Beds, Beds, We Need More Beds!

There’s just the two of us, so one would think one bed would suffice. However, there are also two guest rooms that  need to be outfitted with beds.  I elected to place in one of the guest bedrooms two twin beds and the other room a queen size bed.

On Craigslist (Luv that place!) I found two headboards for $25.00 that looked like this:

The headboards were in great condition, but I wasn’t feeling the wood. Painted the headboards and now they look all nice and crisp:

I finished this project in time for Easter. The two sets of bedding I had picked up at the JC Penney Outlet awhile back. Since I have an addiction for bed linens I know I’ll probably change the linens as often (at least) that the seasons change.

Ah-ha, you only see one bed in the above image. The headboard has been painted, I have the linens, but have yet to purchase another mattress set.

Our bed:

The verbage above the bed I put up for Mr. Wonderful’s birthday. I still want to add some sort of a scroll around it. The French translation roughly is “I love you today more than yesterday but not as much as tomorrow.” The man speaks French and I love hearing him repeat the phrase. (OK, so really in some ways it was more a gift for me.)

In the attic I had a lonely twin bed frame. Certainly no longer had a use for it since I scored on the CL headboards. What to do, what to do?!?! I came across an idea on one of the blogs (hate that I can’t credit the blog because I can’t recall which blog!) for this bed to bench idea. Here it is “in progress.” :

Adore the idea! Still have no idea where in the house it’ll land, nor what the final paint color will be….but loving it!

Recall at the begining I said the other guest bedroom would have a queen bed? Well, I’m still looking for a headboard or headboard/footboard that speaks to me. So, WE NEED MORE BEDS!

Have a lovely day and thanks for stopping by!
