Bedroom Furniture

When we first got married we didn’t have any furniture. We got a bed from my sister and found a discount bedroom set from  a local furniture store, which was really 2 dressers. We made due with what we had and over the next 4 years we bought different pieces of furniture with tax money, TDY money, and Steven’s reenlistment bonus. We were very excited that here in Turkey you can bring a furniture maker a photo of what you want and they’ll make it for a fraction of the retail price. It took us about a year but we finally decided on a nice bedroom set for us and ordered it about a week ago. It’ll take 6-8 weeks for it to be done, but we are very excited. The collection we choose had a TV armoire in  it, but Steven didn’t like it. We showed Sunny, the furniture maker, a photo of the tall chest of drawers in the collection and he is going to turn that into a tv armoire that will fit up to a 40” TV. Did I mention we are beyond excited for it to be done? Just checking!
We chose a Tommy Bahama set called Kingston.

My favorite part are the spindle bed posts! And, the canopy will be removable and the finial above the canopy will be able to attach to the posts to make a poster bed. We’re hoping that the bed will be high off the ground so for a short time, Lilly won’t be able to climb into our bed in the middle of the night or poke me until I wake up. It scare the crap out of me every night!
We’ll be able to see the furniture as it’s made during different stages, so I will try to take pictures of it. And I’ll keep y’all updated!
