    We Have a Bedroom!

    I’ll post more, probably tomorrow. Right now I’m exhausted. But… WE HAVE A BEDROOM!

  • We Almost Have a Bedroom

    We Almost Have a Bedroom

    The floors are in, the walls and ceiling have been painted, and the trim has been painted (but needs one more coat). We’ll finish putting in the baseboard tonight, and then assemble and install my wardrobe tomorrow.

    My hands and wrists hurt, but soon we will have a bedroom again.

    Sleeping in the Hallway.

    Yeah! Sleeping in the hallway is awesome! Oh, wait… no it’s not. It’s weird and awkward!

    Sorry for the unmade bed, but seriously… why bother? We’re putting in our floors this weekend, so we will soon have a nice bedroom.

    Also, you may remember that I had posted about wanting the above bed (“Dreaming of a new bedroom”). We love it! Our old mattress suddenly feels better, and reading in bed is much more comfortable (the headboard is slanted). Yay!

    Dreaming of a new bedroom.

    Our bed is falling apart. It hasn’t happened lately, but the mattress sometimes likes to just fall right down to the floor. *thump* It’s a little alarming! So… I would love to buy a new bed.

    And a new mattress. And new sheets. And a new dresser. And some nightstands too please. Oh, and maybe a lighting fixture and some lamps?

    Because really, why stop at just the bed when you can spend all of your money in one fell swoop? Hey, maybe we should change the yucky carpet in there too! Hmmm… probably not the best idea to go crazy in the bedroom when there are more pressing needs (hello, blue bathtub and toilet). But I can still list the things I want! Such as:

    An upholstered bed
    The Hoffman bed from Room & Board:

    Or the Tate bed from Crate & Barrel:

    A new mattress
    Yep, that would be nice.

    New sheets
    Oh, I’m not picky. I just haven’t found the perfect set yet. ;)

    A long dresser
    The 6 drawer dresser from west elm:

    Narrow Leg Dresser

    Or the similar (but nicer) Calvin dresser from Room & Board:

    Two new nightstands
    I’d like these to be either very understated and simple (clean lines, medium/dark wood), or an interesting shape that’s been painted with a bold color (red, orange, teal). I’m hoping I can find an inexpensive set (thrift shop?) and then paint.

    New lighting
    Perhaps if I find an extra $2798 I’ll get this sexy red chandelier from Design Within Reach:

    Murano chandelier

    (I’ll take that KWID wallpaper too, please.)

    Hardwood floors
    Oh, who am I kidding? I’d settle for non-yucky carpet.
