Happy belated birthday to me! I know, I know. My birthday was July 19th, but my presents arrived today! I took my birthday money (along with some of our own) and finally purchased matching night stands! We’ve only been married almost 20 years folks.
Before you see the “after” pictures with our new nightstands … here is a BEFORE picture of my husband’s side of the bed. See the stack of magazines and books? Aren’t the cords and wires lovely too? (Grrrrrrr.) And the 1989 quilt rack is now behind our door. We use those quilts so I need to keep it in the room.
This morning I took my wonderful WalMart gift card that I won from Stephanie at Life is a Miracle and purchased two new lamps! Yay! Thanks Stephanie! They look lovely on my new nightstands. Woo hoo! Feel free to click on the pictures to enlarge them.

All of the books that my dear husband had stacked on his table by the bed are now neatly hidden in the drawers on his side of the bed. YAY me (as Mimi’s daughter at He & Me + 3 says)! And look, no cords or wires!
So dear Nan at Momstheword, you can consider my “cleaning frenzy” assignment complete! I didn’t paint, but it looks 91% better than it did. I can check off that assignment now. Oh dear … now the office. That is my official junk room!
It looks positively lovely! 🙂
Oh Beth it's lovely! I love the nightstands. I think the drawers are a great idea. Just hide the mess, that's what I need!
I love the shape of the nightstands!IT's good you got two. With our first set I got only one and poor husband had none but gave that to DD when she married. Now we have two and love it that way.
It looks great!
Your room is gorgeous! Mind if I move right on in? 🙂
The nightstands and lamps are beautiful! We need an entire makeover in our bedroom.
Oh, Beth…I love your new nightstands…they are beautiful. You have a very pretty, romantic and relaxing looking bedroom.
Great job, my friend!

WOW..what a difference the night stands can make to the room…I LOVE those lights,,i was thinking of buying them myself from Walmart..Great minds do think a like I guess, LOL
Beth! It looks like a very expensive bed & breakfast – how beautiful and inviting!
Happy belated birthday! I love the new nightstands–they actually look a lot like my own. They give your room a beautiful "finished" look. Someone above said it looks like a B & B, and I agree!
Huge improvement and I bet you feel like a new woman entering that room. Or, maybe you feel like you are entering a new room. Either way I love them!
They look like they came from Ethan Allen! Very nice and ….Happy belated birthday to you! Happy belated birthday to you! Happy birthday, may God bless you! Happy belated birthday to you!
Yes! Check it off! It looks great! Happy belated Birthday to you!
Looks Great!
The picture's of your bedroom can be so out of a magazine…..love it all!
Enjoy it and have a great weekend

Your bedroom looks absolutely lovely!

Wow; I like what you did with that room. The new bedspread too. But it always helps to have drawers to hide all the magazines and books. It makes everything look neater. I just shove stuff in drawers. One day I still have to clean the drawers though.
Looks FANTASTIC!!
It looks lovely! I have been married for 22 years and we still do not have nightstands or dressers. We lived overseas for 12 years and always had access to military furniture. One day…..(sigh)
Love em, Beth!! It loos beautiful in there. Such a change!!
Wow Beth…I love it! It looks like something right out of a magazine. Just beautiful.
I love, love, love your nightstands. Probably because they look very much like my bedroom set. I'm sure they aren't the same b/c my nightstand is much larger, larger than I'd prefer. But I have the entire matching set. The color, shape, and curvatures (is that a word) of your nightstands look similar. Love the matching lamps.
I know what you mean about a quilt rack. I miss having my quilt rack in my room; it's now in the quest room.
You crack me up girl! What's up with the 91%. I guess the paint is worth the 9%. What would you paint? Looks like you have wallpaper and beeboard???
WooHoo!! It looks awesome! I love the new spread, too. It all goes so well together. You inspire me!
It's bee-u-ti-ful! Everything looks so put together. Hiding stuff is good. Glad I could help. ;o)
Your room looks just wonderfull….a place to get away….beautiful!
Are you sure that you can check this room off right now? What about the bedskirt?
You do have a good looking room though!
smooches,
Larie

Wow, I can hardly believe it's the same room! What I can also picture in my head but isn't shown on the pictures is how cozy and lovely the fireplace makes the whole room…especially your hydrangea picture hanging over it! i can't wait to see it in person! i liked your old,new bedspread but must admit that the new one looks much better!!!!
That looks fantastic! They are gorgeous. Happy Birthday!
Look at that! they match your bed so beautifully! I love it so much!!! It looks so Bed and Breakfast!! OOO I feel sleepy.
Have fun in there! 😉
They look great! Your bedroom looks awesome.
This is lovely!
Wow Beth, they look great!
Wow, beautiful. I love the night stands and lamps. Your poster bed is lovely too. I like the bedspread also. Happy Birthday.

Thanks for stopping by my blog!
I have been married 22 years and we just (2 months ago) bought a bed! We had been sleeping on air matresses or a futon for about 8 years. (We used to have a waterbed.)
Now….I'm inspired to get a night stand or two! 🙂
Wow!! Those look awesome!! Our bedroom is horrible. It was a hand me down-hand me down that was originally my grandparent's way back when. My husband says it looks like it's straight out of a 1970's porno. Lol!
Wow! Happy Saturday to you! I am slowly making my way around to all the blogs that visited me when I was featured on SITS to say "Thank you". It is indeed a fabulous SITStahood.
Be blessed!
Beth..it looks so good!! Love all your new purchases! What a great bday!!
What lovely birthday present for you – somehow when we get this room right – all is right with the world. eautiful.
I love the title of your blog! . Thanks for visiting mine. x Happy Saturday share fest

Oh, it looks SOOOOOO nice! Love it all.
Happy 2nd (this year) birthday!!! =0)
Wow, that really does look different. And also great at the same time! I am a sucker for quilts, so I am so glad that you said you kept it in the room. if you had said you got rid of it..well, I don't know. I may have cried for the quilt rack a little.
Stopping by to give you a big welcome to the SITStahood. We are so glad you could join us and look forward to seeing you around!
They're gorgeous! I really love the quilt stand, I've never seen anything like it before. Nice to meet you, stopped by from SITS to read your Senator post…hilarious! x
Woohoo!! It looks awesome, and it gives me inspiration too! =)
i love it! i have a 1991 quilt rack that looks just like that! i didn't hide mine though, gave it away! kept the quilt my grandma made though! 🙂 good for you!
Oh, how gorgeous!! Amazing what some new night stands and lamps can do to change the look of a room!!
~Beth
Your new nightstands and lamps look great!
Just beautiful! What a huge difference!
Beautiful!
You know about changing things up. We don't do that very much around here so I get excited when we paint especially.
It makes things fresh. I'd love the rest of the house to be painted. We'll see…
Have a great week.
Wow! I LOVE it! BEAUTIFUL!!!
Absolutely beautiful! I LOVE the after, so gorgeous!
That is such a beautiful room! Happy Belated Birthday!
I read your testimony and I was really touched. Thank you for sharing! (It's also nice to know when other people believe in real life spiritual warfare – my husband looks at me as if I had 2 heads when I talk about it…)
Nice choice on the nightstands. Love them.
Also happy belated birthday, we love you!
Love and Prayers,
Tim and Carey
VERY nice! Great bed too!
