New Bed

When Jacob got married we decided to make another guest room in our house. I painted his room a darker tan with white trim. After some thought I decided I wanted a white bed in that room. I know people think I'm crazy, but we bought this cherry wood sleigh bed on Craig's list and I went to work. It really was a beautiful bed and I felt bad painting over it....about 4-6 coats to be exact, but I'm happy with how it turned out.





I've always LOVED this picture in our yard with some of our grandkids and decided to enlarge it on canvas.  I'm going to hang it over the new bed. I loved the quote by C.S Lewis to top it off.
Now our new guest room is waiting for some guests!!

  1. So beautiful! Too bad we live so far away. It turned out wonderful. I wouldn't have even recognized what room that was without you telling me!

  3. The canvas picture will go so nicely in that room. Grandparents always need a couple extra beds at their house for guests.

  8. As I said to Jan, I am such a slacker when it comes to documenting every day happenings and checking on family blogs. I've spent time reading and catching up, and have loved seeing your adventures and family pictures. Love the new guest room, and the bed looks fabulous. Hope we can visit and see it in person in the not too distant future. Love you both!
