All I can say is.....WE HAVE A REAL BED!!!!!!
SPECIAL DELIVERY......ISN'T HE A CUTIE!!!
GUESS WHAT IS IN THE BOX!!!
AFTER 14 YEARS OF MARRIAGE, WE FINALLY HAVE A REAL BED:) WELL, A FOOT BOARD AND HEADBOARD. THIS IS OUR ANNIVERSARY PRESENT TO EACH OTHER THIS YEAR.
A LOVELY SLEIGH BED.
AND THIS IS WHAT OUR BED WAS BEFORE. WHEN OUR OLDEST WAS BIG ENOUGH TO PUT IN A REAL BED, WE DECIDED THE COMBINE OUR BOX SPRING WITH A NEW MATTRESS FOR HIM AND THEN WHEN WE HAD OUT OF STATE FAMILY VISIT, THEY COULD HAVE HIS BED WHILE THEY VISITED. BUT THAT MEANT WE HAD TO BUILD SOME KIND OF BASE FOR OUR MATTRESS TO SIT ON. THERE WAS JUST NOTHING EXTRA IN THE BUDGET, SO WE GATHERED SCRAPS OF WOOD THAT HAD BEEN LEFT BEHIND IN OUR GARAGE AND BUILT THIS PLATFORM. WE HAVE USED IT FOR THE PAST 11 YEARS. WE HAVE HAD A PICTURE OF THE BED WE WANTED SET ASIDE FOR SOME TIME AND I JUST CANNOT BELIEVE WE FINALLY HAVE IT IN OUR ROOM! WHEW, WHAT A LOT OF WORK GETTING THE ROOM READY FOR IT THOUGH! THE ONLY BUMMER IS, MY HONEY WORKED SO HARD TO GET IT BUILT THIS MORNING AND NOW HE IS GONE ON A RETREAT WITH THE YOUTH. I DO NOT EVEN GET TO SLEEP WITH HIM IN IT THE FIRST NIGHT!

I love sleigh beds! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteoh, it's gorgeous!! congratulations! and happy anniversary!
ReplyDelete(we don't have a headboard or footboard either. Maybe we'll get one for eachother when we make it to the number years y'all have been married!) - we've been married for 9 ...
so pretty!!!
Thank you so much Lora! You know,I did enjoy having fun with using different things behind our bed instead of a headboard. I have had faux windows, an old garage door,and an old screen door behind our bed in different homes.
ReplyDeleteTOO FUNNY, Glad you got a new bed and it is beautiful. BTW, I LOVE YOUR CURTAINS, are they vintage linens?
ReplyDeleteThank you Jeanne! The curtains are actually a vintage quilt! Imagine that, right?!:) And I should post a picture, I ended up putting up pink shutters on the other window. Here I had these shutters for years an never realized they fit my window perfectly. I had fun doing the two windows in different ways.
ReplyDeleteYou will have to do a tutorial on cutting up a quilt for curtains. Those are CUTE!!!!!!!!! I have been scouring around trying to find something like that for our room since I saw yours. :)
