Assembling The New Bed

Once Ian got home we were able to put the bed together. I am absolutely in love... (minus the nailheads). These are just camera phone pictures in bad lighting. When there is better light I will take some pictures with my regular camera. /swoon

The high profile box spring fit perfectly with the rails of the bed.

Somehow we managed to put the giant heavy pillow that is our mattress onto the box springs. Love it.

This is the end result. Yes, we are those people who have a million pillows on our bed. That's exactly what we wanted. Our favorite hotel in Seattle has a bed just like this one. King Size. Fluffy. A million pillows. The best part of the bed was being able to sit up and lean against the big pillows. They're not "decorative". We can lean against the white Euros. The king size blue pillows are the normal side sleeper pillows. The shams that match the duvet I will use to prop myself up at night as usual. Ian will probably push his aside. It is a giant comfy "grown up" bed. Finally.
