sweet sleep

The last time I had a bed was.... well, I think that was in college in an apartment that was already furnished. So it has been a while. Since then I have had a box spring and mattress on the floor of the 3 or 4 places I have lived since then. Now that I own a house, it is time to get a real bed. I had an idea. So I told my Dad about it. I found some silver colored furniture legs at Ikea, and Dad made the rest! Made of Maple and Ash (headboard), and stained with a cherry color. The frame houses the box spring perfectly. I LOVE IT!!

Before (gross):


After (pretty!):


Next, I will paint the bedroom and the adjoining vanity and bathroom. Check back for before and afters of that project later next month.
