Not sure about furniture brands? This pic helps solve the dilemma.
Apologies in advance if this has already been posted/shared, I just came across it in social media. Sherrill Furniture should be added to the Bentley category or at the very least, Cadillac.

Dilemma about cabinets...Please help me...Lots of questions
Comments (38)Just a couple of comments from a kitchen designer, if your sink is going to be undermount and it is 33" you will need a cabinet BIGGER than 33" to contain it. I don't see how you can do this even in custom. Maybe they could do 34" or 35"? It's really awkward to reach stuff on a 30" deep counter not to mention cleaning. 3/4" is definitely preferable for shelving. Another factor is the width of the cabinet. The wider you go the more likely you will have sagging. I'd say absolutely do not go over 36" wide if you're using 1/2" shelves.

Comments (19)I would also suggest that you do not get a matching chair. Getting one that "goes" but isn't matching will help you get a non-cookie-cutter look. Before you get your furniture, plan out the rest of the room as you are doing. As Geokid said, pattern will be very important. If you want light and airy, it is a little tougher due to the wall-to-wall carpeting. I like NSM's picks from Ikea, because they are velvet (to work with the weight of the carpet), but the sofa is not bulky. So, I'd look for a fabric with some heft but in a streamlined form. With carpet, too, I find showing some leg works well. I would pick a sofa OR a chair with a skirt (if you want one at all)-- not both. Also, you may want to reconsider drapes. They are an easy way to bring in pattern and color, but if you have upholstered pieces + the wall-to-wall carpeting, they may feel too heavy.

Comments (5)Do you need that tall white armoire, since you already have the built-in drawers and the large closet? If yes, then I would put the tall dresser where the head of the bed is now. If there is room, I would put the crib on the wall you first suggested, between the window and the built-ins. I would get a changing pad for the top of the built-in and use that as the changing table. It will be very convenient in the middle of the night when you are sleepy to just move to the left and change her, rather than taking her into the bathroom. I would try the rocker and ottoman in the corner where the windows meet. A perfect place to sit with the baby. Congrats on the new addition!...See MoreFurniture painting dilemma, need your help~
Comments (17)"Although I know my DH will have a hissy fit to see this unique type of wood painted." I would too, and probably go right past a hissy into a conniption fit. But, if you absolutely MUST, put two to three coats of clear shellac on and allow it to cure before painting. This will make it SO much easier to strip the paint later on. Still, its sentimental value to your DH as-is is a perfectly valid reason to say no way to painting this particular bed - it makes me grind my teeth to see how often ladies on this and other decorating fora just steamroller right over the feelings and opinions of the males of the household. It's not like curly maple comes along every day, and there are thousands of other beds out there in more generic woods that are perfect for slathering white paint all over. As for the mahogany beds (which are in rather more battered condition, IMO, and thus better candidates for painting although I'd use the shellac trick anyway), you can simply bolt the headboard and footboard onto a standard metal Hollywood frame since the original side rails are unsuitable for use. Cover the ends of the bolts with these traditional bed bolt covers....See Morewildbrat

The KEEPING ROOM
3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoIs this it? I've been a car enthusiast all my life and in the furniture business thirty-five years so I can see the match-ups some. This is a bit dated, some of these companies are no longer around and there are several I would move in or out a level. Maybe it's 80% accurate.
And that Kia brand at the bottom should be replaced with Fiat ! That's an insult to Kia..they actually build a pretty good machine and their new Telluride will put several other brands to shame.

The KEEPING ROOM
3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoI have fond memories of renting a Fiat 500 in Italy and driving it from La Spezia to Maranello / Modena where I spent the day at the Ferrari factory and museum. Originally I had a Alfa Romeo booked, but when I got to the rental car agency at the port the only thing left was a Fiat 500 with a manual gearbox (how typical is that for Italy - "you need a car? we have a car - there it is"). I had the Fiat 500 going flat out over the hills of Tuscany both there and back, don't think I ever lifted. I was so glad I rented the GPS too, I don't read Italian road signs! Of course the best part of that day was when I rented a Ferrari 599 for two hours in Maranello and took to the hilly backroads in it. Now THAT is a car.
My two rentals for that day
