Guest Room Twin Over Full Bunk Bed

The wife has decided that with some of the money that we are getting back from our 2011 tax return we are going to find and buy a brand new twin over full bunk bed to put in the guest room. I had never heard of a twin over full bunk bed but after looking at some of the ones that I found online, I have to agree that they would be a good replacement for the futon that is currently in there now.

Last week when I was sick, she decided to sleep in the guest room so as not to catch the nasty virus that threw me for a loop for 3 days. She had never slept on the futon before and was surprised to find how uncomfortable it really was. It was so uncomfortable that she ended up sleeping the last two nights on the sofa!

So after searching the net for the perfect twin over full bunk bed we have decided to go with the Donco Twin/Full Mission Stairway Bunk Bed in Espresso and the fact that we aren’t going to be charged for the shipping and handling I do believe that we will be getting one heck of a deal.

Eclectic Furnishings

Filed under: Family,General Living — Copa @ 6:10 am

When my wife and I got together and we combined our households, I had very little furniture.  I moved into her house that she had been living in for years, and her house was fully furnished.  Most of her furniture is comprised of family heirlooms (the “polite” way of saying “hand-me-downs.”)  Some of her furniture had actually come with the house that she bought, left behind by the previous owners.  And some of her furniture she had bought over the years as she needed it.  Some she bought new, and some she bought used.  You could say our house is very “eclectic” in style!
