Dream Bedrooms

Need ideas in upgrading your bedroom? Browse through this san diego bedroom furniture gallery and you’d wonder why you haven’t upgraded your bedroom for a long time.

I prefer comfortable rooms myself with a touch of contemporary style. My idea of a perfect bedroom is one that devoid of clutter, uses earth tone colors with a touch of red or blue on the furniture, a nice huge painting that complements the color of the room and a walk-in closet. So when I saw the Valerie bedroom set below, I wondered if someone has been reading my thoughts. It’s very close to what I have in mind. You can buy this Valerie set at www.jeromes.com for a total of $2,049.99 but you can also choose from their package combinations or buy them per piece.

Aside from contemporary styles, I also like this Manor bedroom set with carved wood and rich cherry finish. It reminds me so much of bed rooms in dream vacations that I see online. It has a rustic and romantic feel to it and being a hopeless romantic myself, I can see myself having a bedroom like this. If I have the budget, I’d go for this one instead of the Valerie set.

A Homemaker’s Friend

I’ve been a constant visitor of iVillage.co.uk since 2003. It started when we were moving to my mother-in-law’s house and needed to upgrade the other master bedroom for our own use. It was only my husband and I back then. No little girl to mess up the decors and furniture yet so I have full rein on giving the room a total makeover. I daily check websites about interior designs, makeover TV shows, paints, furniture, cheap deals, etc. This was when I got addicted to iVillage. The Home & Garden section is a wonderful resource for homemakers who are always on the budget like myself. It features DIY stuff, gardening tips, remodeling areas of the house, handling pets, pest control (though I have to say that issues like this should be left with professionals like Terminix), cooking, cleaning and maintenance, and my favorite - a huge photo gallery of design ideas. I noticed that DIY is all the rage now making me wonder if people in the States either have super powers or they don’t have much to do. I for one can’t even juggle my work from home gig and parenting my now 2.5-year-old toddler.
