The frame of the bed I sleep in is one I bought from a neighbor back in 2006 in Connecticut. It's OK, but has never really held together well. I had decided with this move to keep my eyes open for a bed frame I really like, and maybe even a complete bedroom set. No more cast offs and second hand stuff for a change.
I have already looked in the Amish furniture store, but didn't see anything that caught my attention. Perhaps I should ask to look in their catalog. Meanwhile, as I wander about and encounter furniture stores, I take a minute to look. So far, I have not seen anything I like. It's all so heavy and dark.
Maybe it would help if I could define what I like! I will take some time to look online to see what is appealing. Of course, it will require vigilant watching to find whatever style I end up liking in a sale price I can afford (can you get a bed for $20?). I have a wonderful mattress set that my sister gave me - a comfy and expensive set she decided to gift me with. What a blessing. So its not like I need the whole shooting match, just the headboard, footboard and rails.
Whilst all this was percolating in my head, the darn bedframe I have broke and my mattresses are now resting solidly on the floor. I am thinking I will not bother to bring this frame, even though it is fixable, to the new place, but just keep the mattress on the floor until I find what I want. That works for me. When I lived in Illinois, I had my mattress on the floor and enjoyed being down there. For one thing it helped my flexibility and for another, it makes you feel humble as if you are a lowly monk or something.
Enough silliness for now. We shall see what happens. Its all kind of exciting!
