Thanks guys! ttodd - the bed did not come with the bird - I bought it at the North Penn craft show a few years ago - it is a concrete lamp finial. I never found a lamp that suited it, so I stuck it on the bedpost. Last year, it was bugging me that I only had 1 bird, so I tracked down the artist (he no longer exhibits at North Penn) and bought 3 more to match. So now I have birds on all 4 posts. Some days I like them, some days I think they look stupid, but I'm too lazy to move them so there they stay, LOL! movinginVA - our house is actually pretty big (3K sq ft) but our bedroom is pretty small - it's 11 x 14. I actually prefer it as it means our other bedrooms are a decent size -- so many of the homes we looked at had enormous master bedrooms and then teeny tiny kids' bedrooms - it was kind of crazy! Anyhow, we do a walk-in closet but it is kind of small as well at maybe 6x8 feet (though, coming from a 200 year old house where the only closet was about 1ft x 2ft, our "small" walkin is like paradise, LOL!) But we definitely can't fit all our clothes in the closet, so we use both dressers by the bed, as well as another big dresser and the chest at the end of the bed. I recently bought an armoire for the other corner of the room and while I'm a little concerned that the room now looks kind of heavy with 5 big "case pieces" in there, I decided I'd rather have the storage than, say, a chair or something in the corner instead. But I've been needing to change the curtains (they're now being crowded by the armoire) so I've been wanting to post pics of my room and ask advice for a couple months now. Your question is the kick in the pants I needed - I'll try to take some tomorrow. But in the meantime, here's a description - our bed is queen size, the dressers on either side of the bed are about 30" wide and that makes up the 11ft wall. The chest at the end of the bed is a huge blanket chest - basically as wide as the bed and probably close to 3 feet deep. I love it. The wall to the left if you are laying in the bed is basically all windows and the wall to the right is a doorway to the hall where the closet and bathroom are, so there is pretty much nothing on those walls. Then the wall opposite the bed has a window in the center (with a dog crate under it - ugh!), a large empire-style antique dresser (about 4.5 feet high) to the left of the window and the new antique armoire to the right. So again, two big hulking case pieces that combined provide a ton of storage (but probably do crowd the room a bit.) I will try to take pics tomorrow and post them, since I did want to get some advice from the folks here on window treatments. But thanks for asking!

Wow, you guys ROCK! I expected/hoped for "go with metal, not wood" but I got awesome selections :) Pal- I love the hospital-esque cabinets, they would be dog proof and both DH and I used to work in hospitals eons ago. So these would be a nod to that. Yayagal & Cyn427 - from CB2 I like Proof, too. I wish it came in black or charcoal, the dulled stainless is pretty but might be too bright. The Harvey cube in charcoal could work and it's really inexpensive. That would leave adequate cash to get some king of storage box for the bottom shelf Fun2BHere - the MCM teak tables are gorgeous but still a little blocky - and at $1500 i would have to love them unconditionally ;). The cubes were amazing, the teak on those just glowed. Wow. They were a steal, too, at $680 for the pair. The metal cabs you linked were ... In a word ... Perfect! I loved that they would add some color to the space and loved the proportions (a little tall, but I could maybe make it work). The only issue I have with them is the price, for $1500 I would have expected the seller to clean up some of that oxidation. But you know what? I would spend that on something I loved and thought was worth it (these would be, if they were cleaned up). I think that's the upper limit, though. Psychologically I have a hard time spending more on the nightstands that the bed (even though there is more work involved to make a nightstand, I bet). I think I'm going to start scouring Craigslist for metal typing tables, though. After seeing the one Fun2BHere linked to, I noticed some have different brackets on the bottom that could support a wooden shelf (I can make a shelf, right?). At least for my side of the bed ... I like the industrial + feminine legs + nod back to when women were secretaries or nurses. It makes me chuckle (an ironic, "you have no idea how much progress didn't happen because of your narrow minded ways, you idjits" kind of chuckle). Thanks again, you guys are awesome!

OMG - what a goofball I am. I have been working so many hours and am so short on sleep - sorry I didn't include the link for the lamp. It would center over the bed, so the art would move. It is a bit on the modern side, but I think might be very cool in your space: giclee retro lamp You can see that they have the shade for sale alone, as well as other styles of the lamp with the shade at the bottom of the page. I like how it picks up your colors, including the taupe/beige squares that echo your bedding and window treatments. Do look at their selection of lamps. Many have free shipping, and they have tons of plug-in wall lamps that don't have to be hardwired to work. Seeing your floor plan, I would be inclined to flip the bed to the opposite wall, and let the dresser be on the wall by the closets. Seems like you could put the dresser a bit to the left on that wall, and still fit in a nice chair in the corner near the window. Thanks for moving the pillow! LOL

Going in the total opposite direction. the room is dark wood with white/cream tones. I'd add a pinch of glam with a black/darker tone and mirrored nightstand. Mount taller rectangle mirrors very simple beveled frameless (or simple framed) 4" above the nightstand with glass lamps and white shades. A pretty silver clock with Roman numerals and some simple decor... naturally, white flowers in a vase on her side :) 3 Drawer Nightstandby BestMasterFurniture 31'' H x 32'' W x 18'' D
