New Bedroom Furniture

Finally started getting deliveries of our new furniture. Had hoped to coordinate everything for a single-day delivery, but we all know we make plans, but God laughs.

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?

SteinMart, Linens n' Things, and Bed Bath and Beyond usually have decent prices and often have coupons for 20% off. I could stand to get some new linens too.

Have you thought of a feather motif? Might feel warm and cozy.

Remember that awful bathroom on Trading Spaces that Hildy did where she hot-glued fake flowers to all the walls? And didn't she stick straw on the walls in another house? UUUUUUGLY! I'd have sued if that were my house. Actually I wouldn't have allowed her in the front door.

Patty and Phyllis - Thanks for the shout-out. It's been easy going without and not giving in to the "bad" stuff. What's going to be hard is adding things back in like the occasional Italian dinner with pasta. That's going to be my real test, and I hope I'm up to it.

I think journaling is going to have to becomer part of Phase II for me, if for no other reason than to keep track of what I've eaten, not a psychological study of why I ate it when I did.
