When you think of a Bachelor pad, you typically think of mismatched furniture (which was VERY true for us until a few years ago), eating chinese food while sitting on milk crates, and for the most part, a mattress set resting on the floor. It screams undecorated, casual, careless living. … But that’s what we have right now. Hubs and I decided that due to a very large bulldog, a snuggly kitty, two adults, and very rarely an early-waking toddler, that we needed a bigger bed.
This meant that the current queen size set became the guest room’s bed and it was time for an upgrade. I got super picky about what I wanted: A Simmons Beautyrest, only one step down from the Westin’s heavenly Bed (those suckers are ‘spensive, but superbly dreamy!!). Arriving only one day after we ordered it, I now had a dilemma…. what do we do with the queen bed frame (that won’t fit upstairs and is badly scratched on the side rails due to aforementioned fatty bulldog) while we switch over??
A fairly quick Craigslist sale was my answer, but for the 10 days that it’s taking for our *new*, pretty fancy, no-dog-toes-touching bed frame, the mattress set was on the ground. Kitty likes it – much easier to pounce upon.
But it sure does look a little rough around the edges. Like we’re singles all over again, trying to make it against the man after college. And where’s my chinese food?! (Golden crispy prawns from Chin Chin, please, if anyone’s listening… Anyone? Pleeeease?)
Now I feel sad. Randy says no headboards. I have been living without one since 2005:(
