Glam Chic

G and I are planning on doing a chic bedroom, slightly glamourous, using the colors we love so much of black, grey, white and turquoise/teal.  So I've been searching for a slightly glamourous dresser to paint.  Something a little ornate.  When I saw a six drawer cream and gold vintage dresser at the thrift store tonight I honed in on it.  It was labeled for $70, and the guy walking around the furniture dept. when I asked about buying it told me $50.  This particular thrift store has a 20% military discount so we ended up getting it for $39.99!  It's got wood, dove tailed drawers and I cannot wait to paint it and get our bedroom going!  Currently the dresser looks like the 6 drawer in this pic:

So far the plan is to buy a bed base and make a tufted headboard.  I nearly bodyslammed someone tonight (not really, but I would have) for a very large wooden frame.  The inside diagonal of the frame is 45"!  We're hoping to eventually put a t.v. in it (ala Brooklyn Limestone, whose home makes me want to steal all her ideas).  I normally would hate a t.v. in our bedroom, but since it would be used only for movies (thanks to not having any cable) I think it would be nice to curl up in bed and watch a film.  

I'm paying for the walking around we did.  I actually didn't walk much at all, but by the end my foot was screaming and I'm home drinking tea with an ice pack.  Lovely.
