thanks again, ashley!

back in may... we got a king bed.  our whole marriage we'd just had this metal bed frame with boxspring and mattress and while it was great... it looked a little awkward in our big master bedroom.  i knew i wanted a hefty wooden headboard and footboard and i convinced honey that it needed to be a king bed because of the dimensions of the room.  it's a really wide room and the way the windows are placed on either side of where the bed goes... it just was kinda made for a king bed.  so after it was delivered, we got it all set up and i was THRILLED.

except that i couldn't seem to find any bedding in my price range that i liked so our bed has always looked a bit sad.

i got king sheets and pillowcases for it but finding a bedding set wasn't happening.  i bought several and tried them out on the bed but nothing looked right and they all went back to the store.  i've seen stuff i like online but haven't ordered anything because it can't be returned (dangit you potterybarn.com clearance) and i'm worried i won't like it how i haven't liked the others i've tried.  

so then yesterday morning i was thinking to myself... holy cow... it's been six months since we got this bed and we STILL don't have bedding for it.  i just need to make this happen.  i think nesting is giving me anxiety in this way... there are soooo many loose ends with our house that i just want taken care of.  we've lived here for 18 months... i just need to hang pictures on the walls already!  anyways... less than 20 mins later i'm on facebook when i see a notification pop up and BAM!

my prayers are answered.  someday i'll do a whole post about the bounteous gifts ashley has bestowed upon me.  for today though, we'll just focus on the bedding.
