Preparations
We are preparing to redecorate one of our guest bedrooms. I feel like I've been saying this forever. But before we could begin, I needed to get rid of the large desk and the existing full size mattress and box spring. A couple weeks ago I successfully sold the desk, but have had absolutely zero interest in the mattress and box spring.
So I've decided to donate it. Its a little over 20 years old, but its only been as a guest bed and has probably only been slept on 3 or 4 times a year. The reason we're getting rid of it is because it is a full and the new comforter and sheets we bought are queen. Once the room has been painted we'll get a new queen bed on which to put the new linens.
So my friend Bryan is coming this weekend in his pick-up truck to pick up the mattress and box spring and take them to some friend of his who runs a halfway house or shelter of some sort. I'm glad the bed will continue to get some use AND that it will get out of my guest room.
I'm taking a few days off work soon to paint and redecorate this room, and do some other projects around the house. Hopefully I won't have too many interruptions from work. Here's a sneak peak of the room's new design:

"the new comforter and sheets we bought are queen." OF COURSE they are; I would expect nothing less! :)
how wonderful that someone can put perfectly good household goods to use!
I'm glad the bed is going to a good home, its terrible to toss out perfectly good things. I take it you dont have a college near by.
That black and white material is awesome! When you finally get the room finished, please post a photo, I'd love to see how you are going to work that pink and that nifty fabric together.
