I bought a new bed for my birthday last year. I looked for a couple of days, and everything was so dark, heavy, and way too ornate. This is the bed I ended up with, I bought a queen size. I really like the color too, it is dark, but not opressingly so. And I put a lavendar/beige/green quilt on it which helps.

This is Linville, the bed I have.

My brother and his wife have the same set, except it is lighter wood, they really like it a lot.

This is Fontana.

Here is the link to Broyhill, I don't really care for most of their furniture, it is too big, ornate, and dark.

That's very pretty ... and I prefer the darker wood of yours to the lighter wood, though I like both of them.

But this is the sort of thing we were seeing yesterday ...

I had done a lot of looking on-line and saw much of that sort of thing but was surprised to find it in furniture stores, too ... small, locally-owned stores that have been in business for many years.

I just can't imagine what that does to a typical 10 X 12 bedroom ... or even a 12 X 14. YIKES!

And yet these stores must be selling it or they wouldn't be carrying that sort of thing almost exclusively.
