White or White Wash Wicker for guest bedroom?
Comments (10)kswl, your post came at a perfect time. I slept so poorly an had a dream that I bought the white wicker dresser and added white crochet runners to the sides of the book cases to make them go better and added a white framed picture on the other side of the room. I am in the middle of so many deadlines and not sleeping at night from back and neck pain and now I seem to have this need to have my home neat and looking nice in all rooms and not just my beautiful Master bedroom that now is all matching. I do not have the cherry wood here in person and it could be a different shade also and not match and will hold less clothes and then if I move and the set is discontinued then maybe I will not be able to add more pieces of furniture. I think you are right that my first impression that the wicker dresser is grown up looking, fresh and pretty and is very versatile in matching other colors and adding on white wicker pieces in the future is doable if I ever move. The dresser will fit that wall and if I take all the plastic drawers out from the middle of the room and that wall, it may look nice and not overwhelmingly too big for the room. I can make other parts of the room match the white wicker dresser by adding white in other places. I wish I was not in the middle of these deadlines so I could take pictures and post them but I am overwhelmed as it is in getting done my work and have been second guessing my decision which was based on finding out that I was not allergic to the white wicker hampers I bought from Fran's wicker and found out I loved the white wicker in my laundry room. Then I thought that maybe I should just get a wicker dresser in my spare room from this place that has wicker that is not outgassing like other places. Then I saw the size of the drawers of this set and they gave me 12% off and since I live in driving distance from the store, I could save on shipping. Then I saw on their website that the White Wash finish was a color I had not considered so I got confused if I should switch to the white wash finish and put the order on hold until I get a chance to go to the store. Hence, I shared the pictures I sent to the list with a friend last night and she felt I needed a cherry dresser. But to buy a solid wood cherry dresser usually takes ordering from a retailer that orders from a special company that could take weeks and may not give me a good price on one piece of furniture....See Morequilting space vs second guest bedroom
Comments (22)Frhomez1, another thought came to me about this. You don't mention whether you have others living there. If it were just me living here I wouldn't think anything about leaving my hobby out in the "common" areas of the home. But I have DH who although he supports my having hobbies and thinks they are wonderful, I don't think he would like them being in his face all the time in the living/kitchen/dining areas. Just the same if he had a hobby I wouldn't want it in my face either. Just a thought. Knitting and crochet are easily put aside in a basket, etc. in the living room but it's different with a sewing machine, cutting table and stacks and/or bins of fabrics and supplies. When I'm in the middle of a project it gets messy, no way would I want to have to clear it out all the time. And I wouldn't expect DH to want to look at it, either....See MoreTrying to decide on guest bedroom ideas
Comments (8)I like the 2nd one better. the darker palette seems more in keeping with today's floral trend, whereas the first pic looks like something my grandma would have chosen in the 80s. the scalloped edge doesn't bother me. I think it's because the other items in that room are not very girly. the simplicity of the sisal rug offers a counterbalance. also note how uncluttered the room is in general. as for the wall color, I feel like we need more info. can you post pics of your guest room? I'm curious to know what color the flooring is, and what you're thinking for other accessories....See MoreGuest Bedroom Chandelier
Comments (2)IMO there is no rule but to answer I need to see the room . This light seems to not provide much light for a room that size and to see the room will also tell me your style . Even if I do not use the overhead light all the time in my bedroom I still use it for when I clean , the room so for me that fixture would be use less, As fir the size of this one I would do the larger and at least make sure the bulbs are LED 4000K...See Moremcg2429
