It surely does look nice, though.

If you ever come visit me, as no doubt you are planning to do, I now have a king-sized bed for you to sleep in, but I hope you don't thrash around too much, or want to sit on the foot of the bed to tie your shoes or something. See, I inherited a twin mattress set from my grandmother, and with the twin bed I already had, that makes a king-size bed, but you know, they are still separate twin mattresses, connected only by a mattress pad and a king-sized fitted sheet.

And also, I probably shouldn't tell you this because now you'll never want to visit me ever, but the bed frame is held together by packing tape and big stacks of magazines. It is only temporary! Until I get a proper king-sized bed! But my benighted sunroom: the benightedness is temporary in there, too, and it's been nearly two years now since I moved into my house and it is still benighted, so. I move slowly on these things, is what I'm trying to tell you, so when you visit me (you are still coming to visit, right?), just don't thrash. Or sit on the end of the bed. Are we agreed?





ETA: One-third of the way through, and I'm still in the game! Go me!

It looks gorgeous! So when I come to stay, I should just take a running leap from the doorway and land squarely in the middle? And if that proves too athletic, just how many Cottage Living magazines will go flying, anyway? :D

I think this bed shows great ingenuity. Also, I covet those lamps. And those curtains (are they called sheers? That's what my grandmother always called 'em) are just plain classy.

NO. JUMPING. I REPEAT. NO. JUMPING. No, I suggest sitting on the edge of the bed, easing your negligible weight onto it in a very gingerly fashion.

No magazines will go flying, I trust! I have duct-taped them into solid, hefty blocks, and then strapped them in turn to the bed frame. Still, though, I recommend the easing.

The lamps are from K-Mart! And the sheers -- which is what we call 'em -- aren't as classy as they look! They are covered with whimsical little spirals in different colors, so they are pretty un-serious, as curtains go. But I like them too!
