No...Bryn...you are singing my song with this post. Not everything has to be perfect in a room, and I agree, sometimes when you work with it it will make you try harder and it can turn out for the best sometimes. I think your bedroom looks fabulous and the dark wood of the bed is good in my opinion.sherry hartnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3481334885690177821.post-55155410904262072072011-08-28T19:49:04.581-04:002011-08-28T19:49:04.581-04:00I read this post and new I had to comment.

Your update looks great and gives me hope that I can work that sleigh bed into my new style..

I LOVE how it turned out using what we had and not spending any money for now. Itt feels more me/us anyway using personal items that we already had and loved instead of new, trendy things that maybe aren't so me. Does that make sense? Hahahaha. Anyway- Congrats to us that keep it real!Jennhttp://sunsetsandswimmingpools.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3481334885690177821.post-82910871306102627692011-08-25T15:23:18.549-04:002011-08-25T15:23:18.549-04:00Hi Bryn!
