i happened to have the entire week off of work this week as part of my company's new use-it-or-lose it policy and decided that the time was right to upgrade my son's bed and paint his room. he has been sleeping in a fisher-price race car toddler bed, which has served him well, but it has started to get a little small for him. besides, it would be decidedly uncool for a boy graduating from kindergarten next week to still be in a toddler bed. i had been looking for weeks on craigslist for a twin bed and came up empty until last night. found the perfect fit, mattress, box springs, frame, and bookcase headboard for less than i could have gotten a new mattress! what did we do before craig and the innerwebs! tuesday we bought paint, comforter and sheets, yesterday i painted, and today i picked up the bed. happy to get this project done and be productive with my time off.
