I just can't hate Pottery Barn for more than a week. I keep going back.
Okay, so I have been to every "discount" furniture store imaginable. I'm sorry, but I just keep going back to the pottery barn bedroom furniture. I understand that you can get some furniture items from these discount places and they can mix in with other pieces to create a nice look, trust me, I am planning on doing this with coffee tables, consoles, etc. I know PB is ridiculously expensive ... I know it's outrageous ... I know you can get a whole house furnished for the price of the bed alone, but to be honest with you ... you can sooooo tell the difference. I love pottery barns simplicity. I want a plain sleigh bed. Period. No ornate crap, no weird furniture knobs, no crazy weird shaped mirror that goes with the dresser. I want simplicity. The Mackenzie bed set is at the OUTLET, so I would get it for half off (their current promotion). AND they have the matching dresser at the outlet. I would be getting the bed, dresser, and nightstand. I might as well get what I want and what I think looks good rather than getting junk for half the price. I know it might not be the most logical thing to do, but I keep driving back by the PB outlet to look at the bed. I love it. I think it looks good, it's simple and classy. Done and Done.

I totally agree with you, we made the mistake of buying a PB look-a-like bed from Rooms To Go, SO NOT THE SAME! Smart decision!

Simple and classic and good quality are definitely the way to go! I'd rather have less furniture at first than a house full of the cheaper stuff.
I love Pottery Barn and totally agree! And not only does the bed look great, but the quilt and bedding is gorgeous too!!
I LOVE that you are choosing the location for your rehearsal dinner. Grant doesn't want me to do that, so I won't do that, but I'm with you! It is our day, and I think that I deserve to have what I want! :)
The problem with Pottery Barn is that it isn't good quality-at least for me-hardly any dove tail drawers,poor construction on the beds...it just isn't what its cracked up to be.
What a great spread!! I love Pottery Barn too- wish I could afford it! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
