The color scheme looks great. That room has gorgeous windows. Did you have anything on them for light control?

Looking good! I have an old quilt - same pattern and colors. I can't think of the pattern name???

Looks nice! Higher bed will result in pillows blocking the window more. That always bugs me but that's just me. No light control on the windows doesn't bother me though.

“I can't think of the pattern name”

Grandmother’s Flower Garden - maybe

I judge rooms by my comfort level ….I would be extremely comfortable in DD2’s room. Yes to raising the bed.

Beautiful-- love everything!

So charming! Love it.

Maddielee - I think you might be right. At first I thought it was Dresden Plate but I couldn't enlarge it enough to be sure.

I love the soft and comfy atmosphere - very appealing and relaxing.

Very calm and relaxing, just what's needed after a long day.

I think dresden plate is what i was told! This is the room for the twins, yes? So headboard us not in place. i vitecyes to raising bed.

Very pretty, serene and happy. Beautiful quilt.

What a gorgeous space! What would you think of trying the table at the foot on the far side of the bed for another bedside table? Or maybe replace it with an upholstered bench? That is the only thing that doesn’t quite work to me.

Gorgeous room and the room seems like an understated frame to the BEAUTIFUL windows!!

I too would love another bedside table and agree the table somehow doesn't seem to fit at foot of bed. Are you the person that doesn't like footboards? Somehow a contrasting iron footboard would look nice to me. But honestly I hate making the bed with them - I just like the look and how they keep my vintage quilts from falling off the foot of the bed!

Is that a table at the end of the bed? I thought it was a bench. I like benches at the foot of beds and you seem to have plenty of room for one there.

Posting on my phone so brief. Dont have headboard up; there is no footboard. At the foot is a small cane bench we use for luggage in Maine. its the only thing of that ilk i own 2 of. might work better w fluffier throw at foot of bed idk.

And yes lots of room

this is largely for staging so trying not to buy stuff for which i have no need

It's pretty. I would not use the table at the end of the bed either. I would also get rid of the chair at the table between the two beds.

Any chance you have a couple of these laying around ($66 on Amazing) They match the table and you could put that suitcase on one. or a pair of blankets.

I would also put the lamp in the center for equal access and add a pretty bedside water carafe on either side. I know you don't want to buy anything, so these are just to give you . an idea.

People nixed luggage racks on the other thread lol

each side has a lamp for reading anyway … im anti centering

i like the chair (discussed w example in funished room on other thread). i think the room needs it somehow… o/w too empty or too many plain rectangles?

i like carafes!

Hey, arent you supposed to be on a plane lady? prob an evening departure? Are you packed yet. No goofin off.

Cant play with the room anymore today, headed away for w/e. Gorgeous day! Indigenous peoples summer. 😉

Bon voyage Mr & Mrs Jo Joco

The colours are all lovely. I don't love the table/suitcase at the end of the bed, sorry but it looks like an afterthought. I guess though, if you are just staging, anything goes. The architechture in that rooms speaks for itself, you have a truly magnificant home.

Forgot, this is what we have for light control:

I kid you not, none of my kids rooms have any window treatments; and they all use eye shades. The only WT are in the guest room (since I know some people prefer it), and in our MBR suite. The latter because we are on the ground floor and there are a lot of flower beds under our windows. One too many... encounters.

My agent/stager should be happy. They wont have to make me take down anything! Honestly I so prefer nekkid windows, and since we don't need privacy, that is how it has always been. : )

I agree, no reason to invest in WTs, but I do always picture cafes in there. :)

Mtn, have you thought about putting the bed caddy corner? You can raise the bed while not blocking the most gorgeous wall of windows I've ever seen. There's plenty of room for a caddy corner bed and the desk can be next to it, or get two end tables. Lots of options.

We did with both bedroom and LR, and used a floor lamp behind the bed for reading.

What's wrong with a luggage stand, especially for vintage luggage?

I like the quilt as a throw at the foot of the bed. A lot. It adds a lot of charm imo.

I think the lamp might be a bit too tall. Maybe I would like better when the bed is higher, idk. The same might apply to the bench at the end, but for now I agree it doesn't add much. Try the look again when the bed is raised and headboard is up.

No window treatments in our home either. We are on acreage, so no need for privacy, and I love the clean look we have. When our twins were born, we did put a room darkening shade in their nursery because I swear they did not sleep for more than 20 minutes at a stretch before we did!

So this is really just for staging? You can get those plastic bed risers…very inexpensive. We got them for dd’s bed in college so she had more storage underneath. The bed skirt covers them. The rug looks amazing, and the quilr adds the cutest cottage look. Your trim color is gorg…really mskes the architecture pop. I’d buy your house in a skinny minute, but I guess I’d be living with the Jinxes. 😂

Plenty of room for us all, nini! Please tell me you love to cook?

:D

Nini,

We won't be listing until prob next summer, but DD1 and 2 are in their own place and took a most of their stuff. So the primary reason is staging but also, like this weekend, they are both home. May as well do something that works for both.

Bed riser, darn, just gave them to Goodwill not long ago. We prob had a dozen.

Almost sorry everyone likes the quilt so much. If was for my son's nursery; not his bedding, but as a throw for a sofa in his room. Alas I only have one and am in no mood to buy a second... plus I think i need more heft.

Outside, the lamp might be too tall. Hmm, i do have others. But I don't want a little boudoir lamp either, I often see large lamps in these twin-bed rooms (great inspiration pics from KSWL and AKT in the old thread). You are right, too soon to tell about a lot of this.

Oak, this is an update to an old thread; there will be two beds. The piece there is cane topped ( one of two) and *Is* for luggage. I have several vintage suitcases. I also have a bamboo luggage rack, but only one and I want to use 2 of everything. I like the beds in front of the window, it doesnt really block much and there is a *lot* of window.

I know you’ll be AMAZED when I tell you that you can buy risers in an AMAZING assortment of heights. And before you turn around, you will have AMAZZED a huge amount of them. (that last one was a bit of a stretch, wasn’t it?

ETA: I know you love symmetry, but I think you can use complementary quilts on the ends of the beds.

Any chance you might use the quilt as the coverlet and get another one (not matching) for the other bed? Don’t use the white bedspreads and you won’t need to raise the beds. It will have a more vintage look to have low beds in the room.

Thx Mtn, I didn't know this was a follow up thread, and having two twin beds will look much better. The only thing that bugs me is the coverlet edges draped on the floor where bugs, spiders, and oogie boogies can climb. :)

If the quilt is used as a coverlet and the bed is slept in, it will ruin the quilt. Mtn, check out Etsy and ebay for matching quilts and I bet you can find one of the same pattern. I love pastel quilts.

Lots and lots of Grandmother's garden quilts

Oak,

The only thing that bugs me is the coverlet edges draped on the floor

Yes, of course....as it says right in the first post, the beds are too low for the bedspread and that will need to be addressed. Thicker mattress, higher frame, wheels, IDK

If the quilt is used as a coverlet and the bed is slept in, it will ruin the quilt.

How so? It has been used and washed many times.

Interesting so much focus on the quilt! Just an old thing I grabbed to put at the end of the bed for when DD2 arrived tonight. I guess I could look for another. Hold the hate, but I think quilts really read dated and fussy and are actively disliked by many. I also have no need for one. Two throws, if I pick the right color, could be useful in Maine. I also think throws at the foot of a bed should be nice and thick, kind of mimicing the volume of the pillows at the other end.

LOL BBSTX, point taken

Any chance you might use the quilt as the coverlet and get another one (not matching) for the other bed? Don’t use the white bedspreads and you won’t need to raise the beds. It will have a more vintage look to have low beds in the room.

Oh, they are not white, they are a tan and white mattress ticking which I like a lot in person and can re-use. I do prefer cast iron beds when they are open underneath .... but, as I said in the old thread, that only works if the bed frame, which is then visible, is attractive. Not the case here.... and I may even need to hide risers.

I dont think the lamp is too tall at all! i like big lamps. If you had another little desk, it would be cute to put both between the beds…unique and useful!

ps…I am a horrid cook, roommate Jinx! I am happy to work in the gardens, and I am also good at mixing cocktails! 😍😂

A set up with twin/desk/twin will be the perfect size to match the width of the windows. I think two desks, especially if they don't match .. would look odd?

Here are examples:

Oh hey, BTW, i am totally game for painting the little cane stools...

I think unmatched desks side by side would not give the look you are trying to achieve. It would mess with my need for order and symmetry.

Well, plus, it would not fit well. And who/what are these desks for?

How do we know lamp is too tall when the headboards are installed yet? I like the new bedding - agree to buy new risers. Also to buying new throws that can be used in Maine. The chair seems too chunky (crowding?), and I don't think you necessarily have to have it at the desk. I would put elsewhere in the room. Once you put the vintage suitcases on the stools they will be fine.

I love your room! Those windows and the trees... so beautiful. I think that table is the perfect width as it sits very symmetrically under the middle window. Whatever you decide to use will be beautful.

I agree with you about the heft for whatever you put at the foot of the bed. Perfect rug as well! I love the colors.

Once you are set on the bedframe, can’t the bedspread be hemmed? Typically, the shabby chic bedspreads kiss the floor, but am not sure of your puddling tolerance. I do think these type of bedspreads demand a mattress topper or something to poof up the spread . Very cozy, makes one want to jump in.

Using the quilt won't ruin it. The similar quilt I have was made by my great-grandmother, MANY years ago. During the winter, I add a quilt to our bed (not as a coverlet, to cover with). The quilt was made by my husband's grandmother and given to us when we married and will see it's 41 year come February. It is not ruined.

I like the desk and chair between two beds. I don't think the lamp will be too big once you get the other pieces in the room. I'm hoping once the beds are raised, the benches will work.

Hold the hate, but I think quilts really read dated and fussy and are actively disliked by many.

No hate, but I have to disagree. If you look at cottage style decor, etc. you will see a love for quilts. I think quilt(s) would look good in your home. I know you are styling for staging, but honestly, don't think too much about what others dislike. Whatever you use, some won't like.
