Out With the Old!

July 22, 2016

I am a purger by nature.  But my husband… not so much.  I had to wrestle a moth-eaten college sweater out of his hands.  So imagine suggesting to him that we get a new bed after almost 25 years!

P1090375
It all started because someone in my family (Tim) has developed restless leg syndrome.  Or, at least that is my diagnosis as Dr. Dowling.

P1090372
After 6 months of deteriorating sleep, I decided we needed to get a new bed.

P1090382
This decision did not go over well.  We bought our bed frame in LA at this great place called Civilization on Venice Boulevard.  Walking the floor of the store, you saw all of the sets for sitcoms filmed in LA: Seinfeld, Melrose Place, Full House, Mad About You.  Am I dating myself yet?

P1090378
We decided on the pine/metal queen bed frame that was featured on Mad About You.

P1090369  P1090373
This little purchase had problems from the beginning.  Namely, the frame was too big for a queen bed.  Kind of an issue.  Our box spring fell through the bottom multiple times before we got plywood cut to fit across the frame to hold up the bed.  The footboard was too short for Tim too.  Many mornings his feet would be sticking straight through it.

P1090380
But, we persevered!  Until I waved the white flag.

P1090386
Time for a TEMPUR-Pedic.  Blissful sleep and my glass of red wine won’t fall over!

Tim and I test drove ten different TEMPUR-Pedic mattresses and picked the new cooling comfort TEMPUR-contour.  No idea what that means.

P1090388
New bed, no headboard.

P1090392
New bed, new headboard.  No footboard.  Tim is sad.

P1090394  P1090391  P1090393
P1090398
Since we got the new bed ~ I get up every day at 6am, have lost ten pounds and never wake up in the middle of the night anymore.  Ok, none of that is true, but I do love it.

P1090402
Our Mad About You frame is in the basement, just in case….

I have loved design ever since I painted my bedroom walls high-gloss lime green in the fourth grade. A lifelong hobby, mixing low cost items with a few pricier pieces thrown in, has become The Wry Home. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t!
