After a year of neglect, I'm back. I've thought about posting often, but like so many, my time has been swept away by Facebook.

About two years ago I bought a bed on Craigslist. It's an antique headboard and footboard, sans stretchers to hold the two together. This weekend, being a long holiday weekend, Joe and I ran to various stores, picking up hardware, screws, and wood to attach the headboard and footboard to the drawer pedestal that my mattress set sits on. After many hours of work, it all came together beautifully. I'm thrilled.

Isn't it pretty?! I love it.
