We are looking for good quality, safe children's bedroom furniture for our six year old. Our local furniture store is featuring InRoom furniture, a "young" company with furniture made in Indonesia. We have also looked on-line at Bunk-and Loft Factory which appears to be made in the USA. Has anyone had any experience with these companies or can recommend sturdy, good quality non-toxic kids bedroom furniture companies? Thanks very much.

Believe it or not, decent looking ceiling fans exist. On every design show I've ever seen they're the first things to be thrown out, but I have them in every bedroom. Mmm slight draft at night without the sound of floor fan... I pspent no fewer than 18 weeks looking (off and on) for a "pretty" one to go in my master. I have lived with a 4 poster bed. My experience - unless you have really high ceilings, and I'm talking like 10 ft, and a sizeable room, it will turn your space into... tiny. Once upon a time in a previous life I thought I had a big bedroom until I put a poster bed in there. I like your computer nook. I always wanted a space like that, which I could separate from the rest of the room with some romantic drapery tied back. I might force that idea on my formal dining room. :) beds/headboards coverin ga window do bother me. I don't like anything to cover a window (couch, table, or otherwise) -- but that's just me. And if it came down to a queen bed, or covering that window, sure - the window would get covered! We have single panels on our two bedroom windows, mostly because they're skinny and it looked silly to me to have two panels. If you need to cover the window, something that seems to help (at least when I've seen it done) is to pull the bed away from the wall a foot or so. Then you can go with two panels, and it looks kind of intentional instead of "didn't have space." Something else to keep in mind with blocking windows -- does the sun come directly in such that it would fade your bedding over time?

Hi there, maybe I am not using the correct terminology, this is actually some sort of a support beam that cannot be removed. Anyway, it does complicate furniture design, and is bugging me in terms of proportions and alignment with the bed. Moving the bed around is not an option, as it would make the traffic flow way too complicated. I am still unsure whether or not to have a tv, but either way if we put it in the niche it will not be centered. Here are some more pics of the space. I do not want to make structural changes at this point (we've just painted the walls etc., done changes to the electricity outlets etc.) View from the door (the opening to the side is the future walk-in closet) Bed + accent wall

There's nothing limiting about black furniture--it's a neutral and you can do any color with it. Here are some really pretty and colorful bedrooms with black beds. As you can see, they use natural materials, colorful wallpaper, rugs, window treatments, wall color, and accessories to liven up the rooms. You can also pair black with brown furniture as long as there's enough contrast. Whether you keep your dressers is up to you. If you need the storage space, then keep them. As long as they fit the dimensions of the room, they're fine, even if you don't need them for storage. But you could also use other furniture if you like--a reading chair with a table and lamp, a bench, a desk and chair. Depends on the size and configuration of the room. You might want to post a scale drawing of the room for us to help you further.
