Ever since Mom found a beautiful set of twin beds for the mountain house, we have been on the hunt for just the right piece to go in between them. The room has a window in between the beds, so a chest of drawers would be perfect as long as it is low enough. A small chest of drawers would also serve as useful storage. One day while shopping the antique stores, we found a cute little bamboo trimmed chest that had been painted turquoise. I almost cried - it was adorable. Then we opened one drawer and could never close it again. Phooey. Mom and I both agree that it pays to wait for the right thing to come along rather than settling for something that we don't love. A hard lesson, but one that pays off in the end. I'm sure the right thing will come along in time.
I love a larger single piece placed between two twin beds, good luck on your hunt! You have showcased a FABULOUS collection of rooms with twin beds, makes me want to go design one right now. :)

Rene,
ReplyDeleteLove your photo's! I especially love the photo's that contain simple clean lines. Beautiful!
My dad makes furniture and he taught me this little trick a few years ago. If you take johnson paste wax and rub it on the top edges of the drawer it will prevent it from sticking. It worked with two older dressers, that we couldn't get the drawers closed.
Take care and happy hunting!! Can't wait to see what you find :)

Love the 9th photo with the French style. And love love love that Robin's Egg print. Beautiful
ReplyDeleteOh, I love two matching twin beds--and you're right, they really need something large and fabulous to stand out between them. Good luck in your hunt!
ReplyDeleteThanks Wendy. This drawer was smashed on the inside. The track was missing...we were bummed.

Great inspiration photos! I love the boys brown beachy one! I hope you find what you are looking for. It usually comes along when you aren't looking for it, that little surprise! :) Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteI love those barley twist beds. How cool.
ReplyDeletegood luck! you will find it. i love the idea of a small chest between them- it offers so much more storage. and like janell, i am wanting a room now with a pair twin beds... something to dynamic about the symmetry!
ReplyDeleteGreat images! Can't wait to see what you end up buying!! Hugs,Rachel
ReplyDeleteTwin bedrooms just make you cheery...they remind me of being a kid and having sleep overs...these pics are fabo and I'm gonna share...
ReplyDeleteLove your photo collection of twin beds, Rene!! I'm sure you'll find the perfect piece - patience is a virtue! I have to remind myself that 10,000 times a day when I look at all the unfinished house projects I have - ugh! Good luck w/ your search!
ReplyDeleteAll pretty images. I love the soft yellow room with the gorgeous French doors. Happy hunting for your piece of furniture!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to see beautiful rooms that use twin beds. My grandkids came in sets of two, girl and boy, so no matter what the ages that may visit I need two beds and only have one guest room. Hence twin beds. Great ideas.

I am gushing over the the Robin's Egg painting, not only the art but the entire room.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll find just the right piece, and it will be worth the wait!

I love that table in the seventh pic!!! What gorgeous rooms I can't wait to do this for our kids I think it looks so cute!
ReplyDeleteLuvs!
You have posted so many beautiful beds and different looks. I have a thing for single beds. They look fabulous, especially the one's with a cornice and curtains. Elegant.
ReplyDeleteGreat lesson too! I need to take that to heart.
