The trundle is finally gone. We've had a hard time getting rid of anything Mike's dad gave us to get started, but slowly it is happening. It's a sign of success to move past the hodgepodge of hand-me-downs and thrift store purchases to a more consciously chosen grouping. The living room was first and looks great. Now I am working on Lawrence's room.
Mike built Lawrence this amazing loft bed back when we first moved to Albany. We actually set the whole trundle, wheels and all, on top. It worked okay but put him really close to the ceiling. Two weeks ago I put the trundle frame and mattress on freecycle and away it went. Then Lawrence had a slat frame with no mattress, and nowhere to sleep (awesome planning, I know).
So this past weekend Mike cut a plywood board (sanded edging and everything) and I built a mattress. That's right, I bought a zippable mattress cover and filled it full of all the extra blankets and comforters around the house that we just can't bear to part with. Voila! Organization and, according to Lawrence, the softest bed EVER.
I am lucky to have Mike to help with all my crazy DIY projects. Plus, he sets and clears the mousetrap (ick) since little mickey and his pals moved in after the hoarder next door was forced to clean her garage out. He is a wicked trapper and all warmed up for hunting season after 7 kills....
