Delivery Day

Last Thursday I took the morning off from work to be home for a few furniture deliveries. My new couch from Macy's was coming, as well as a guy I found through a Craigslist ad to build me a custom king size bed frame.

The Macy's truck came first, right at 10am which was the start of the delivery window they had given me. They were really quick, and had that thing up the stairs and set up in no time. As soon as they left, I tested it out, and absolutely love it. It fits so well in my living room, and I now have a place to sit and watch tv!

A short while later, Luke from Evergreen Custom Beds showed up with the materials to build my new bed frame. I had been searching Craigslist for a simple wood bed frame to attach my headboard to, and that's when I came across his ad. The ad took me to his website where he has priced out different frame styles (and headboards) and has pictures of all of them as well. He runs the business himself, and has been doing this for about 5 years now. For only $200, he delivered and set up the frame right in my room. He even offered to attach my headboard for me, and when he didn't have long enough screws, he made a run to Home Depot! The frame is unfinished wood, so I have now painted it to match my headboard. It turned out great, and was happy to support a local small business. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for something similar.

The coffee table I purchased from West Elm also arrived, however that is a long and boring story. Right now I am waiting for them to resend me the hardware to assemble the thing. Hopefully that will come soon and my living room will really start to come together. New furniture is fun!
