We bought a bed on Saturday

I'm blogging about this because Karen mentioned it.

I had us heading down Parramatta Road to the big Home something or other centre at Auburn or wherever it is. We’d been down at the RTA so Ian could renew his drivers licence which we’d realised only the night before had expired over a fortnight ago.

Taking a wrong turn, or rather, finding we couldn't turn the way we wanted to get to the M4, we ended up on the Great Western Highway and Ian thought we were heading for Homebase at Blacktown where Ikea USED to be and where the marshalling point was for the cleanup after the storms last December. I’d forgotten about it being there but said I was happy to give it a try.

We’d been trawling around for a bed in Penrith a few weeks ago and couldn’t find anything we liked. They were either cheap nasty or the solid ones were like Tudor Great Beds. Lo and behold, thinking we were on Mission Impossible, at the second shop at Blacktown we came across a nice sleigh bed in Sleep City. It’s made of recycled timber and is as solid as you’d wish.

Here it is:

The King size was only $569!!!!! Any of the Queen beds we'd been looking at thus far were over $1000 - on Sale. So we bought it and a bow-fronted tall boy (just out of picture) to match, plus a new mattress.

We are well pleased with our purchase.
