Shopping around online for Freya’s future twin bed, I stumbled upon a website selling “Pacific Rim” wood furniture. And this is one of their beds.
That will look familiar to anyone who has been in my bedroom, heheh. Yeah, it’s the bed in our guest room, which I bought in 1999 in San Francisco and knew really nothing about except that I liked the headboard and I could afford it because it was the floor model in the store. So now I know my bed is solid maple, eco-friendly, and was made in Oregon. And it now retails for over $600, so that will help in setting the price on Craigslist later this year.
It gets odder (to me). Because I kept scrolling and saw that indeed, this is also the company that made Freya’s crib. Which I bought when I was pregnant, thinking for some reason that she would actually sleep in it (ha). It’s a gorgeous piece of furniture. Thankfully, it converts into a bench, where I’m guessing she will store her dolls 🙂
So why not complete the circle and have a bed to match the bench. I am thinking this one would be great.
I know it’s a quality product and will last her until she’s 18, so it’s worth it to me to spend money on it. And I’m actually making some money of my own (!) lately, selling some handbags and jewelry online.
I want her furniture to be solid wood whenever possible. Pressboard/particleboard actually off-gasses formaldehyde fumes over time. Can’t have that.
