Help Me Pick Some Furniture
We're officially moved into our house! Yay!!!
Now that we actually have a home, our next step is to get a king sized bed and new bedroom furniture (We've been using a teeny tiny full-sized mattress, so this is a bit of a priority for the sake of our backs and general sleep!)
We painted our bedroom a light blue.
This is the comforter we'll be using in the winter:

(We don't have a king-sized comforter for the summer yet, so we can pick whatever color/pattern we want there)
My question is: What type of furniture do you think would go best with light blue walls and the grey/black comforter... light wood? dark wood? medium-tone wood?
I would also consider white furniture, but our trim right now is an off-white, so I don't think the white would go really well. We have so many other things to do right now that painting the trim white is not really something I want to do anytime soon, BUT if you really feel like white furniture would look best then let me know and maybe I'll reconsider

I agree... Dark wood.
After 2 years of TTC, lots of tests, and a Hysteroscopy/Laparoscopy to remove several polyps,
Clomid/IUI #1 3/14: cancelled due to surprise BFP 3/8/14.
Beta 1 3/11: 398 Beta 2 3/13: 728 Beta 3 3/20: 11,482
Surprise BFP turns into Surprise Twins!

I agree with the dark wood. It's timeless and will go with everything. But, I wouldn't do a "matching" set of furniture. For the bed, I would consider an upholstered headboard in charcoal or even a lighter gray. Our bedroom has a mix of furniture. I inherited my grandmother's furniture from the late '30's and is a dark wood with red undertones. But, my bedside tables are white and the bed is a metal frame. I tend to get board with colors, so I switch out linens/comforters/blankets frequently. Well, everry season any way.
