My Bedroom With New Dressers
Today I’m showing you my bedroom with new dressers I’d already told you about ordering.
I got a call yesterday that the glass I ordered to put on top of my new dressers was ready. (To protect the wood’s surface).
They put them in the car for me and Steve brought them inside.
I’d been waiting to show the new dressers to you until I got the glass put on top.
I stayed with the color palette I originally had in here. And I hadn’t really changed much of anything since moving in.
I used the same artwork, except for two new canvases I bought from Amazon.
I started this post a while earlier. But when I got around to writing it, my internet wasn’t working. Which has been happening a lot lately since the storm in June.
Or a neighbor walks in, and of course I don’t want to be rude. So I put this laptop down to talk to them.
An internet cable technician was here on Saturday. And again this morning replacing a line outside. My internet has been very spotty the last couple of months.
When I don’t have internet, I don’t have a home phone. And sometimes not even a cell phone.
Anyway, the neighbor is gone and I’m going to try to get this post cranked out!
Loving My New Dressers:
I’m so, so pleased with these two new small dressers! They each weigh about 98 pounds, so I won’t be attempting moving them.
They were placed there by the delivery men and they shall stay there.
Whenever I need a piece of furniture again, I’m going to look online at this store called Living Spaces again.
The delivery went wonderfully. Guys were on time. They brought the dressers in fully put together and placed them where I wanted.
Best of all, I finally have drawer storage space.
When I left Texas, I left the bedroom furniture behind and I’ve needed storage ever since.
I really wanted to find vintage dressers. I’ve been looking for them the entire time I’ve lived in Tulsa, which is close to 12 years now. And haven’t been able to find them.
It would have helped if I’d been able to walk into antique malls and such more. But I’ve been limited on that front.
I’ve been using the triple sheet method of making my bed ever since I wrote about it a few weeks ago.
It’s the perfect solution for me, since my washing machine simply isn’t big enough to launder larger linens.
That quilt you see? You may think it’s new, but it isn’t. It’s the other side of a quilt I already had.
Neutral Curtains:
These are the new black out curtains I purchased. I chose what looks to me like an oatmeal color, and I really like them.
I ordered them from Amazon.
I don’t often buy quilts with a print on them, but this was one. And I decided it was time to use the other side.
I’m using the table lamps I already had.
What is new are the dressers and the curtains. And a couple of canvas wall prints on either side of the bed.
The two canvases have serene scenery and is perfect for a bedroom.
The dressers are high quality and the drawers slide out easily. They are made quite well.
I think I’ve only owned one dresser that the drawers slid out like a dream!
They were made with something called dovetail construction. Which, I admit, I knew next to nothing about until now.
They should be very durable.
Dovetail Drawers:
Dovetail drawers are the highest form of quality in drawer joinery, according to what I read. This joint method employs a woodworking technique that looks like a jigsaw puzzle.
A series of interlocking wedges made from wood join each piece of the drawer joints together, creating a secure and durable gliding mechanism.
My Bedroom Chair:
My chair, which was on the other side of the room until now, is now right by the window. There is a standing lamp and a place to put a drink next to it.
It’s so nice to see the outdoor scenery. Which I feel that I’ve improved greatly since I moved in a year and a half ago.
People love my yard. If I’m outside, they often stop to tell me that.
And I worried I wouldn’t be able to have a garden in the shade!
The landscaping I had done was so worth it.
I finally have the bedroom I’ve always wanted. Space to put my things so I’m not taking up valuable closet shelf space.
I’m very pleased with how things turned out. Even if it did take me nearly 12 years to find the dressers.

It all look beautiful, Brenda! I love the dressers and entire room it just perfect. The lamps are gorgeous. It’s hard to find good lamps like that. Your view of the outdoors is very nice as well. Enjoy it all!
Looks lovely Brenda💕
Love the new dressers, Brenda. Very pretty and classy looking. Good idea to put glass on the tops. Another idea is to use vintage dresser scarves or runners.
Your bedroom must be a good size; I could never fit all that furniture in our bedroom, especially a chair. I think our bedroom is only 12 x 15.
I didn’t know you had patio doors in your bedroom. I thought they were in the living room. So you have two sets of patio doors? Do they lead to the same patio?
Great choice, the dressers look really nice in your room. I love the quilt too!
Love it. Looks very cozy and serene. I am drawn to neutral colors because there is less likelihood one will get tired of it – and if you do, you have the freedom to change it up with pillows or wall art, plants, etc.
I love it, love it all!!! Those curtains look to be the same exact color I have in my bedroom except mine are back-tabs. Very peaceful!
I think you’ve nested.Nice neighbors, pretty spot,you seem to be in a good place emotionally!
The bedroom is gorgeous! So serene,perfect spot to cover up with a throw and Ivy,of course and read…or whatever.
ENJOY!ENJOY! ENJOY!
Brenda, I love your new dressers! They look great in your room, and you will love the extra storage! They’re pretty and practical.
Your room looks absolutely beautiful. Everything really does go together to make such a lovely space. Enjoy!
Where did you move the cat trees? Your room looks wonderful.
Lovely!
Thank you!
Are you satisfied with your bedroom’s white walls? I’ve always been one to paint my homes with soft colors. But this new house gets no sunlight. In my living/dining room, the nightlights stay on even during the daytime. I don’t think anything less than white walls will liven up this room. But I’m just afraid white will look too stark.
Maybe try an off-white.
Love those dressers! Your bedroom is a very peaceful space. I love it.
I wanted a tranquil place to go when the guy upstairs has his TV roaring. It isn’t as bad in the bedroom.
Oh Brenda!! It looks so cozy…so peaceful!!!
Here’s to many wonderful moments in this haven!!
By the by…if you do not mind me asking….how much were the glass tops? I have been wanting for years to get some for my wood furniture, but have no idea how or where to order them from…so any advice would help!
Hugs,
Nina
I didn’t consider them cheap. After taxes they were almost $80. But the tops of the dressers have this chalk-like surface, so I knew they would get scratched up. Just call a local glass company and give them your measurements over the phone and they will give you a price.
Thanks!
Brenda, what a lovely bedroom, and view to the garden. Worth the time to shop for what you exactly wanted. Beautifully decorated…..
I love it. The whole room and the view to the outdoors.
Brenda, your bedroom looks like something out of a magazine! It is absolutely beautiful!
That’s exactly what my PT guy said, Greg.
“God works in mysterious ways”
The best thing that ever happened to you was getting out of that bad apartment with no friendly neighbors and finding this great place. The friendly neighbors are the cherry on top. Your bedroom looks like a five-star hotel!
I agree with you 100% Ana! So happy for Brenda!
I am certainly much more social here.
What a beautiful space you have put together!! And how lovely you have neighbors dropping by to visit.
I never had neighbors drop by to visit before. At least not in a very long time.
Brenda, your bedroom looks lovely! Enjoy
Oh I’m enjoying it!
The dressers are beautiful and are a perfect solution for your storage problem. The next time you’re looking for artwork for the wall, don’t buy the generic, mass produced canvases. You enjoy taking photos. Instead, use 1 of your own photos and have in printed onto canvas. There are many companies that print on canvas. I have used Easy Canvas Prints any times with wonderful results. Some of my canvas include a family portrait, flowers from my garden and the view from the top of a mountain while hiking. The company I mentioned runs special pricing several time a year and I have spent around $20 for a large custom canvas.
Will check into this.
I can see a picture of Ivy smiling at down at you! I love this suggestion!
Ooooh Brenda love, love your dressers. Your bedroom is gorgeous as usual you’ve done a beautiful job.
It’s so serene and calming in there.
I really like your new dressers and the fact that they are also serving as nightstands is perfect for the room! Drawers are like pockets: you can never have too many! Your garden is very pretty and I am glad you took on the challenge! It was waiting for you!
This time last year, I didn’t think I’d ever have the beauty I currently see in my garden.
You’ve created a lovely room and the new dressers are very handsome!
It helped that the dressers were discontinued or I wouldn’t have paid full price. As it was, I saved $400.
Your bedroom is so
relaxing. The dressers are just perfect for your room. And how special you can look out on your patio.
I have a bench my husband built me many years ago. It sits on my front porch. He made it with all dovetailed joints. Not a single nail in it. Let me tell you that thing is so heavy!!
Enjoy your dressers❣️
I don’t know much about carpentry. So this means there’s no nails securing it?
Yes. And that is a good thing. The dovetail construction is much stronger and will last longer than nails. It sounds like you purchased a quality piece.
I am so glad you are liking the outside work you had done. I knew you would learn to love the characteristics of THIS place. I had to learn to love my quirky yard years ago. Now, with some landscape work, it is one of the best things about this property.
Oh your bedroom is lovely. The colors all tie in so nicely. And the patio doors let in such nice light. Great place to sit and read. It’s pretty and relaxing. Looks like you found the perfect curtains too.
I didn’t show the wall where you walk in the bedroom from the hall because I’m not finished with it. I need to repaint sections of that dresser I used to have next to the bed with the green crushed oregano paint color. But I’ll have to wait until Kendra is in Lowes and can get it for me.
I love your new bedroom arrangement and color choices. It is so serene and peaceful. The new bureaus fit the scheme perfectly. And how nice to have a chair by the window where you can sit and read or just enjoy your garden. You’ve created a soothing atmosphere everywhere you look. Love it!
At first I thought they were too modern, but now I see that yes, they fit right in.
