You might already know Stanley Furniture for its painted furniture. The Coastal Living Cottage Collection offers furniture in pretty colors from three different palettes inspired by coastal landscapes. "The sea, in all its many moods, plays a central role, as do the dunes, marsh grasses, shells, sun and boardwalks of America’s coasts." Stick with one color or select a mix of colors from one of the palettes like I did!

It was actually the second time that I viewed the same Summerhouse bed at Avenues Home Furnishings. In the store, the bed was presented against a warm, red-orange backdrop. That rich color really sets off the pretty painted pastel color of the bed.
In the picture you get a glimpse of 3 more pieces of bedroom furniture from this collection. It wasn't my intention of also purchasing those pieces; however, after researching the Coastal Living Cottage Collection further online, I recognized the value.
Avenues Home Furnishings was going out of business and had reduced their prices to make this an attractive buy. As they were holding my bed for delivery, I simply added the 3 pieces to my order.

What's really fun about this type of beach cottage or summer house furniture? You can add other colorful pieces to the mix.
These three colorful pieces of furniture are also in my bedroom complementing the Coastal Living Cottage bedroom set. I sourced the teal dresser and green night stand at my local HomeGoods store. The green and yellow decorative dresser in the middle was found at another specialty furniture store that went out of business. I have two of those.
What is the perfect "matching" chair? I did have a little space left in the bedroom. I was shopping at Haverty's and saw a cottage chic, overstuffed white chair.
I found the lime green leaf pillow at HomeGoods - what a wonderful store! And, how about a hand for Target? You see the teal drapes and the lime green rug? Yep, Target. Oh, and at the right of the picture you get a glimpse of a special lamp that I also found at Target. It is a brushed silver base floor lamp with 5 different color, adjustable cone heads of lights. It's like that lamp was made to go with my particular bedroom set because of all the colors! I actually have two of them in my master bedroom.
How about bedding ideas? Check out the Green White and Black Floral Bedding that I've used in my master and guest bedrooms.
Well, I hope you enjoyed the show. And, I hope you got some ideas about how to decorate a beach cottage or summer house bedroom. Do you like a colorful bedroom like mine? I'd love to hear from you! Gosh, you only live once - why not enjoy it? Think a little outside the box with your decorating ideas. No point in being boring; you know?

I took a bit of time to research what is available online for the Stanley Furniture Coastal Living Cottage Collection. I can comfortably report that it is next to impossible for you to find a bedroom set like mine to buy; unless you buy it from me. I've put together a snapshot of the suggested retail pricing for a Stanley Furniture bedroom set like mine, including the king-size mattress set.
