To Match Or Not To Match??

I am trying to find 2 night stands for our master bedroom and really fighting the urge to make all the furniture match my new mahogany chest of drawers I got last week. (Click Here to See)

I have had a tendency in the past to make everything very symetrical and very matchy matchy. That's boring so I'm trying to break out of my normal tendency to match everything.

I just don't know if I like 2 unmatching/unsymetrical night stands. Maybe this is too much of a stretch for me at this point, not sure.

(update 1/20/2010 ): sorry I didn't mention it before, but this is not my bedroom...just one I found to look at to see if I liked the unmatching/unsymetrical night stands & to get your opinions.

What do ya think?
Do your night stands match??

Make a Pottery Barn Stratton Bed

I have been wanting the Stratton Bed from Pottery Barn for our master bedroom for awhile, but not willing to spend $1000 for it! I knew it would be something hubby could make (if he had the time).

Well I just got a friendly email from Ana who is a furniture designer that creates plans to make furniture knockoffs from Pottery Barn, West Elm, and Restoration Hardware. She has all the plans to make the PB Stratton bed on her blog for FREE!!! This $1000 bed ends up only costing $200 to build! WooHoo!!!

I think with that kind of savings I can talk hubby into building this for me...maybe as a Christmas present for me! Hint Hint Hubby (just in case you read my blog) LOL

and in case you haven't heard......

I'm hosting the 2nd annual Christmas Cookie Recipe Party!

It will be held the every friday in December until Christmas.

Please take this button to put on your blog to spread the word.

Thanks!!
