Last night I stumbled upon a bed that I absolutely loved.
I thought it looked classy, gender-neutral and could be the focal point of a bedroom that is either vintage, comfy and casual (the look I’m after right now) or made to look more adult and fancy (a look I may want in the future… maybe).
Ryan and I talked about the bed last night and he said he liked it a lot. We’ve looked at handful of beds throughout the past few weeks, but this one had a look we both really liked from the get-go.
Before committing to buying the bed, we slept on the decision and then around noon today it was time. I emailed Ryan saying I couldn’t stop thinking about the bed and he replied with a simple, “I’m in if you are!”
Now we just need a mattress and we’ll be all set. Oh and some dressers for the room would probably be a good idea. And sheets.
Lunch
I had a phone call earlier today where I was interviewed all about peanut butter and my favorite ways to enjoy the delicious nut butter. (Yeah, I could’ve kept talking for hours.)
A peanut butter craving was sparked early on in the day and I knew my lunch had to incorporate it somehow.
PB & B sandwich topped with pumpkin pie spice, served with a side of carrot sticks and hummus.
A great lunch for kids and adults alike.

Ooh wow that bed is gorgeous! It looks so fluffy and soft and omg I want to fall into it night now lol! I think you’ll be sleeping very well – once you get the sheets of course! 🙂
looks so comfortable! nice choice! 🙂
ps. now i have a craving for hummus!!
Can you share with us where you bought the bed? Also, i saw on Twitter you had asked your readers about bedspread ideas. If you come across bedspreads simliar to Anthropologie without the same price tag, please share!!
yes! we got it from overstock.com. and definitely check out west elm! a couple of people suggested it and i am LOVING some of their bedspreads though i haven’t committed to anything just yet.
I purchased a duvet cover from West Elm for 70% off and it is very calming and comfy. Definitely check them out
We have the pintucked duvet from West Elm and really love the look (a lot like Anthro).
What a great big purchase!! I love buying things that you know will really be so versatile in the future – gets you starting thinking about all the other ways you could start decorating that room 🙂
I love tasting plates like that. Looks awesome. And congrats on the bed!!
Ohhh, I like it! I’m on the hunt for a bed as well, so I’m definitely going to keep this one in mind!!
Omg! When you said you slept on it……… I thought you meant literally!!!!
me too!!! i was like… in the store orrrr did you get to take it home? how exactly would that work? hahahah!
ha! just changed the wording to make that more clear. 🙂
Love the bed. It looks so versatile and like it could go with any color combos you decided to decorate with.
I’ve got the webinar on my calendar. Looking forward to it!
I was just looking at one very similar to this! JC Penney surprisingly enough has a few different customizable upholstered options like this 🙂
OH MY FRIGGIN WORD- that bed is so stinkin’ cutinski. Like seriously. Me want. Now. Where ON EARTH did you find it??? I want to have it for my future bedroom, in my future house, for me and my future husband ( whom i have not met as of now, but hey i’m only 15). Or i can have it for me as a future bachelorette. I pick the first option…totally. Oh, and when you said you “slept on it” i thought you meant you slept on that bad… hehe, my bad. i stared at the screen for 5 minutes before it got through my thick head (moment of self-deprecation) . Oh heck. Anyway, go for the sleep number bed! So you can try it out and tell me how it is of course. And if that isn’t good, Temur-pedic or Simmons or maybe… yeah, i’ll shut up.
we bought it from overstock.com. 🙂
Overstock.com- i don’t think i ever got anything there. New suggestion for mama! And i noticed you changed the wording. I hope you didn’t do that just cuz this crazy gal can’t think straight 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing Julie!
I signed up!
I have to ask, does Sadie shed much? I’ve wanted the hotel-style down comforter with a white duvet, but it would probably be impossible to clean.
she sheds, but it’s not really noticable unless it’s on something black. you really can’t see any of her hair in our house- thank goodness!
Awesome bed! That must be so exciting- I know the feeling as we just got a bed this past weekend! It’s similar in style to yours. My parents got it for us as an early bridal shower gift and we are just lovin it!
Love it—so elegant and comfy-looking at the same time!
I work till 9pm on Thursdays 🙁 *booo!* I bet it’ll be just as interesting and fun though!
Love the bed! I bet it’s so exciting that your place is all coming together 🙂
Very grown-up looking bed! Good choice!
Love the new bed! Now I’m craving peanut butter.
Love the bed!!!!!
Peanut butter is my all time favorite nut butter!!! 😀
I registered!
My boyfriend and I own that same bed and we LOVE it! Great purchase! We paired it with navy and a light tan, then threw in some yellow decorative pillows to give it some light. I am sure you and Ryan are going to enjoy it.
love that link to the apple recipes–thanks!
Loves it 🙂
Love love love that bed! It’s modern, yet classy.
And how did you get an interview talking about peanut butter? That’s awesome!
thanks! i just got an email from a man who found me through some of the freelance work i did. 🙂
Very pretty! What size did you get?
we got a king! ryan said the size of the bed was “non-negotiable” since sadie sleeps with us nearly every night.
I love the bed that you guys got!!
Love that link to exercises you should never do at the gym; I do about half of them! Whoops!
I was just eyeing that bed myself! I loved that color and the one in white! Great choice!!
We got our bed from Overstock when we moved too! So easy!
This is unrelated to the bed post but.. I was thinking about your sauce (does that sound weird? haha) and I found a recipe for making individual pizzas using portobello mushroom caps instead of pizza crusts and it’s delicious!
YUM!
That bed looks so comfy! When Josh and I stayed at the bed and breakfast this weekend it had a headboard that looked so pretty but was the most uncomfortable thing to lean back on. It definitely made me realize that I want a solid, flat headboard when I go bed shopping! Score finding one that does all that and is cute too!
I just bought a bed too, actually! I bought a new mattress as well. It was about the cheapest mattress I could find – a memory foam one from Walmart – but it had amazing reviews and I highly recommend it if you’re interested! 🙂
oh cool. thanks, lori!
That bed looks amazing. Good beds are NOT overrated. 🙂 I’m so excited for you! And… love the idea of adding pumpkin pie spice to banana and peanut butter. You have the BEST creations. 🙂 I just read your blog advice from this morning also and you have so much great advice. Thanks! PS- I’m now addicted to your egg, cheese and jelly sandwiches. 🙂
LOVE the bed. You can totally go several ways with this one—good choice!
I bet you loved that phone call today. All about PB<—your heaven 🙂
such a pretty bed. when me and my boyfriend move out and buy a new bed we will def. get one like that b/c there is no need for a dust ruffle!
I love the bed! I can’t wait to be a “grown up”- not a poor grad student, and decorate my house with nice things. Until then I’ll live vicariously through you 😉
That bed looks so comfy! My favorite is the new sheets. There’s just something about new fresh crisp sheets that I love!
don’t you wish all decisions in a marriage were as easy as the bed?! such a cute look that can grow with your style.
Love the bed! I see you bought it on overstock.com…. What brand/item #, etc. I may want to have a matching bed 🙂
it was the upholstered king bed… i couldn’t find a brand, but i found it by searching for “king bed.” hope this helps!
Love it! Great choice!
And definitely check out the bedding on West Elm…it’s heavenly 🙂
Love love love the bed! Look forward to getting to buy a new bed one day! Once we have a nicer place we will start looking for one!
Interviews make me nervous but one about nut butter, I think I’d smash it :)!
I love that bed! I really want us to get a bed frame and headboard to match the rest of our bedroom furniture. I think it ties the entire room together. 🙂
What a beautiful bed! Is it king size? Very nice and very cosy! And I like the idea of the spices on peanut butter.
I love that bed! Especially love the clothed headboard. Makes it look comfy. 🙂
The bed is beautiful! A great choice.
So glad you didn’t go with the wrought iron bed. The lack of headboard is so uncomfortable. You need at least 4 pillows to put behind you to sit up and read.
The bed is beautiful and looks so cosy. It will be great to snuggle up and read in it with your winter on the way. I’m going into summer so no more snuggling for me 🙁
Hey there, just wanted you to know that we bought this exact bed from overstock, it says you don’t need a boxspring, but you do! Not a full one, but they have these half box spring platforms, and that’s what we got. I think a full box spring may be too tall, but without one at all it would be really low to the ground. You can look at my bedroom on ” a well dressed home” blog under masterbedroom makeover! Hope that helps ..ps: love sadie’s commentaries 🙂
Hey Jules!
I just stumbled upon this old blog post and was wondering which mattress and comforter you decided on? My fiancé and I are shopping for a new bed right now and there are sooo many options! Thanks!
