Inviting you into our bedroom
/
As I've mentioned countless times before, the Husband's job has [sadly] put him on a first-name basis with the security people at the airport. We get personalized Christmas cards from the hotels he frequents. He's gone. A LOT. And even when he's working at the office in-town, he has very long hours.
Needless to say, his life contains a lot of stress.
Fortunately for me, he unwinds in a very productive manner, which I find I am highly encouraging of.
Internet, meet my new king-sized big girl bed:
Yes, the Husband made that bed. All for me (and I guess for him, too). Let me repeat that: HE MADE THE BED. Made it. Like a mountain man. Or the Amish.
[He does have that secret dream to go off the grid.]
I found a bed that I liked online, showed him the picture, and he drew up plans and worked on it during the weekends.
I could not be more thrilled. We had been sleeping on a ghetto bed since before Chase was born, and it is so nice to finally have a pretty, grown-up bed.
Bedding is the Hanna quilt from Pottery Barn, and is oh, so lovely. Look at that stitching. I just love it:
Pillows are a mash: Some from Target, some sewn together by yours truly with fabric from Joann's:
The Husband has also made me a set of nightstands (which he's not finished staining yet) and he's currently working on a large set of shelves for books/knick knacks that will double as a TV stand.
Here is a picture of the master plan to give you an idea:
[Before]
After:
(Do you like how I put myself in there? Hopefully, I will have two hands, legs, and most of my bottom when I'm sitting on the bed in real life. Though losing the bottom wouldn't exactly break my heart.)
What do you think?
I'm pretty excited about it all.
Thanks, baby. You are the best.
