utterly impulsive

The secret is out - Kurt and I are impulsive people. {We're getting better, I promise!} Two weekends ago, we decided we really didn't like the look of our dark bed skirt that we sported at our apartment. We hadn't put it on here yet. We were really sick of looking at the box springs, frame, and wheels on the bed! We noticed that Ashley Furniture had the exact same bedroom furniture that we purchased a year ago before moving into the apartment. Kurt remembered seeing the bed with a foot board and side panels. So, we thought we'd go by and check it out. Sure enough, shortly after walking in the door, we were paying for our new stuff! Tip for those of you buying furniture for your home - opt for the pick-up. Delivery was going to cost us double the furniture!

I finally got a call on Monday night that it had arrived. We excitedly went to pick it up yesterday after work. By the time we got home, ate dinner, and cleaned up it was kinda late. But, without a second thought, we knew we needed to put together our stuff! Right after our room looked like this -

-I thought to myself, "We're nuts! Why are we doing this tonight!?!?" No turning back now! And so it begun...at...

Thankfully, it didn't take long. We were done, bed in it's place, sheets on, room cleaned up within an hour! First thing was taking off the old frame and getting it out of the room. We then had to add some hardware on to the side panels and crossbars. After that, we were ready to attach the side panels to the head and foot boards!

 

My strong man flying solo...after I tried to help and slit my finger on the bottom edge. {Imagine paper cut, but with wood. Youch!} I'm gonna live, don't you worry!

All we had to do after that was attach the crossbars, clean the stuff up a little, and put the room back together!

 

Kurt's got a little cleaning lady on his hands...not! Trying to tidy up.

You think it's gonna hold us? Kurt, you test it out! He's a little nervous about his first try!

Check it out. Having a bed with a foot board and side panels makes a HUGE difference! Worth every penny {and we got them on sale!!}.

Bye, bye rollers and box springs! We won't be seeing you anytime soon! What do you think? Makes our room look that much nicer, huh? 

Have a fabulous weekend, and Happy Halloween!! This will be our first year to have our very own trick-or-treaters! I'll be back next week with more updates and Halloween pictures!
