Loves2read it sounds like your vacation house has much the same vibe going on. I absolutely love (and envy) that you found a faux bamboo set-- I watch for those kinds of pieces (even before the MCM house) on ebay. There seems to be a lot of it in the mcm/hollywood regency style available in FL. My biggest issue in needing to change out much of my furniture is that much of it is english country cottage/library-esque. It just doesnt mix well with the mcm vibe-- especially in scale. That said, I think thoughtful planning will let me go step by step through the house as time and budget allow. I know the kitchen will have a sleek modern look if not MCM.. and when I redo the kitchen, I plan to get the MCM dining table of my dreams. The office is going that direction now.. so trying to bring a little into the bedroom makes sense if I can find the right pieces. The main living space is my biggest challenge. I'd have to replace everything-- and I intend to-- but it won't happen overnight. I want to be thoughtful about it too-- because I want a warm cozy mid century look vs one that is very modern. Is there such a thing as mid century cottage LOL? No really, what I want is a layered look vs austere. I've seen a few designers do this BEAUTIFULLY with a few iconic pieces. That's how I'd want to go too. I've strayed off the bedroom topic-- but wanted to address your post and to thank you!! Would love to see photos of your vacation house. Here's a small peak at the swirled ceiling throughout the house. The photo resolution doesnt do it justice. It's all hand done and beautiful if you like that kind of thing. Originally I'd wanted to undo it-- but I am warming up to embracing it (especially since my grandfather did it all by hand).

I know this post should probably go in the Furniture section but need to make a decision on this relatively soon. I am interested in 2 lines of furniture, Cresent Moderne Loft and American Drew Tribeca. We are only interested in dressers at this point. Can anyone tell me what the quality is like? I've seen another collection from Cresent and even though it's made in Vietnam, it seems very well made and claims to be solid wood with no veneers. American Drew used to be a good name but like other companies, now is made in China. I haven't been able to find a local dealer with this set. It is made of cherry veneers and select hardwoods. When someone says that I believe it's made of a variety of wood and not necessarily all cherry. Can anyone comment on these lines? We are looking for clean, modern lines in darker wood. Thanks!

-doesn't look too contemporary 'cause Ming legs, bone hardware -not too fussy-not polished, inlay, etc -better price point -I got 2 dark nightstands(after years of Craigslist searching I must add)-I love them. No, not Barbara Barry for Baker Furniture..but nice enough. https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/tanah-three-drawer-dresser?color=020&quantity=1&size=S&type=REGULAR https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/tanah-nightstand?category=furniture-nightstands&color=020 shipping is the same no matters how many items you buy As for the sizes-yep, Room and Board is great with sizes, customization and all..never bought, just heard so..

The wood is dark. If you paint the wall a dark color, the contrast will be lost. Create a lighter headboard ofmy choose a darker wall color. The matching bedroom set is overwhelming in its details. Alter the look of the headboard with a DIY project. First, change the shape of the headboard by wrapping it in 1 inch foam (front and back). You could use packing tape to hold the foam together and spare the headboard from damage, or use spray adhesive to the wood itself. The folded foam will give you a rectangular shape. Next, wrap the foam with cotton batting to prevent any color show-through. Sew a big pillowcase-like cover for your head board. You could choose fabric in a store, or perhaps use a pair of faux-silk drapes at HomeGoods. You don't need a sewing machine to do this, just a needle and thread, (tape measure, chalk or light pencil line on the "wrong side of the fabric" , and pins to hold the two sides together. In this link, the person made a new headboard, but the idea is the same. https://angelarosehome.com/diy-upholstered-wingback-headboard-for-80/
