Re: ~~ Dressers and Night Stands ~~

My nightstands are the ONLY things that match in my bedroom! I have an iron fourposter bed, a chest that we bought unfinished and stained ourselves, an antique secretary that I cleaned up, and a cedar chest. All the wood finishes except for the cedar chest are in the same "medium oak" tone. I haven't had a matching set of bedroom furniture in 40 years!

 

Living room is the same...the only matching things are the end tables. Upholstered pieces are all different from each other.

 

Now, I do have a matching dining room table/chairs/china cabinet, but I have two smaller cabinets in there that are different. My kitchen table was built by my DH, and the stools under it are antique drafting stools.

 

It all works!

Re: ~~ Dressers and Night Stands ~~

We have two dresssers that match and two nightstands that don't match either the dressers or each other.  But they are all done in cherry wood so I feel like they go together nicely.  I have seen rooms with totally unrelated pieces that look good too.  If you find a set that you really like and it all matches, there's nothing wrong with that.  Do what makes you happy.
