Benches in the Bedroom and My Favorite High-Low Pick
Lately I’ve become slightly obsessed with “refreshing” my master bedroom (much to the dismay of my husband). I’ve been perusing bedrooms and out of nowhere I suddenly started noticing that truly luxurious, serene, enveloping bedrooms often have benches perched at the end of the bed.
Like, a lot of them. Have you noticed it too?
I don’t know why this is exactly, except I will say that it really rounds out the room nicely and adds a special touch.
So that’s it. I’ve decided that a bench at the end of our bed is happening. I’ve long been drawn to the strong, polished lines of Jonathan Adler’s Whitaker bench: 
Jonathan Adler’s Whitaker Bench, $1,400
But at $1,400 it’s just not going to happen for us. Imagine my excitement when I spotted its near doppelganger, the Tamblin Bench:
Baxton Studio Tamblin Bench, Wayfair.com, $151.95
You guys, it’s $152!! It is definitely coming home to live at the foot of my bed. I seriously think it’s the best high-low score I’ve ever seen.

November 12, 2015 at 12:49 PMYes!! I’ve always loved benches at the end of beds (my grandmother had one, so I noticed it early)..and never knew if that was stylistically acceptable or not (you know my none design brain!!) – glad to know it is!
