This was a unbelievable find!! Last year Matthew and I had spotted this beautiful sleigh bed at our town wide garage sale. It was priced at $700. As the weekend continued the owner lowered and lowered the price until she had it down to $250. My husband asked her what she would take for the bed....her response blew him out of the water $150!
She told him she paid $3000 for it new and was moving and didn't want to take it. Why not... is my only question. But hey, for me it was a great find and I absolutely love this bed. It is super solid and has side rails that are over a foot tall. When I brought it home we had never had a king bed before so we completely redid our room. It went from blue and white to this. This is what in our family we call thock and roch, which is thick and rich for... your house ( well that's what we call it anyway) I am participating and spreading the word about
OMG...you totally SCORED! That realy is a beautiful, sturdy bed...congratulations on your fabulous find! And thanks for linking up to Frugalicious Friday!

P.s.
on another note, I read that post about your upcoming move. I understand what you are going through.
My husband had our 'dream' house built for us after we were forced to live in a tiny hawaiian house with NO ROOM. ZERO. YET PLENTY of cockroaches that would come in through the cracks of the walls.
The only way I made it through those 3 years was knowing that our dream home was being built 6000 miles away.
I got to live in our DREAM HOME. So big that my home echoed and actually felt lonely.
Because of his job, we had to move and I CRIED DAY AND NIGHT FOR 3 MONTHS. I remember calling my mom in my walk in closet, CRYING HYSTERICALLY saying I was NOT MOVING AWAY FROM MY dream home.
Well, to make a long story short, we did move, to a COZY KITCHEN BY THE SEA....
and I now have PEACE like I have never known.
This is EXACTLY where God wanted me to be and I was trying to fight it. How frustrating for God....to see my tears because I was not open to change yet again. He was tring to give me a GIFT. The gift of PEACE...and yetI could not see it in the midst of my misery.
