New Bed.........Did You Guess Correctly?

So a while back you may remember this post where I was day dreaming about a new bed.

 

I had moved back to the cape cod and needed some new furniture, and this is what I started with:

 

 

 

It is not a terrible space that needs an over haul, but it is definitely a space lacking style and function!

 

Luckily there are several good aspects to this space that I can work with.

 

• The wood trim: My upstairs bedrooms have dark trim...I think a cherry stain. Over the years I have tossed around the idea of sanding and painting the trim white to match the downstairs trim, but even though I love white trim I can't get myself to paint over such nicely done wood work, AND I like the variety of having the darker stain upstairs.
• The wall color:  I love the wall color. I painted the bedroom a few years back before I began blogging, and chose this blue color that I took back to have darkened so its a custom color and I really like it.
• The carpet: The carpeting in my bedroom is a nice neutral cream/beige color. I would prefer  a shaggier carpet or to pull it up and just have the hard wood floors exposed and buy a new rug to go under the bed. All of that sounds like it would be beautiful but I really like the softness and warmth the carpeting adds to a bedroom, so for now it stays.
• The ceilings and lighting: Ok, so once again I have popcorn ceilings in this room. (sigh) If  you have been following along you know that I am in the process of knocking down the popcorn ceiling in my office/mudroom, (big reveal coming soon)and this girl can only handle one popcorn project at a time! As for the lighting, I like the chandelier but wouldn't mind updating it with a new one.  

 

 

For now I needed a new bed, some new bedding, and a new cabinet or shelf for extra storage/organization, and new window treatments.

 

 

The chocolate brown duvet cover and curtains are a bit too dark for the look I am going for now so its time they go!

 

And I am happy to announce that I finally picked out a bed and here she is:

 

  

 

 

She's the Birch Lane copy cat from Overstock.com!

 

Here is the Birch Lane bed and here is mine from Overstock.com.

 

When you compare the two they are almost identical.

 

I love my new bed and can't wait to start shopping for bedding and window treatments soon!

 

 

So did you guess correctly?

Was this the bed you thought I would pick out?

 

What do you think about my space so far?
