Foxes, I can't wait to see how your DDs room comes out! Our "little" girl is a 25 year old career woman in another city now, but loves to come home to visit and stay in her old room. I hope someday she will have a child who can use her furniture--- we have just the chest and coatrack in her room right now, but there are two bookcases and a set of dolls furniture all painted by the same person that are in storage waiting for someday. Our mirrors are amazingly similar! I recently went over ours with gold rub 'n buff just to brighten it up. The glazing is cloudy and watered, which stopped bothering me when they began selling new mirrors like that. Your chandelier also reminds me of ours :) and our DDs bedroom stuff in her apt is PB matin toile in red, which she picked out with no prompting from me..... I feel have Done My Duty by the girl if she voluntarily selects toile!

johnmari...good idea to try the chest there, I'll see how it works. The table is the perfect size and height. Many actual nightstands are too wide but this one is 24" and I can use up to about 26" so its actually perfect. Height is good too. nanny2a, I kinda like mismatch, too, if it works together :-) lacombe, that's my new "winter" quilt. I've never had bedding to change with the seasons but I like the idea and I'm enjoying the change. I feel like the room is so hodge podge but I've gotten so much furniture for elsewhere in the house I'm just inclined to go with it, it works for us. Just wanted to be sure you guys don't think the table would stand out like a sore thumb. I think I like the fact it's not leggy, too, I have plenty of legs in that room. So you think 2 would be ok? Matching lamps on them?

When I was buying a new mattress, I chose a low-profile box spring so that a regular bedskirt would fit, but the night stand isn't as high as the top of the new mattress, so I'm planning to add feet to it. Actually, it has feet but they're inconspicuous and "lifts" could be added without changing the look very much. Most new beds are requiring taller night stands, but that opens up other possibilities: tables of all kinds, small chests, bookshelves - furniture not intended for bedside use, as long as it's the right size.

I think Beverly makes a good point. Maybe you could break up the wood with lamps with a little more presence. A cream base would counteract the darkness of that wall. I think the current ones look more like they belong in a formal living room, but now that you've got the casual duvet and rustic furniture.... I almost hate to mention lamps as they are the hardest thing to do right and you're probably tired of shopping by now!
