Takin' it To the Mattresses.

Well, some parts do. We still don't have any window treatments and that OO-gly fan is still in place, but see those box-spring mattresses sneaking out from under the bedframe--they are officially gone and it only took 9 months, which is funny because the project only took around 30 minutes.

When we bought our bed back in 2008, it came with slats to hold the mattress.  And then my parents bought us this great mattress set--the box springs, too.  So, we used to stack the set on top of the slats and you could barely see any of the headboard.  Our bed was so high!  When we moved to this house, we wanted to get our bed set up immediately, and with the looming fan, having our bed as high as we had it in our apartment was a scary thought.  So we just kinda plopped the mattress set inside of the bedframe and called it good...for almost an entire year.

Yikes.  So one night this week, when we both had some energy--we moved our box springs into the third bedroom across the hall.  I love that they are just 2 twin boxsprings, because I know we will definitely use them when Greta and any future children are old enough for a "big kid" bed.  For now, they will fit in nicely with all the other junk we aren't using in that room.
