Nope. We do have matching night stands (pottery barn). The bed is wrought iron from a local store, we have a dresser we bought at an antique store, and then we have matching upholstered chairs from a different store.
All wood on the furniture is dark/espresso colored though.
Yes. We just spent a decent amount of money on a set in March. In 7 years of marriage we had never had matching furniture or a new mattress. We went from a full size to a king and it is amazing. We have two nightstands, a dresser, a chest of drawers and a headboard/footboard. We love our furniture. Best purchase we ever made.

No. My parents gave us their cherry sleigh style headboard and footboard. We have Hs great grandmas dresser and mirror (complete with his name carved on top from when he was an obnoxious boy 🙄), and another antique dresser. My "nightstand" is really an end table, but it fits the spot, so whatever.
We have a matching set, but it is a cheap set we bought when we first got married. We really could use a new set, but with our shop/entertaining area we are working on, all extra money is going that way.
Yes, and it's a furniture set that my parents bought me/my sister (for the dressers) when we were young and then stored the bed frame. There's a matching nightstand too. It's got annoying little metal drawer pulls that hit against the plates and make a lot of noise whenever you open or close a drawer. It's a perfectly good set though so my H will never agree to get anything new.
Yes. However, my IL's bought it for my husband when he was a a teenager. It's not my style and needs to be refinished. It's on my to-do list. One of these days we'll buy our own set and move this into the guest room but we can't settle on a style so I don't want to spend the money until we can.

Yes. I inherited it from my mom, but DH and I had actually picked it out for her when we redid her house after Hurricane Katrina. It's pretty classic and I still live it. In fact, I occasionally still check eBay for the vanity we didn't buy at the time.

Yes. Matt bought it before we were together and I actually like it! There's a bed with head and foot board, double dresser with mirror, and a nightstand (that we actually have our tv on).
We don't even have a bed frame over here. Box spring and mattress on the floor, lol. I do prefer coordinating stuff over sets, anyway.
We've been talking about getting a "real bed" for a while but I don't think it will happen until after my unpaid maternity leave. We have a dresser and nightstand that were mine before we got married that I still like. DH uses the nightstand now...there's not room for one for me but I don't mind.
Yes but it is time for it to go. Our bedroom and the living room are next for new furniture. Probably living room first. Both of these rooms have furniture that we bought 16 years ago and haven't replaced yet. All other rooms have new furniture since we bought the house 10 years ago.

Our dressers match. They were a set that mil got for for dh's nursery. We painted them black thought. We already had a black headboard. And then we got some cheapie night stands off craigslist and painted those black as well. Then we got all new knob and handles for everything. So...yes and no.
