Going to the Mattresses—my mattress, to be exact.

Our new mattress arrived today, which is why I'm going to make this short and sweet. I want to take a shower, cuddle up on my new bed, and read a little Helprin (see photo below) and fall asleep dreaming of light, love, bridges and a labyrinth of magical city streets, all before 10:00 p.m.

Ready, set, go.

Wahoo!

We bought a bed! A perfect and delightful bed. It is, in my mind, the ideal combo between a Tempurpedic and a pillow top, made by a Michigan company called King Koil. It arrives on Tuesday and I couldn't be more excited. In the meantime, I'm already sleeping much better thanks to my Tempur-Cloud Pillow, and thanks to Cody's mad skills at striking a bargain, we got a great deal. Now if only I could get this gorgeous 1910 bedframe. Beautiful, isn't it? I ran across it by accident when I was looking for DIY ideas for a bedframe. Do you have any tucked away?

However, that's probably a pretty distant project, and that's okay. Until then, I am so thankful for a new bed and pillow. God is good.

Since my husband and I, with our little Seb, will be relocating sometime next summer, I've been collecting photos of inspiring home interiors so that when the big move comes, I'll be ready with all sorts of inspiration to make our next place simply perfect. I stumbled upon this photo this morning, and instead of just dropping it in my little folder and moving on with my day, I decided it needed to be shared. I love how this room looks so peaceful and simple. I often feel that all-white rooms look undecorated or uninhabited, but not this one. The luxurious rug, old sailor painting and wood floors make this a place I would want to live in. I hope I can decorate a room like this in our new home.

I hope you have a restful weekend. We're visiting with some friends for a couple days, so I need to get our apartment clean before we leave!
