Headboard love too.

I couldn't in good conscience let the new headboard feel inferior to the steamer trunk, so here we are.

It arrived yesterday.  I do love it.  And I don't have any guilt over waving goodbye to the old headboard despite the fact that it was the first domestic item that D and I bought together.  

Should I?  

Eh.  It was a good six years past its expiration date.

Here's a glimpse of the old headboard.

The new headboard freshens up the room so much.  And it has more presence.

I'm kinda loving it more with the coast bar too.  That's what D dubbed the painting above the bed.

Yep, it looks like a bar of soap.  I painted it years ago to temporarily hang above the bed until we could find something we really liked, but we loved the coast bar day one so it has stayed.

The finish on the headboard is really beautiful.  It's this swirly brushed nickely coppery color.  As much fun as the Hipstamatic camera app is to play with on the iphone, I'll have to wait until I properly figure out how to work my dslr camera before I can get any decent close-ups of it.

I debated buying the footboard because it's pretty nifty too, but sometimes D and I like hanging our feet off the end of the bed while we sleep.  Are we the only weirdos that do that?

Final thought for the day:  What's with the funky formatting on this post?  No matter what I did I couldn't get rid of those extra spaces after the photos.  I didn't have that problem with my other posts. Stupid Blogger.  It's already driving me nutty and this is only my third post.

Anybody have a clue what the deal is with that?
