Furniture

We needed beds for the boys, the garage sale ones were wearing out. I have yet to see a second hand store in China too. So we had to buckle down and buy. Then interesting thing is that here in China, it's cheaper to have things (draperies, clothes, furniture etc) custom built than buying them in a mall. Especially furniture.

This a picture of the night stands we are having made for the Master (Restoration Hardware "Camden Collection). They are 3 feet across, which I didn't realize till later.

This is a picture of a bed we are making for the boys' rooms from, the model is from Pottery Barn Kids. I spotted it in a catalog describing the bedding, but couldn't find the name for it. Come to find out, Pottery Barn has not officially launched this line yet. They don't even have a name for it, but if you did happen to spot it (search for "star bedding" and you will see it there), they "call" it (for now) the "Larkin 4 Poster Bed with Trundel". They already have a Larkin set, so I don't what the official name will be... but do you LOVE this set? Think little King!

So... instead of paying $1770 for a Restoration Hardware Camden collection night stand (made of partial veneer and cheap wood), you can get it here for Wal-mart prices, and of solid Ashwood, with no veneers.

Here are some slides of what the furniture looks like now, they have not sanded or stained it.
