wow

A week ago we received the first half of our bedroom furniture purchase. This included the armoire, chest of drawers and both nightstands. Now we are only waiting on the headboard, footboard, rails and dresser with mirror.

We are realizing how lucky we are that our bedroom is very large. The furniture is much bigger in our room than it appeared when we were in the store! If our room was any smaller, it would seem a bit crowded with everything we bought, but I think that when it all arrives it will fit perfectly and make the room seem cozy - before it seemed sparse.

And we had forgotten how nice it looks in person. The picture on the store's website makes it look like a medium color brown, but in actuality it is much darker. Funny, because Justin and I had both commented (before it arrived, but after we bought it) that we were surprised how much we liked it when we looked at it online because we usually prefer our wood furniture to be much darker than the way it appeared online. We will post a picture of how it looks in our room, but not until we have all the other pieces. Hopefully we will get a call in another week or so saying that it has arrived!
