In With the New!
Posted by AndreaBy wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures. (Proverbs 24:3-4)
JT and I have new bedroom furniture! After nearly 6 years of marriage, we finally bid farewell to our hodge-podge bedroom furniture. Though mix and match and shabby chic may be popular themes on HGTV, neither theme was working well in our bedroom!
The former bedroom “set” (and I use the word ’set’ very, very loosely) was a not so harmonious mix of JT’s bachelor days and my bachelorette days. The pieces were functional but were a variety of colors, sizes, and styles that did not compliment one another. Our new matching bedroom set is dark walnut and features a gorgeous sleigh bed, a tall chest of drawers, a wide mirrored dresser, and a matching nightstand. (An added bonus is that the new bed is too high for Sweet Pea to climb up onto!)
In addition to the bedroom set, we also purchased a large comfortable chair. This chair is my favorite part of the bedroom! It’s the perfect place to curl up with a great book or snuggle with my honey. However, whenever I’m hanging out in my favorite chair, I’m usually on my laptop planning our weekly menus, chatting with the gals on my favorite forums, surfing the internet, or working on my current writing project.
If you ask JT what I’m doing while lounging in my chair, he may share a different opinion. He thinks I’m up there quietly doing some online shopping. This may or may not be true. On occasion, my browser may have been pointed towards…

No matter how we spend time in our bedroom, JT and I love our new furniture. We’re on our way to creating the perfect retreat just for us!

Isn’t it nice to have a special place where the two of you can curl up? What a blessing that you and your husband were able to buy nice furniture for your bedroom. Hey, how many of us stepped right into a newly furnished place when we got married?!! We didn’t. We still have most of the stuff from our bachelor/bachelorette days, and are still using most of it. Many blessings to you and your family. I’ve really enjoyed reading your posts, looking at your ideas or suggetions, and just hearing your heart for family throughout your blog. It is so refreshing. It’s a target my family and I shoot for, with God’s leading and our yieldedness of course.
Thanks so much! My family is VERY important to me and that Proverbs 31 woman is my inspiration! The Thorpe family is striving to live lives that please our Heavenly Father.
Thanks for the visit:).
