New Furniture at Last!

The last space in our house that remains to be properly furnished is our bedroom. We've been living out of suitcases and with makeshift shelving for months. The TV sits on a stack of milk crates, and my bedside table has been a Smirnoff box.

Back in May, we custom-ordered some furniture from a place over in Dartmouth called Lakecity Woodworkers. We got everything made in solid pine, with a clear finish (originally, we thought we'd get oak or maple, until we saw the price). Finally, all the pieces were delivered today - very exciting!

We got a big twelve-drawer dresser, which will pretty much be for my own use...


...and a king-size headboard (which is almost impossible to find in stores):


...and two bedside tables - begone Smirnoff box! Hurray!


It all looks great and I'm delighted. Felt sorry for the delivery guys though...today is the hottest day of the year so far (about 40 degrees with Humidex) and they were totally miserable by the time they finished...
