"What are they going to do with a 57" width bed?"

Post title comes from the movie Pleasntville when a full sized bed causes quite a stir in this pleasant little town.

 If you remember dear readers, I set out to make 2 twin beds with no foot boards with two $4 cabinet doors I found at Habitat for Humanity and was going to hunt for the bed frames to hold the beds up...

 Well that was 7 months ago... and the box springs and mattresses are STILL resting on the floor. My good friend Mrs. Tate (who owns the antique store) put up for sale a pair of  twin beds with matching head boards and no foot board, (that date 1966) about the same time I nailed the cabinet drawers into the wall  to make matching head boards.  I would have jumped all over them BUT she was asking $175 and I just couldn't do that. They were exactly what I was looking for, they even have a latch on the back of the head boards where you can keep them as two twin beds, or push them together to make a king sized bed!

Well this last weekend  I plopped down onto the bed and the cabinet drawer turned headboard came out of the wall and I COULDN'T GET IT TO STAY SCREWED IN THE WALL. So I call up Mrs. Tate and ask if she still has the beds, she does, I ask how much she is asking and then she informs me of a 75% off everything sale (because shes going out of business) and that the new retail price with tax is around... oh....

$40.00

Sold!  I picked them up Thursday and took them to the lake Friday night. Patricia and I went to Wal-mart and picked out some bed sets that match the rug I purchased earlier this year, so now we have GOOD beds, and sheets.... next weeks pay check? Pillows and SILVERWARE haha, I think the beds fit right fit right in! I also realized now with the purchase of these bed the Casablanca now has all real furniture in every room!!!

Hehehe who knows maybe someday when a "Mrs Jordan" comes along, we can push our twin beds together...like Ricky and Lucy.
