Back in 1997 we purchased a double bed for the bedroom that our exchange student had been occupying for 9 months. We replaced a twin bed with the double because her parents were coming for a visit from Denmark. The room is rather small so we never thought about getting a larger bed. The bed has served us well for 17 years. After sleeping in a double bed at my parent's house when we visited, I know that it's not the most comfortable after having a queen at home. We always managed with that so we didn't worry about it when the kids came to visit. Recently we've had some other guests come to stay with us and we just felt like the bed wasn't very comfortable for others of our generation. You know when you're younger, you can adapt a little better to inconvenient circumstances. We had to give up a little floor space but decided it would be better to have more space in the bed rather than space next to the bed. It is a little tight if you get in on the side next to the wall, but really, how much time will that be? Hopefully, we'll have lots of guests come and stay in our guest room over the coming years! And it will be a nice change for our kids when they come to visit.
I love that desk. So much of the furniture has changed over the years, but that is still the same. :) We'll look forward to visiting and sleeping on the new bed.
ReplyDeleteThe reason the desk is still around could be because I bought it for your father...it's not mine to do anything with!! ha
