Our tiny beach house is about 100 years old, with uneven floors and only two closets in the entire place if you can believe that! We have three bedrooms but they are little. The master luckily has a slanted roof alcove at one end so my dresser (Robert's is in another room entirely) tucks nicely out of the way leaving a decent amount of floor space but the bed will take up just about the whole room.
The funny thing is that the mattress and box springs were delivered separately about a month ago but because the frame was a custom order from this company in California which specializes in iron beds, the delays have been endless! So we have been sleeping with our new mattress on the floor for a while like a couple of hippies – LOL!!!
I must admit I love having a big bed. The cats rarely sleep on Robert’s side, but I am regularly pinned down by all four. I used to think king beds were gauche and for years I refused to even consider one.
Robert persisted mostly because he is tall (6’ 3”) and I think he wanted to lie diagonally without bothering me so his feet wouldn’t hang over the end. Then after we got Jimmy who is an up-close night time cuddler I finally said to Robert that yes we now had to get the king bed because I just couldn’t take the crowding anymore. I know Jim is just wee but four really made a difference!
I think the bed was well worth the wait and is absolutely gorgeous. It's large yes, but the open bars give it an airy feel and it really isn't as overpowering as I was afraid it would be.
Can you see the crystal knobs :-)
We have a king sized bed, and it is great! There is room for every kitty and two humans! Of course, we all crowd all over my human usually, especially in the morning when it is close to breakfast time.
ReplyDeleteThe bed looks awesome~!
ReplyDeleteAnd I am glad you go testing on it first!!
That is great!!
Its a beautiful bed Cat and there seems plenty of room now for everybody although I bet little Jim takes up tons of space - the smallest kittens have a way of taking up half the bed dont they . . .lol

Wow !!! Gorgeous Bed and it's KING BED !!!
ReplyDeleteMy mom get jealous right now, she always want king bed but I don't know why she end up with Queen Bed : )
xoxo
Fabulous looking bed, for the kitties, and also the humans!!!

That is a beautiful bed!!!
ReplyDeleteWe had the 'overcrowding' problem too, with four cats on my side of the bed and I'm sandwiched between them and Zip. Some nights I could hardly breathe!
I decided to go to a separate bedroom since there's no way we could get a king bed up our stairs. We now all sleep so much better!
Love your bedding! It does look nice and light and airy!!!
The mom says you made the right choice not to put a heavy, solid bed frame in a small room. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt looks great!
She and her ex used to have a king-sized bed, but she got rid of it after they split up. She has a queen-sized now, but complains we take up too much room--and there only are two of us. LOL. What will she do when she gets her desired new bed, a double? We'll take the bed then, and she can sleep elsewhere! :-P

The new bed looks great! You're right ... even though it takes up a lot of floor space, it has sort of an airy feel so the room doesn't look cramped. We've been thinking about a king-sized bed, too, seeing as how our cats play the how-much room-can-I-possibly-take-up-on-the-queen-sized-bed game. MOL
ReplyDeleteThat bed does look terrific and it fits in the room just fine. Good choice of beds. What fun for the kitties to have all that room. Hope all of you have a great week end.
ReplyDeleteMum says she hopes you get all the extra space your are so looking forward to - but so are the furry four!!
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Pellie says to tell you the bed is awesome and looks great in the room
ReplyDeleteAs for me I think it looks great too; as a trampoline and wrestling playground. It's awesome.

WOW, you weren't kidding, that is quite the snoozy spot!
ReplyDeleteThe bed is beautiful! We all crowd into a queen size bed...lucky for us woofie Grete doesn't like to sleep on the bed!
ReplyDeleteOh what a great BED! I have only had the pleasure of being on one like that once! I thought I was in another Country all by myself. MOL>
ReplyDeleteHello friends I have been inviting them to go to my blog to enter the contest that I'm promoting

ReplyDeleteWow! Cool Bed! We's only has a Queen but a King would never fit in the bedroom! Me likes the crystal knobs! Me bets they throws rainbows all over the room!

We have a king size bed at our house - our house is pretty small too, but not quite as small as yours. Even with that, I still could use one that is a bit bigger, because with as many cats as we have they take a lot of room!
ReplyDeleteIt is great that you have a bit more room now - and yet you will still be able to have them on the bed to snuggle with you!!
Your new bed is wonderful! Tell your Dad that our Daddy likes to sleep diagonally, too...
ReplyDeleteWOW what a gorgeous bed and well worth the wait.
ReplyDeleteI know the kitties appreicate that you bought it just for them. LOL What is it that makes a 10 pound sleeping cat feel like 100 pounds of lead...and why does she have to sleep right in between my legs?
I hope all 6 of you seelp well.
Madi and Mom
Looks great! Good digs for people + 4 cats.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful bed! We have a metal framed bed too...but it needs to be bigger to accomodate all of us! Hopefully we will have some new deliveries in the near future too :)
ReplyDeleteSleep tight tonight kitties!
the critters in The Cottage
It's quite spectacular!
ReplyDeleteFinally room for every person and every cat!?
Lizzie & 3 kitties
About a month ago we purchased a temperpedic ergonomic kingsize bed. The cats get all freaked out when it moves up and down. :-)
ReplyDeleteYour bed is absolutely beautiful.

ReplyDeleteDaniela,

What a beautiful bed. Love the crystal knobs. It is great that little Jimmy will have more space now! Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat is a such a pretty bed frame! It does look a lot less substantial than a lot of king beds.
ReplyDeleteMum and dad bought a king bed for me a few years ago. It gives me lots of room to stretch out at night.
ReplyDeleteYour new bed is gorgeous!! Yes I can see the crystal knobs! They are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI can tell your kitties are more excited with boxes rather than bed :-) I often have hard time throwing away empty boxes because my kids want to play with them.
Have a great weekend and good night sleep!
There's room for humans and cats alike, so it's all good...
ReplyDeleteLook at those huge boxes!!
ReplyDeleteOur mom says that your new bed is gorgeous and she LOVES old houses!!
Thanks for sharing your new bed with us. It looks like the kitties like it too.
ReplyDeleteHi Ben!! I just love your new bed? Do you think there is room for me, too? I found a new Hidey Place!! Do you want to come over and hide with me??
ReplyDeleteHugs & Purrrs,
