The Bed

My bed is an antique rope bed that my mother bought for $10 when I graduated from my crib many, many years ago. It is not close to a standard size and in desperate need of a new mattress so I debated about getting rid of it and buying a new standard sized bed. But when I took off the dust ruffle and the legs were exposed, I fell in love with the bed all over again. I was able to find a company in Columbia, SC that makes custom sized mattresses. With each new mattress, though, less and less of the headboard is exposed!
