair! Enjoy your lovely room and furnishings. As for paint, I’m partial to greens of all shades and all the rich jewel-toned colors myself. I know I am the only non-grey person living, but if I see yet another room with grey walls, grey ceiling, grey upholstery, grey rugs, maybe an oversized brown chair, white trim and the “amazing ‘pop’ of electric blue” I think I’ll scream - but that’s just me!...See MoreCan mirrored furniture and solid wood furniture go together?
Comments (31)Of course they can go together :) Here's a sleigh bed that would work much better with mirrored side tables or dresser: <div><a rel='follow' href='https://www.houzz.com/products/lissette-sleigh-bed-parisian-white-queen-prvw-vr~64641346' target='_blank'><img src='https://st.hzcdn.com/simgs/f9212b0107c5df8e_8-2489/transitional-sleigh-beds.jpg' alt='Lissette Sleigh Bed, Parisian White, Queen' border=0 width='500' height='344' nopin='nopin' ondragstart='return false;' onselectstart='return false;' oncontextmenu='return false;'/></a></div><div style='color:#444;'><small><a style="text-decoration:none;color:#444;" href="https://www.houzz.com/products/sleigh-beds" target="_blank">Shop sleigh beds on Houzz</a></small></div> Ashley Furniture Jorstad King Upholstered Sleigh Bed, Grey · More Info How do you like this option?...See MoreRelated Professionals
