OK, Week 3. Things are getting serious, time to make things happen. Can you believe I've never had a bench at the foot of my bed? Well, I have been missing out the last couple of decades! So let me introduce you to my new Sinclair Wood Bench* from Lamps Plus, one of the sponsors of the One Room Challenge. I LOVE this bench. It's 51" wide, 19" high and 16" deep; the perfect size for our 13' 6" x 13" bedroom with king size bed. It's solid wood construction with a lovely distressed finish and firm seat covered in a nice neutral weave fabric. (*the link is to the Walnut version) Life is so much easier when you have someplace to put the extra pillows! Like I said, I can't believe I've waited this long to have one.
The other accomplishment was the installation of two 14" deep pax cabinets. There's still more to do here - grasscloth for the left unit, shelves, drawers and doors to be added (half doors on the Left unit, full doors on the Right Unit.) I really like the 14" depth - nothing ends up at the back like with our previous dresser drawers.
We raised the units up slightly so we can add baseboards and molding at the top. I have a plan for the two open areas on either side of the units but I'll save that for later - still need to work it out a bit.
ALSO, thank you to everyone for the great encouragement last week on the window treatments. A pelmut came in as the winner.
If you're new to my blog, Week 1 and Week 2 will catch you up on the plans for this master bedroom makeover. Now be sure to head over to check out what my fellow bloggers are up to!

I totally agree, every bed needs a bench at the end of it. All of that storage in your pax units is going to be so wonderful!
Do not tell me that bench is from Lamps plus! I love it and could so use it around my DR table! 6 chairs is way too much!
I love your new bench! I have never had one at the end of my bed either, but you make a great case for having one there! Or using that bench anywhere, really. :) Excited to see the Pax come together!
Pretty excited about the baseboard trim!!!
Yay what a bench! It looks great there at the foot of the bed :) Nice choice!
Who knew such a great bench from Lamps Plus?! It is so so perfect for the end of your bed. Looking forward to the full monty on the closet sitch. Mine needs some desperate attention so I am following this closely.

Those are going to be great framed with molding. And yes, I need a bench too...all those dang pillows ;)
glad to hear the pelmets won! can't wait to see them finished.
I feel a little behind on my blog reading this week! Looks great, as I am one who loves to see before/after, and that includes everything in between. I'm a big fan of benches! Until then, carry on. I'll sit back, grab some coffee!

The bench is beautiful! I've never had one as more surfaces on which to leave things may or may not be helpful for me : )
