Last week Aaron and I sat down a made a list of everything we would like to start looking for in the next few months for the house.
1. A new big girl bed for Hannah. We want to move her into a twin size bed and retire the crib.
2. A nice wooden dresser that can be painted and placed in the nursery for Titus's clothes.
While looking periodically on Craigslist, i was discouraged when people were wanting $50 for a single dresser (chest of drawers), $30-50 for a dinky twin bed frame, and $75-100 for a used (by college students many years) twin mattress with box spring.
Then i found my deal. A twin bed frame (wooden head board and base board with rails), a gently used mattress and box spring, a sturdy wooden dresser, and two wooden night stands for only $70.
I emailed the couple immediately and they responded that the set was still available and that we could come look at it any time. Sunday after church we all hopped into the car for an hour drive up to Live Oak to buy Hannah her first big girl bedroom set.
Everything is in great condition. We are planning on stripping and painting the dresser, bed frame, and night stands. We will be sure to post more as the transformation occurs.
(The mattress is in the top left corner and the bed frame is between the mattress and the box spring)
