New Mattress

Before I moved to Cambodia I had a regular bed...two mattresses and my bed frame. When I moved my bed to my parents house I had to throw out my box spring mattress. I figured I would just get a new one when I got back. But the longer I was back the more it got pushed to the back burner. And then I got married and we used Dan's bed because it was Queen size and mine was only a Full. Well the time finally came when I saw an ad for a great deal on mattresses.

On Saturday we headed out to find the store that was advertising. As we pulled in we both commented on how shady this place looked and I was excited to go in. It had the feel that if we came the next day nothing would be left inside the warehouse. Still after checking prices at other furniture places we went back and bought a box spring for my bed. But how to get it home? After talking about borrowing or renting a truck we were inspired to try strapping it to our car :)

 The guy helped strap it down and off we went. We drove slow on back roads and made it home with everthing still intact.

 It only took a couple minutes to move the top mattress (we have it set up for all of our house showings) and put the bed frame together. It is honestly the easiest bed to assemble and take apart. So here is the before and after pictures.

After

Dan and I both have gotten so use to the mattress on the floor that when we saw it all set up we both felt like it looked really weird but also really great. We had to try it out and we could tell there was a new mattress on the bottom. My other box spring was very well worn in... this one not so much :) BUT we now have an actual bed to offer if someone was to come stay with us!

Plus if I get tired of sewing or quilting I can just lay down and take a nap :)
