The first month and a half of our marriage was spent with me sleeping on the couch and Nate sleeping on the floor next to me (sometimes I would give up the couch and go sleep with him...but the floor is just not very nice). Once we had a bit of money we bought a mattress and put it on the floor in our bedroom. It was definitely a step up but a mattress on the floor doesn't exude the coziness I think a bedroom should have. Instead of crawling up into bed we literally fell down onto it.
It's been almost 10 months of marriage and this past weekend we finally buckled down and bought one. Nate has been looking online for one basically since we said "yes" so this was no impulse buy. Gosh, beds are expensive! We went with an IKEA bed that we found online a few months ago. The closest IKEA in in Utah so we had to wait to get it until we went down there.
Our comforter is actually a down comforter we bought on ebay a few weeks ago with a duvet cover (also from ebay) that just came yesterday. The down comforter retails for $450 and we got it brand new for $50! Score! We almost bought one with the Macy's giftcards from our wedding and ended up getting pots and pans instead...definitely the right choice as we spent way less money later!
Have I said how happy I am that we have a bed finally?!?!?! It just makes our room 10X better and it doesn't take up as much space as I thought it would either. Also, can I brag about my husband for a bit? Because he put this whole thing together by himself while I was at work for 7 hours yesterday and totally surprised me. I was under the impression we were going to do it together later in the week (which now doesn't make sense since we are going to Ohio on Thursday...). Anyways, he's the best.
Life is good at home, sweet little home.
