Ditching My Bed and Other Bedroom Changes
Yes, you study that proper, I ditched my bed!
Again!
My husband and I even have carried out the switch from Bed to No-Bed a lot of times now, and I have to mention, We decide upon having No Bed! What I imply is NO Bed frame, simply mattresses at the ground.
Read alongside to find out why and also take a look at a number of the opposite adjustments I've made to our bed room.
So I first wanted to share what our actual bed frame looked like, but funny enough, when I went searching through the blog to find a picture of our bed, I realize that I haven't shared our bedroom with you since last Christmas, so anyway, here is the latest picture of our bed.
As you can see our bed is a slated sleigh bed that I had painted white. This bed is cute but we have had it for years and sometimes I wish for something new. But there really isn't anything wrong with this bed.
So then you may be asking, why did I ditch it?
And the answer is, because sound asleep with simply the mattresses at the ground is truly Super Cozy!!
It's a little hard for me to explain what makes it so cozy, but Jake and I both agree that it does and we have had many discussions about it. My theory is that it has something to do with your body being grounded to the floor. There's no room for energy to flow under the bed and so you get a sense of security. Again it's really hard to explain, but it just feels really cozy to us.
This manner of sleeping is truly common in eastern elements of the world, mainly in Asian Countries. Which additionally has me wondering, what's the whole factor of a bed anyway? Looks? A place for storage below? Historically a bed's purpose turned into maximum probable to help hold snakes and rodents away. Probably, proper?
Anyway....Just my deep thoughts about a bed frame :)
If you would really like to try napping on the floor for yourself, Do It! Especially when you have any problems with sleeping, due to the fact who is aware of, you could even locate that you sleep higher without a bed.
And so you know, we didn't actually get rid of our bed for good, We just took it apart and are storing it in the garage. There may be a time when I want the look that a bed gives to a room and so I'll always have that option of bring it back in.
You might have also noticed that our mattress are super deep which makes them really high anyway. So there wasn't too much of a change in the height then what we were already use to. But it really doesn't matter the size of your mattress, it's more of a feeling than a look anyway.
Okay sufficient about the bed, I additionally desired to proportion a few little changes I made right here in our bed room.
First of all I switched out my white curtains for some dark grey ones. These aren't even curtains, I've just cut a twin size bed sheet in half and called it good. Just changing the color of the curtains made such a huge change to our room.
I brought these antique shutters lower back into the room and then I got innovative using a braided belt as a curtain tie lower back. The belt has a gold clasp at the stop which goes nicely to clip to the shutter to maintain the curtain in region.
I also changed out the artwork. This frame use to hang horizontally with a family photo inside. However according to feng shui you should never keep a family photo in the bedroom. I'm not sure as to why, but it's been in the back of my mind for a very long time so I'm just glad that I finally switch it out to help ease my superstitions. I found the black and white vintage photography prints at a yard sale and absolutely adore them.
These's a matching frame with any other one of the prints on the alternative aspect of the window as well.
I additionally switched out the bedside lamps. The ones we had before had been too massive and heavy for this area. Now I have the driftwood lamp my son made me and a wicker one which I determined at a thrift shop. These lamps now in shape into the room so much more nicely.
Throw pillows get rotated round our domestic frequently due to the fact I love how much throw pillows can trade up the appearance of a area. Throw Pillows are constantly my go-to after I'm searching out a quick trade. This cute flower print pillow became one of my modern thrift store unearths for just a couple of dollars.
I layered the mattress with a plaid sheet, throw blanket, and a coffee tray creating a remarkable relaxed appearance.
Another trick for a fast bed room trade is to cover your bed with a colourful or printed mattress sheet. It simply seems like a duvet cowl however it can instantly convey a new check out the room without you having to spend any cash.
In the back corner of the room we have a papasian chair which is just a cozy little corner to sit and read a book.
And speaking of books, My current favorite book isCozy White Cottage by Liz Marie Galvan.
I Love Love Love this e book! I nonetheless plan on writing up a evaluate approximately this ebook so keep a look out for that in case you are interested by listening to greater.
Alright, friends this is eager about now.
