We're all about breaking out of the matchy-matchy mold so we'd absolutely suggest pairing white end tables with a wood bed. Just be sure to bring in enough white in other places so it doesn't seem out of place (white bedding, white lamp shades, etc) as well as other wood-toned objects and furnishings (a dresser, chocolate upholstered pillows, etc) to maintain a nice balance between both colors so they come together seamlessly. Hope it helps! xo, s

Think your bed with white dressers on side..what do you think that would look like? Thanks Hi Youngsters~

I was wondering - do you know of any more affordable options for the dresser-turned-end table idea? I so want to do this (so I'd need two for either side of the bed) and I love the white Pottery Barn ones but they are out of my price range! Thanks! Hi YoungHouseLove!

The just center them along the side of the bed (not too close to the head or the foot of it) and you'll be in business! Hope it helps! xo, s

I've got the blue and green in my bedroom now. . . can't wait to add the slate! I also love that you've suggested runners instead of a large area rug. Could you explain exactly where they would go? (Like how close to the sides/end of the bed?) Thanks! Love this mood board! I’ve got the blue and green in my bedroom now. . . can’t wait to add the slate!

For a similar green to the punchy accessories in this mood board, try Benjamin Moore's Land Of Liberty- but it's a pretty deep tone so be warned (it would look amazing on a metal stool or a bookcase, though!). xo, s
