spent some time yesterday changing the den to a bedroom;-)…

furniture was moved inside and outside of the room… a second mattress was brought down from upstairs to make the pullout couch more comfy, a quilt came up from the basement, and then the bed was made up in anticipation of company…

a basket of towels was put together, a bigger fan moved into the space, and a little rosebush was added to brighten it…

post its were added to advise the proper names to use when speaking with the household technology so that lights would go on and off as requested, lol…

looks very cozy…

spent time in the den, getting it ready for a guest…

furniture was rearranged and a few tables moved out of the space, lol… it was interesting to figure out where to put them…

once the couch was opened up, an extra mattress was brought downstairs, thankfully I had help with that…

next sheets, a quilt, comforter, and pillows were added…

then I tested out the bed, to be sure it was comfortable;-)…

some flowers and we will be ready;-)…

last Saturday, after I got home from dropping my son-in-law at the airport, I wrestled the mattress upstairs … it was on the pullout couch while he was here to make it more comfortable for him…

that returned the den to normal…

Sunday I lay a comforter on the bed, got the mattress on top and secured the four corners… then I was able to move the bed away from the wall and slip the mattress behind it…

sounds a lot easier than it actually was, lol…

pleased with the results and rather proud that I did it on my own…

those big girl pants;-)…

on Saturday the bedroom got a lovely coat of very light pink paint… really, white paint with a touch of purple in it… it looks beautiful and I am very happy with it…

on Sunday my daughter and I went out and I bought a new mattress… did go over the budget which I had set for myself, but after seeing what they cost had to raise it a bit to get good quality… saved nearly half the original cost by buying on Black Friday weekend…

today the mattress arrived and my son-in-law was able to be here to accept the delivery…

the old mattress was 10 inches high… this one is 14 inches and I am getting used to reaching down to answer the phone and put things on the bedside table, lol… clearly we are going to have to make a new headboard sooner, rather than later, because there is very little of it visible, lol…

and then I had to stop on my way home to get new sheets because none of mine were going to fit…

have just climbed between the sheets and am looking forward to a good night’s sleep…

had a wonderful hot tub tonight… the stars were bright and it was very quiet… because the temperature has been so warm there wasn’t even the sound of skating in the rink at the community club, because the ice is likely melted…

been a while since the tub has been working properly, so it was great to go out and have it hot, lol…

when I came back in I made some hot chocolate with coconut milk and a few squares of a coconut Lindt bar… topped the snack off with some almonds…

I’m slowly reintegrating items into the bedroom and I started with this little vignette…

always fun to reorganize a space, but it can be a bit of work…

tomorrow a new mattress will be arriving which should help with my sleep…

looking forward to having the space all set up and comfortable… one little step at a time…
