After some very careful measuring and planning during our last visit, with some excitement we worked out that it would be possible to fit a King bed into the bedroom on the main floor!
And so, we emptied out the room, finding new homes for the sweet old pine cone side tables and an old chest of drawers. The new mattress arrived – a Sealy Posturepedic Crystal City 11.5″ Pillow Top, followed by new bed linen, a lovely white washed wooden slatted bed frame, matching side tables and chest of drawers for the wardrobe. Suddenly the room seemed much more open and light and somehow bigger even despite the much larger bed. The bedroom TV was relocated and mounted on a corner wall (a big thank you to Peter from The Sound Room in Frisco) and a new pine bench and cute bedside lamps purchased from Breck Bears in Breckenridge (a great place to find locally produced quirky mountain decor).
The next part of the plan for this room is to open it up with a double sliding door to the deck. In addition to giving access to the deck in summer, we think this will create an even greater sense of space, bring in lots of light and make so much more of the lovely view to the surrounding pines year around.
In the meantime, we hope you enjoy the changes so far!
