...a 'new' bed...

...whenever we traveled and ended up in a hotel with a king-sized bed...the Man and I always remarked about how nice it was...so big and roomy...you could turn over and not bump into 'anyone'...but we never did anything about it except enjoy having a nice big bed while we were on vacation...
...so we gave each other a king sized bed for Christmas...sorry...I should have told you about it sooner...but it just wasn't that photogenic of a post...in this state anyway...but that is all about to change...

...well the support system is actually two of these extra long twin sized beds...

...and we've been using them just like this since Christmas...unfinished and without a headboard...(with a mattress of course)...

...well...that needed to be remedied...
...so we picked out some stains...and did some swatches...
...put down some newspaper...
...and stained the bed to (sort of) match the antique dressers we already had...

...I'm sure you can see where this is heading...there will finally be a new headboard for this bed...soon...

~Wishing you a lovely start to your week!

  1. We have a kingsize bed, but even then there are times that it is too small for a man, woman and Yorkshire Terrier!

  2. Good for you!

    Future Hubby and I decided that's what we're buying each other as a wedding gift! At 6'4" he takes up way too much bed for use to share a queen comfortably (and I do like to stretch out myself!)

  3. nice!! yeah, love those king-sized beds in hotels, but i don't think our bedroom would really be big enough to handle one....

    guess i'll just have to settle for enjoying them when i can!

    love, k

  5. We spend 2/3's of our lives on our backs or on our feet...it pays to have a comfortable, supportive bed and excellent foot wear.
