A look back at Art adding extra supports in the middle with plumbing pipes.
The bed was almost done.
It's finally finished! Here's the bed we bought on Craig's List, stripped, polished and sealed.
I had the worst time finding a bed skirt reasonably priced in the islands not to mention 18 inches high so I checked Overstock.com. I found something very reasonable but they didn't mail to Hawaii. Therefore I had them send the bed skirt to my daughter, Tiffany in Chicago and she mailed it to me. It looks fine although there's a seam in the middle of the side panel which is pretty crappy. Still, Art says nobody will notice unless they're looking for it. I don't see why Overstock won't send to Hawaii because they can use flat-rate boxes for these small items. Ah well, thank goodness for daughters who are willing to help out their ol' mom and dad.
Now then, I just need to find some tall night stands and we'll be all set in that guest room.
So you weren't tempted to have a go at making the valance on your sewing machine!! The bed looks terrific, well worth all the hard work.
ReplyDeleteRest assured, sleep well, sweet dreams, etc.
ReplyDeleteI actually calculated how much it would cost for me to buy the material and sew it and found it would be far cheaper for me to buy it from Overstock at the discounted rate. I'll need to find another project for my sewing machine. :-)
ReplyDeleteDina: What an awesome feeling! I just posted this and both you (in Israel) and Amanda (in England) commented. Wow! It's fun to think we're all communicating right at this moment across the ocean.
ReplyDeleteAll of your time and hard work paid off, Kay. The bed looks beautiful and comfortable.
ReplyDeleteI love the bed skirt you bought! What alot of hard work, but the bed looks fabulous!! Great job Kay and Art!!!
ReplyDeleteyou guys are certainly hard workers and get the job done. looks lovely...
ReplyDeleteBlessings thank you for stopping by my place. Sorry I missed you I was out and about browsing through blosphere. Nice bed, Art's pretty handy. This room looks really spaceous, its difficult to get places with large rooms these days they try to pack as much apartment/houses in as little space as possible as a result people are living in match boxes unless of course they are independently wealthy and can shell out the extra hundreds of thousands for the extra square footage.
ReplyDeleteTake care, hope you get those night stands....Happy Mother's Day and have a fantastic weekend!
The bed and room look so very welcoming. What an awesome job Art and you did on the bed. I think its wonderful you two work on projects together! Happy Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteKay, now you can fix up my master bedroom to make it as inviting as your guest room.
ReplyDeleteThe bed looks fabulous! You and Art have done such a great job and it's been such fun following all your projects! Hope you have a great weekend! I've had trouble posting a comment, so if you get two, that's why!
ReplyDeletelove your Log Cabin quilt ... my favorite pattern ... I've made two, one from scraps of our clothing since the boys were little, shirts, pyjamas, shorts, etc.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about being cheaper to buy ... I hardly sew anymore because of that
Hi Kay! The bed looks great. Well done. I've been hearing a lot of people using Craig's List. I must check this site out. Lisa
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! and I know what you mean about it being cheaper to buy ready made than to make your own. Fabric is expensive.
ReplyDeleteWho wouldn't love to sleep in your lovely guest room in Hawaii??
