Bed-y Bye

Until we moved into our new house Nick and I slept in a full size bed, for way too many years.   It's almost comical now to figure out how two grown adults and two large dogs fit into such a tiny bed (plus Nick is very claustrophobic).  I think I had literally spent years sleeping within 1 ft. wide section of the bed.  Our new bedroom is about 14x15ft. giving us finally, a room large enough to upgrade to a king size bed.  We now happily sleep with the two dogs snuggled in the middle and not right on top of us.  It's lovely!   We feel like we are on vacation in a fancy hotel bed almost every night.   The bed, from Jordan's Furniture, is cream colored with a slightly distressed look and two drawers for extra storage in the front.

The only downside of a new bed is buying all new sheets, duvet, pillows, comforter and heated mattress pad (as far as I'm concerned the most critical piece of bedding).   Luckily, when we moved in we had a 10% off coupon at Overstock that we used to buy the mattress pad and duvet.   Our sheets and comforter came from L.L.Bean and the pillows from Home Goods.  The rug is also new, we found it at a L.L.Bean outlet store.  It's 8.5x11ft and mostly light green, blue and cream,  tying in the colors from the duvet nicely.

Also found at Home Goods was new lamp for my side of the bed.  Nick for some reason
hates lights so he opted not to put one on his side.  So much for a balanced look.  Anyways, the lamp was only $40 and I love how it's diamond pattern matches the design of the duvet.

Next up is some more artwork and new curtains to cover the balcony door (where the dark blue curtains are in the pictures above).

Snug as a bug in a rug...

Now that we have finally found 6 chairs for our new table and sold the old one the search is on for a new rug.   The current one we bought at Target 3 1/2 years ago and its starting to show its wear (rugs don't tend to do well with two shedding dogs).    I would really like to get a oval braided rug and I found a few that I love from LLBean fairly inexpensive (as far as rugs go).

 Blue Meadow Chenille rug 5x8 $299

This is my favorite one but my husband isn't crazy about it.

Tarragon Chenille rug 5x8 $299

The colors would work but its almost too pastel colored.

Navy/Green wool rug 4x6 $329

My husband and I both love this one and the colors so I think it is the winner.   Plus it is 100% wool and sound like it will be very durable and stain resistant especially having our two dogs.
