The Before~ A Full Size (we inherited this bed and mattress set when we got married from my great-grandparents as they moved into a nursing home. We loved it, it served us well, {and saw the creation of 2 Burns' kids} but we needed new mattresses and more space. No worries, the heirloom is in our attic waiting to be used by a future daughter.... ;) (no... i don't know yet....)
The After~ A Queen Size (new paint job, new side tables for us both, and Nate's favorite... Lamps for us both, LOL! Bed & tables from Bombay & Co.)
And yes... before you are squinting your eyes... they are the same quilted bedding.. just in different colors! LOL! The first in blues and purples from Bed Bath & Beyond, and the second (newer) is done in burgundies (MY FAVE) from Linens & Things. I loved it enough to get it again, LOL! The middle pillow I took to this mall kiosk, and had embroidered with our monogram.I still have to hang burgundy curtains like the blue ones in the top pictures.
I forgot to mention yesterday that for Seth's Birthday (well, for Nate's too...) we like to make a wonderfully yummy Monkey Cake. Some of you might also call it a Monkey Bread. But since It is made in a cake pan, I win. ( ;) Nate)
Monkey Cake
4 cans of refrigerator bisquits (Regular size, NOT jumbo or Grands)
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup margerine
Open 2 cans of bisquits and seperate them. Cut each bisquit into 4 pieces. Shake pieces in a plastic bag containing 3/4 cup sugar and cinnamon. Place in greased tube pan.
Repeat with 2 remaining cans of bisquits. Layer evenly.
Melt 1 stick (or 1/2 cup) margerine and stir the 1 cup sugar (and remaining cinnamon mixture) into the margerine. Pour over biscuits in pan.
Oven 350*. Bake 45 minutes. When done, remove from oven and let cool 10 minutes. Turn it upside down, and store in a cake taker.
