Dadzoo and I have been married for 10 years and up until 3 weeks ago we had been sleeping in the same bed and on the same mattresses I brought into the marriage. I had bought this bed and mattresses about a year before we got married, and I bought super cheap stuff, it was all I could afford at the time.Over the past 10 years our bed had served us well, however, the last few years the mattresses have been giving out and the last 6 months have been terrible. Dadzoo and I have been sleeping restless and waking up with sore backs.
I knew we needed to get new mattresses as soon as we could afford it.
About the time the government announced they would be giving us all a “stimulus” check and we had decided that we would be using a small portion of that money to buy new mattresses I got a call from my sister.
She said “do you want this:”
and I said “um, heck yeah!”
So, Dadzoo and I went and bought new mattresses (king size, our old bed was a queen).
Then he borrowed a truck and trailer and went to pick up our new bed…yay!!!!! and along with the bed came a beautiful armour.
We now have a beautiful bedroom set for the cost of gas and new mattresses. The bed pretty much fills our room now and we ended up getting rid of two dressers (both those dressers we had had since we were both little).
Now all I need to do is paint the bedroom and save for the bedding that I really want on the bed. Something big and white and fluffy, like a down comforter…mmm….
Wow! How pretty!
That is beautiful. I’ve always wanted a four poster bed. We have somewhat similar circumstances. Our first bed was one that hubby brought from his house. We have purchased a new mattress (twice in fact) but we have never had a bed frame. Our box springs sits on the floor. My solution to this is that we decorated with India inspired bedding and decor so that a low bed looks like it’s supposed to be that way. Someday I’ll actually have a frame and I might change the decor then. hehe
You lucky duck! We don’t have a bed, just a mattress set on a frame. Our dresser is something I try not to think about. I’m so happy for you!
That’s a beautiful bedroom set.
I;m with you, I never understood why people say that about sleeping like a baby. 🙂
Absolutely stunning! It is gorgeous! I think sometimes we forget how blessed we are with what we are given. You always keep that in check! Thanks! BTW, any homes for rent in your area??? Let me know!
Looks soo good. It fits you, and the room, perfectly! Your comforter looks really good! We love it!
How exciting! I love your lines, “now we sleep like we did before we had babies.” Excellent!
The bedroom looks great! Thank goodness for aunts who like to redecorate!
Wonder how well it holds up being so old and all. Maybe show some picks with it under some heavy abuse.
