Bedroom Search...

So we need a new bedroom set. We have outgrown what we currently have. Actually... we outgrew it within the first year of our marriage.

See, what happened was, right around the time we got married 5 years ago, my wonderful, and since have passed, great-grandparents moved into a nursing home. Nate and I were able to inherit their beautiful antique bedroom set. Its not quite a full 4 poster, but it does have some tall spindles at the head of the bed, and some shorter ones at the end. However... it is a Full size bed. We also got a nice big chest of drawers and a vanity with chair, with only 4 small drawers. To finish it off we got a beloved small side table. So needless to say, these are family heirlooms.

However, 2 adults have a very hard time sharing 1 chest of drawers... and did I say the bed is only a full size, LOL?

I went through my preganancy with Seth in that bed. And yes, Nate stayed with me... and my 2 body pillows!

Here is the kicker.... we also inherited the original mattresses. I know, I know... OLD. Yet, still kinda comfy, in a hard comfy kinda way.

So like I said in my very first sentance... we need a new bedroom set. I am for sure keeping what we have, as a guest suite set, or for any future daughters. We have been sort of looking around, but everything didn't have any character to me... it was all factory pushed out stuff... and we were in nice furniture stores!

Until last night.

We walked into a Bombay Store, and there it was. The bed of my dreams. In the store, it wasn't draped in the way of this picture, but rather a couple sheer panels hanging to the floor from the head of the bed. (sigh) So beautiful! And you know what?!?! Mr Nate... Mr, "I like more modern- straight-boxy stuff" agreed with me that this was the bed!

Now, Nate had me all excited for about 10 minutes last night... I truly thought we were about to place an order. Then he dropped the bomb. Not right now. Not today. But we can get it... just in a couple months once we finish paying off my camera and our anniversary rings.

Besides, we don't have the queen mattresses yet. My parents want to give us a set for both our birthdays, and mine isn't until August. AND! The manager at the Bombay Store took my name and number, and promised to call if and when a really great sale started.

Now I just need to decide with Bedside tables to get. I want us both to have one, and for it to actually store things. So it's between the bedside tables that are actually in that particular bedroom set~ Exibit A



Or just another type they have in the store....Exibit B



I am really digging the curves in the 2nd one... WDYT?

Off to shower, and to 2 Open House parties!
