Christmas Gifts {Part 1}: Bedroom Furniture

Yay, we finally have new bedroom furniture!

As I mentioned before, this was part of our Christmas gift to ourselves this past year; our second part is a new sofa and recliner, which should be arriving in about four weeks now. I know, kind of an expensive gift, but it's been a long time coming. We've been using mostly free furniture until now, and Dan got a decent Christmas bonus this year, so we figured we'd treat ourselves and get something that would last a very long time.

We were a little worried about how everything would fit into the bedroom (we switched to the slightly smaller room since it has a bigger closet), but it fits pretty well. The bed is really high, but I kind of like it that way. Poor Mila, though...she won't be able to jump up and down. Especially since this room has hardwood floors and her legs will go all different directions if she tries jumping off the bed. Hopefully soon we'll get a rug and some new bedding, curtains, etc. for the room. For now, it's pretty bare...

Here's a shot of the new bed and two nightstands. I think we may have shifted them over a bit after I took this picture. Since there's that little bump-out in the corner, the nightstand sticks out past it and looks really weird when it's next to the bed, so we decided to push it up against the other wall.

I'm sure you can tell in the picture that there are some exposed un-stained parts on the headboard, which we'll have to have touched up, as well as a chip on the footboard.

In this picture, you can see it all, including the chest in the far right corner.

And here you can see the view from the other side of the bed, looking toward the door. On the left is the closet with a mirrored door.

It's pretty plain and boring right now, and even though I'm really excited to decorate it, I'm dreading the cost of having to buy all new things. For now, we can get by with what we have, but I want to make it really warm and cozy.

Well, hopefully we will have pictures of our new living room furniture soon! I'm really looking forward to getting our old junky sofa and loveseat out of there....
