In 2009 - two single beds. They went against the wall, with a pair of matching cabinets between.
Later, we moved them to the opposite side of the room so we could accommodate a wardrobe. Only room for one cupboard - the other came into our bedroom. In 2023 we pushed them together as a double, and I made a 'filler strip' to go down the middle where there was a gap between the mattresses. Really wide, room for two parents and a grandchild. Or two grandchildren and Gran.
The single quilts which I made in 2009 are really large- so one placed sideways is adequate. As I took the photo I realised our picture [Holkham Beach] needs moving. I think it needs to be central over the bed!
If you need b&b in central Norfolk anytime, let me know!
It looks great! I had a IKEA single bed that had great height for storage. Was great!
ReplyDeleteJulian has a high one , with the proper IKEA drawers underneath. They may come later...
DeleteI just stored my plastic boxes under mine
DeleteLooking great and the quilt is beautiful? What will happen to the other quilt? And yes, the picture needs to be centred. Happy weekend. Catriona
ReplyDeleteCurrently folded on the rocking chair. Bob says we should hold off on moving picture in case we re-arrange the cupboards. He's probably right
DeleteI think you would provide a lovely B/B!
ReplyDeleteYou would always be welcome! If only Norfolk and Cornwall were not so far apart...
DeleteI love a high bed, so useful to store stuff underneath. Blue is so calming in a bedroom isn't it, looks lovely.

I agree about the calm atmosphere of a blue 💙 bedroom
DeleteIt looks lovely. I do like to see how things change up slightly over the years to fit the roles they need to fill.
ReplyDeleteIt is good to repurpose and reuse
DeleteThat bedroom looks so welcoming.
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteHow clever of you to have made the single quilts so wide in the first instance! It all worked out so well. JanF
ReplyDeleteI am not sure why I made them so big, but I am glad I did
DeleteStorage under the bed and hidden from view is always good and I agree with you that the picture needs to be more centred. Is your car big enough to get the mattresses to Manchester or will they have to be tied onto the roof! Xx
ReplyDeleteWe will collapse the seats on the passenger side, and stack them - and one of us will sit "in tandem" behind the other in the driver's seat!
DeleteYou could call your post, "beds unlimited"! The quilts are beautiful, by the way.
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteLovely to see your quilts and the transformation of the bedroom. If you centre the picture will it cover the old hole?
ReplyDeleteI think so...
