Do you like our new headboard and cabinets?

We drove to Collie today to pick up a new (to us) bedhead and bedside cabinets. The unit was advertised on a FB site together with a photo. We haven’t had a headboard and our bedside tables are nearly as old as us, although perhaps not quite. The headboard has a nice piece of leadlight in the centre and I love the warm colour of the wood. We had met the woman at HorsePower where we took photos of some disabled riders doing their dressage tests. We had a good chat with her and her husband. They have fourteen pacers/trotters in training. Pacers race against each other pulling light carts called spiders. There is a trotting meeting in Collie tomorrow. It is a daytime meeting and we’re thinking about going to it. It should be fun and if we were very lucky, we might have a bet and win some money. So, do you like our new unit?

They look warm overall. Looks like you are preparing for the coming winters in your place?

We were pretty pleased with it. We've been wanting new side cabinets for a while but couldn't find anything we really liked.

Yes it looks great! Most of all I like the combination of the wood with your wall. Is it grey or has a shade of dark green inside?

@JudyEv Sometimes the pictures can't capture the actual color. I really like it, we had green in our previous bedroom and it's calming.

@besweet We have one wall a bit darker but three walls are a pastel green.

The wall is actually a pale green. It's not a good representation of the real colour.

I think it's called blondwood but it is really just chipboard with a laminated top coat.

@TheHorse Do you know chipboard as particle board or paperboard perhaps? I don't know what the laminate is but it's a warm honey colour.

I love it! Have been considering adding a headboard to our bed. I have been looking on Facebook sites and there have been a few, but I am reluctant to get one just yet. Our place is cramped enough as it is.
