Sweet Dreams

A few months ago Julia transitioned from a toddler bed to a big girl bed. For a variety of reasons (including us being worried about her falling out and none of us having a good idea of exactly what type of bed frame/headboard/bedding we wanted) this meant a twin mattress on the floor.

However, when we were on vacation in Maine, Julia became quite enamored with the bed that she slept in. A shiny brass bed. As she told us one morning, "I love it because it's so shiny."

And so began our search for a twin size brass bed. In case you're wondering these are not easy to find - they don't really make many new ones and most of the ones I found used were queen size. But after many trips to new and used furniture stores, consignment shops, extensive web searching, and craigslist stalking I found the perfect bed.

It's a great compromise of classic bed (my & Andrew's preference) with some shiny details. To make it special we also ordered some new bedding including a pom-pom quilt which is so soft and snuggly that I kind of want to order one for myself!

Julia was thrilled with the finished product! Sweet dreams sweetheart!
