New Bedroom Furniture

The two new bureaus are in, as are the new queen-size mattress and foundation. The matching nightstands aren't due to ship for another 2 weeks. I forgot how much I like the new pieces - you definitely know that this is a man's bedroom also; not a frill or frouffy thing in there. Very soothing, though.
I ended up cancelling the headboard I had originally ordered - the company went Chapter 7, no new stock was being shipped, and I decided that the money they were asking was just too much for the floor model even with the selloff. So I found an upholstered headboard that I like even better - from Restoration Hardware, surprisingly enough (it's 66 inches tall, rather than 45) - ordered that and a frame today, and those are supposed to be in in 2-3 weeks. Meanwhile, the mattress and foundation are propped up against the wall in my living room. They provide a modicum of privacy, as they are big enough to block a window in there!
Anybody want to take bets that I'm still waiting for furniture at Halloween?

So glad you are getting your new bedroom furniture. It will be so nice to get it before the winter arrives. You can snuggle up in your new retreat with the upcoming cold months. Now you have GOT to get that camera out when you get it all together and show us your new bedroom.

I certainly agree that waiting until you're moved into you last or next-to-last assignment makes more sense. Unless you move yourself, you're at the packers'/movers' mercy. As the delivery men were coming in with the stuff I practically bit my tongue off, but they didn't bump into anything.
After almost 21 years of marriage, we thought it was about time to have a grown-up bedroom. Plus, I wanted to go to Hawaii this fall, but after seeing the anticipated total cost for that, DH was more than happy to agree to the new furniture....

If you had bet against me, you would have won - what exactly, I don't know, but you would have won....

Only problem with the great cottons is they wrinkle so much in the dryer, and I'm just not a sheet-ironer.
Hate to keep going back to it, but QVC's Northern Nights line and a couple of others are good deals when they're the day's special values. They range from 300 to 400 thread counts and look like silk on camera. Good for a bit of a splurge.
Sorry my inspiration is causing you to spend $$$. Isn't that always the way?
