Perhaps I never needed bedroom furniture, besides a bed without a frame on the floor? I mean, we have a VERY old and barely workable white (well, yellowed through those years) dresser and a couple of those adorable speaker tables for night stands, but that is as far as it goes for bedroom furniture in our home.
Going to friends houses, I now realize that yes, people DO have bedroom furniture, we are just not one of those people…
My dresser could very well be haunted too…
Our Master bedroom could be sooo nice. It has vaulted ceilings, soo tall, and the wall space is amazing! If only I had a few good ideas and MONEY, I could possibly do something fantastic with this room. But then I would need master bedroom furniture, and I am no good at choosing this.. no good! I would end up with ANOTHER old stereo speaker or something similar. I seriously need help in that department.. sigh.
Now you have all seen my bed, in another post (That is IF you are loyal and constantly read my blog…) and my bed does NOT have a headboard..or a frame.. That is just two of the things I do need for my bed. Lots of pondering has been going on, regarding that! Whoosh! So many cutesy, rich looking, fun and just plain outstanding headboards are out there. I did see sleigh beds for sale
at a garage sale one time, and thought, those look very cool. One was wood and the other was wood and metal and I liked that one the best. But the one below, now I LOVE that…
I would be WEAK in my knees if this was MY room, MY bed.. Oh. My. Goodness….
Kay, now that I KNOW what kind of bed I am getting, seriously, I am going to get that bed I swear (after I sell my soul so I can actually acquire the money needed for a bed, that nice..)!! Now I have to figure out what kind of night stand tables to get, dressers (cuz I must have two of them, maybe three and throw out that yellow stained white one…..) then my room will be complete. And then when I have people over, I don’t have to close my door in humiliation!
The cottage style bedroom furniture is what one of my best friends has. Now hers is VERY expensive, and I know I could never pay or get what she has, but, there are also AFFORDABLE pieces that I could DO. You just have to look in all the right places. If only I could find those places…
LOVE this for my boys room….
And this for my girls room…
Now I totally am wanting a new look for ALL of our rooms….
Do YOU have bedroom furniture? Or do you try to wing it like ME?

I think that dresser is kind of neat. I am looking for some more “antique” like items for my daughter’s room.

I finally got a bedroom set 2 years ago.

I had to laugh I had that same dresser!!! I got it free. But as far as my room goes, everything free, and hand me downs. I have had the same bed for 8 years, well I have modified it..We made a platform and removed the box springs, but the mattress is old…
For my boys- I scored free stuff from a place that recieved all the dorm furniture from some of the colleges in the area. So they got “new” used bed, night stands, dressers, and lamps…I was so happy with that score, I was even able to get nightstands for my side of the bed.

My bedroom furniture is literally 100 years old. Its solid oak and well made, I love it and compared to today’s prices I got them for a song. The spare bedroom could use some furniture, it has a desk, bookshelves, and dresser but no bed and nothing matches. I dream about redoing it one of these days.

Bedroom furniture is unbelievably expensive, but don’t sell your soul!
Courtney says
I’m so winging it! We have a bed and that’s it.. So small can’t fit anything else.
Brandy says
I could go on and on forever about what I want and need for bedroom furniture! lol UGH …
Tamara B. says
Have you checked on your local Craigs List? I have found some very beautiful furniture through that way, it looks brand new and paid pennies for it!
Kim says
Yes, we have gotten a few things off of Craigslist. My hubby can find some AMAZING deals on there!
Kelly says
I know lots of people that don’t spend on their bedroom furniture. Life just kind of gets in the way sometimes and other things are more important.
Kim says
Totally!
Kasandria Reasoner says
I’m like you it USED ot be cool, but now we’ve grown out of it. *sigh*

My bedroom furniture used to be awesome, but my son had his way with it.
Kim says
That is what I am afraid of, LOL! Our kids do the same thing!
Joanna says
We seriously wing it too… It’s one of those down-the-road purchases that we are planning!
Mike says
LOL
I can laugh because my house is decorated with pieces –
End tables my parents bought 49 years ago – really, 49 years ago. Who says cheap furniture doesn’t last.
A couch I bought at a yard sale – a sectional, but I only use one section.
A desk that 15 years old and falling apart – can’t open the drawers…
And climax of all this!
A mattress inside a old waterbed frame…
So, don’t feel so bad!
I would rather spend money on my dogs, my ATV, my pickup, match pistols, my computers, etc.
This is an excuse you can use.
Interesting vaulted ceiling. Would it look better with some crown molding? LOL
Kim says
This is HILARIOUS!! I JUST got rid of a mattress we had that was inside of and old waterbed frame, yesterday!! Bwahahaha! I would much rather spend money on other things too!
