New Furniture...

I decided to finally "grow up." I'm 36 years old, and for the first time in my life I decided to buy a bedroom suit. This was a big thing for me!

Several factors went into this decision. For one, I've been having a lot of back problems. I figured it was "life" that caused me to wake up in pain every morning. However, asking around, I haven't found too many people who experience that. Another factor was that my queen bed, which I've had since 1993, is sagging pretty good in the middle. And then finally I guess it has to be the fact that my bedroom looks like a college apartment. No headboard, and my chest has only 5 drawers... definitely not enough to manage my wardrobe.

So off to the furniture stores we went. Chandra helped me out by being the female influence. We went to Haverty's, The Dump (there's a reason they call it that), and Freed's. A few months ago I had a dream where I bought furniture that was black. That probably tainted my view, because I kept looking for "really dark" furniture.

We found it at Freed's. I ended up buying a sleigh bed, armoir, chest of drawers, and and end table. I also bought a king size mattress - Sealy pillow top. I'm pretty excited about it all. Should be here in 6-8 weeks. Anyway, here is a picture of it below:
