Bed Bliss

Ok, seriously, WHY DO DOGS INSIST ON ROLLING AROUND IN OTHER DOGS' POOP? I don't get it. So for the second time today, my dog is drying off at my feet. Although the first time was because he got playtime in his kiddie pool. I swear I do more laundry for his towels per week than I do for my own clothes. Dogs. This is why I like cats more than dogs.

Funny story: When Matt came home from work today, I said "Hey! I'm already looking up recipes for a dog friendly birthday cake." Matt replied with, "Why? So you can research how dumb of an idea that is?" And this is why the dog likes me better. Take that.

A few weeks ago, Matt and I decided to make a big change. For our entire marriage thus far, we have been sleeping on his childhood bed, a full bed with a box spring. It's quite a comfortable bed, but after almost two years of two people, the mattress is slowly giving up. Both of our backs were killing us when we woke up and we felt cramped. I love my husband, but sleeping on a full bed was starting to get seriously annoying. We're not all that cuddly of people, and when I already get really hot in bed (I cannot wear long pajama pants to sleep or I will wake up sweating like no tomorrow), I had a hard time sleeping with no breathing room.

Solution? A queen size sleep innovation mattress! Yeah! It's the knock off brand of the Tempurpedic bed and it's AMAZING! We found out about this from a couple that we know down here and we decided to do it. We were hesitant about buying a mattress online, but we figured for only $300 we could at least keep it and put it in the new quest room while we suffered until we could get a new one. The mattress had GREAT review online, the only negatives were that it got really warm. That worried me a little, but we decided to do it anyway. And guess what?! It's the most amazing mattress ever! It's ridiculous how much more room there is on a queen vs. a full. It's been about two weeks and I still think the bed is gigantic. I don't know how Matt and I ever dealt with a full. It doesn't even keep in heat that much, I haven't had any overheating issues yet! Yay! And no more back pain for either of us. I think this is the best $300 we have ever spend. I highly, highly recommend this bed to everybody.

We also got to shop at Ashley Furniture for a new bed frame! The bed is actually quite low to the ground. I was worried that Jack would jump on and off of it at his leisure, but he still insists on being picked up. I don't know why, but at least it's keeping him off the bed during the night :) I love the new frame, it's contemporary and will go with pretty much anything. Yay!

We also went on another online shopping spree for some art work. Our bedroom is finally decent and done :) Here are some pictures:

 I also have some red accents (pillows and a throw), but they're not on because someone who shall remain nameless likes to knock them down for someone else to destroy. I painted the nightstands and I finally hung up the curtains! The headboard is faux leather. And we have switched out the comforters because two someones who shall remain nameless worked together to destroy it.

                      Because you can never have enough picture frames hanging around the house

 Yay art! The top one is a picture on canvas of Mt. Rainer. The picture on the right was ordered from Bed Bath and Beyond, it's woods. Reminds us of the PNW which we miss so much. 

If you look closely, you can see the two drawers the bed frame has! It's a great bed :)
