Saturday was deemed "Michelle Day." We spent the day doing things I've really been wanting to do. We slept in Saturday morning, but not too late. We quickly got ready and went to the local Farmers' Market where we spent a few dollars on a bottle of fresh squeezed orange juice, some super sweet strawberries, and a couple summer vegetables. Next we went home and scrubbed everything from top to bottom. We scoured the bathroom, mopped and vacuumed the floors, and finished the laundry. Oh boy, I love a clean home! Then, after spending the afternoon cleaning away, we went on a bedroom-set shopping trip.
Miles and I have been seriously contemplating purchasing a bedroom set. Whoa, this was a big deal for us. We don't do big purchases very well, we're almost too careful. For example, I think we went to about nine different jewelers before we bought my wedding ring. We tend to think about it, talk about it, budget it, go shopping, talk about it some more, then go back, see how we feel, talk about it, etc. It's a very long process. So, we went shopping a couple weeks ago to get an idea of what we were getting into, but we really didn't find a bedroom set that we liked. Then on Saturday, we ventured out again. This time, we found a set we both loved. Not too traditional, not too modern--perfect for us. After finding the set we wanted, we just sat in a couple la-z-boy chairs and crunched some numbers.
After all, this is a BIG investment for us. We deliberated for quite awhile, reasoning that we'd have this furniture in our home for likely the rest of our lives. We've been told that couples usually only have two bedrooms sets throughout their marriage. Also, right now we probably have the most money we'll have in the next ten years! Because I'm working full time we are just a bit more comfortable than we will be when we have a family and when I'm not working. So this was our decision: A queen bed, one nightstand, and a chest of drawers. We put half the money down, and thankfully didn't need to finance anything. The other half will be paid upon delivery in about 4-5 weeks! Waiting 4-5 weeks seems like forever, so for now, we just sit in our empty room and imagine what it will look like. We are very excited!

That bedroom set looks so nice! That is so exciting for you guys! Our room is just plain jane. . We are lucky we have our bed on the metal! haha! Well, Congratulations!
That's awesome! I would love to have a bedroom set, but there's no way in heck we'll get one anytime soon. Our bedroom is actually my least favorite room in the apartment because it's so ugly and boring. Oh well. Maybe after we're done with law school.
Congrats on yours! It looks nice!
I like that set. Very classy and cool! Congrats!
Awesome!! That's so smart to pay it right away. I really like the set that you chose. I'll have to show it to Whit. He's not too interested in a bedroom set but I so want that to be our next big purchase.
That is awesome! Where did you find it? We need to chat sometime!
