    Just to throw another opinion into the mix, I have seen it done and it works well. I have seen dining settings and buffets that are both white and timber finish as well as bedroom furniture. that bunk set that we are looking at is white and timber too. It would only not work if you had several timiber finished items and they didn't match, but having all white and then the jarrah bed would work well I think. If you dressed it with white accessories them it would tie it all together.

    I love that look but the look is more the furniture and not the trimmings...like the beds that all white and the top piece of timber is stained insteadof painted.
    V has a little storage thing (from target) that is all white and has cane baskets...looks spiffy
