For some young couples they begin a marriage by buying a piece of nice furniture and add to it as finances permit. Well, after 35 almost 36 years of marriage, Dan and I finally decided to buy some "real" bedroom furniture. We got a new bed complete with head and foot board and Temprapedic mattress. I consider this a big step. We bought matching nightstands, and a huge 10 drawer dresser. The bed as 6 drawers under it too. Until yesterday, Dan had ALL THE DRAWERS! Yes, that is 16 drawers of his clothing. OKAY, so as not to completely throw him under the bus, he did give me three of the big under the bed drawers just yesterday. Hopefully today we are going to buy a new bedroom set for the guest room. It is actually the same stuff but will be in a darker wood stain.
Unfortunately, if you come spend the night at the Pedersen home, you will have to sleep on a standard/full size bed. A queen won't even fit in the room if you would like to walk around the bed! Can you say cozy accommodations?! We painted the bedrooms and they look so nice and fresh now. The good news~ I get the new dresser in that room all to myself! Sorry guests, you will need to live out of your overnight bag. :)
We also finally gave up the glass dining table and those incredibly comfortable Danish beechwood chairs. We updated to a darker wood table set that is counter height and has 6 chairs with a leaf and two more seats when we want them. A kinda of cool feature is the Lazy Susan in the center of the table. It is a fun set, but you really can't beat the old chairs for comfort!
The only other furniture we need is a new desk type thing for the "craft room" but the old dining table that I grew up with continues to do just fine as a card making desktop.
