Bedroom Wish List

No, not that kind of bedroom wish list... my bedroom furniture wish list!  ;)

Right now, we have three bedrooms, but only one bed. Our master bedroom is looking moderately swanky, but our guest bedroom is looking a little lackluster (to say the least).

Our current bedframe is from Ikea and Jordan bought it over a year ago for his on-a-budget bachelor pad apartment. It's great, but we both definitely want something a little more stylish for our room. So we're hoping to move our that bedframe (and the sort-of matching Target nightstands from my college apartment) to the bedless guest room, and Jordan wants to build us a new bed! He's got the blueprints ready to go and has made some progress.

I'm excited to see how it turns out! In my mind it will turn out somewhat like this:


                                                                     (via West Elm)

That's probably a stretch, but how cool is this bedframe from West Elm?! Once the bed is finished, we will need new nightstands too. Dreaming we could have these matching beauties:

And our current dresser is mine from my childhood. It's even more nostalgic because it was my mother's as a child, and my parents had it refinished for me.

I love it, but it's wood veneer finish is definitely showing some wear and tear. P.S. I learned the difference between laminate and wood veneer furniture here (before I had no clue why my dresser was chipping in such a strange way).

The plan is to sand the chipping finish off and either stain it (if the wood below the veneer will allow) or repaint it (maybe a daring color like this). But I can't say I wouldn't love to replace it with the matching West Elm dresser:

We also need to spice up the room with a nice rug, and I love this lovely piece:

Ahhhhh... Dreaming is so nice. If only, if only. Until we can afford all of this, though, we're excited to pinch our pennies by doing our own DIY versions of these pretties. We'll keep ya posted!
