Crate & Barrel Loop Six-Drawer Dresser

2009-07-19T00:35:00.005-05:00

Back in 2002 I purchased one melrose bed and two nightstands from one of my favorite stores, Crate & Barrel. Unfortunately a dresser was not an available accompaniment to the collection, so I have always been on the lookout for one that would compliment it.

It wasn't until recently in which I stumbled upon this Copenhagen Six-Drawer Dresser from Room & Board. Multiple options for wood, base, and pulls would allow me to create a piece that would compliment my melrose bed and two nightstands. Unfortunately it carries a hefty price tag of $1,399.00 (plus delivery and taxes), which I would be more than willing to spend if I had it, but I don't.

On the same day that I went to West Elm with my friend Mark, we also went to Crate & Barrel. I noticed this Loop Six-Drawer Dresser. While I loved the contemporary styling of the piece, I did not love the natural finish, however upon asking if it was available in any other colors I was pleased to be informed that it was also available in an espresso finish. Even though it does not contain as much metal as the Copenhagen Six-Drawer Dresser from Room & Board I think that the pulls would still allow me to create a piece that would compliment my melrose bed and two nightstands. Fortunately it will be $859.90 less than the Copenhagen Six-Drawer Dresser (plus delivery and taxes) after I use my 10% off coupon that I anticipate receiving after my upcoming birthday.

West Elm organic matelasse duvet cover & shams

2009-07-13T00:23:00.002-05:00

After successfully lowering my mattress so it was more in line with my melrose nightstands from Crate & Barrel and replacing my table lamps from Pottery Barn with these grono table lamps from IKEA, the next order of business in my desire to transform my bedroom into a peaceful retreat is to replace my Nautica bedding from Bed Bath & Beyond.

A few weeks ago I went to West Elm with my friend Mark. I originally had my eyes set on this organic cottin pin-tuck duvet cover and shams, but as we were leaving the store I noticed this organic matelasse duvet cover & shams. They have more of a soft and inviting feel that I hope might help in luring a special someone into my bed at some point in the not too distant future *grin*. While it has a vintage look, the geometric stitching gives it a modern flair that I hope will also aid in hiding holes in the event that Mia continues her pattern of destruction of chewing holes in things.

Noble Excellence "Micro Cotton" towels

2009-07-05T17:19:00.008-05:00

Among the list of things I would like to get for the new apartment are towels. When I was at Dillard's last week I came across these Noble Excellence "Micro Cotton" towels and really liked them. I was particularly drawn to the striped detail on the edge of the towels, which gives them a very modern and chic look. Of course my color of choice would be pearl as it would match my shower curtain from Crate & Barrel quite well. I would ideally like to get 6-30"x56" bath towels, 2-20"x30" hand towels, and 4-13"x13" washcloths.

Under 14th Street

My CB2 urban console table would look a little bare sitting there all by its lonesome. I came across this giclee print canvas wrapped on a wood frame as I was browsing Z Gallery. It’s entitled Under 14th Street by Parvez Taj. I am really drawn to it and I think this would look perfect above the CB2 urban console table that I also want to get. Although there are a lot of things on my list I would like to get for the new apartment, this is second from the top .

CB2 urban console table

2009-06-27T22:57:00.013-05:00

Back in 2002 I purchased two trestle side tables and one coffee table from one of my favorite stores, Crate & Barrel. I really wish I would have also ordered the console table as well, but as I had no need for one at the time I didn't. My new apartment features a divider wall between the entryway and bedroom, which is an ideal spot for one. Even though locating the trestle console table appears to be next to impossible, I came across this urban console table from CB2, which has a lot of similarities to the trestle collection. Although there are a lot of things on my list I would like to get for the new apartment, this is at the very top.
