Fit for a California King

As I mentioned in my last post, we’ve been sleeping on a tiny, hand-me-down bed since we got married.  Here is a look at our little bed in our big master bedroom. As you can see, we haven’t done much in terms of decorating the place. The curtains were graciously left for us by the seller.

Here you see more of those fab curtains, and our mismatched dressers.

And finally a sneak peak at the master bath. Through the doorway, you can see the mirrored doors of Steve’s closet (mine is on the other side). And if you look close, you can see the bathtub reflected in it. Yes, that is fluorescent green paint.

The new bed we purchased over Labor Day weekend was delivered on Saturday.  Saturday morning, I stripped the old bed so they could take it away when delivering the new bed.  The delivery window was from 12-4, and I expected to be waiting around until 3:45 or so at least.  But amazingly, they were at the door at 12:01, hauled away the old bed, set up the new bed, and were gone again by 12:15.  These guys were pros.

It still has “new mattress smell.”  We let it air out with the windows open and the fan on until just before we went to sleep.  By then we were tired, so we made the bed a bit hastily.  It was like sleeping in a bed from a nice hotel, all plush and cozy.
