New Master: Moving in

Dropping in for a quickie Friday post!<br /><br />Literally within an hour of hitting publish on my last post, Brad decided it was time to move the furniture back in. And so we did.<br /><br />We have a king sized bed, which takes up almost the whole room, so there were not a lot of layout options. Luckily, there was just enough space to include our nightstands and dresser.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhraDLE-1hiM1kfxZYzSrixjjVhki77YMCQwthoqKOe-QmVTP-MhMRemSNaI0SJXO9W4zBw2tU5BUqQSpPJSxYeuUcMal0ppOsA9w7Zin_yfgHknqcdTpfrqyIhQ3JOxXNOzjGy_0uIjX0-/s1600/BEDROOM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhraDLE-1hiM1kfxZYzSrixjjVhki77YMCQwthoqKOe-QmVTP-MhMRemSNaI0SJXO9W4zBw2tU5BUqQSpPJSxYeuUcMal0ppOsA9w7Zin_yfgHknqcdTpfrqyIhQ3JOxXNOzjGy_0uIjX0-/s1600/BEDROOM.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br />First we had to center the rug and reassemble the bed frame:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifZdrFTWpafMWJatviAdM1sDaF_tKag-RIHTYaxsqsdo5hbUjqBX1vv_8PF_x11dplqoFRG2nH5FWoBzipHon_MAPjWzkJAiVafaDAFDgFlR2X23ArtV_bGG68PHQQetO6o_kagSezJKpC/s1600/IMG_9987.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifZdrFTWpafMWJatviAdM1sDaF_tKag-RIHTYaxsqsdo5hbUjqBX1vv_8PF_x11dplqoFRG2nH5FWoBzipHon_MAPjWzkJAiVafaDAFDgFlR2X23ArtV_bGG68PHQQetO6o_kagSezJKpC/s1600/IMG_9987.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br />Once that was ready, we put down the box spring, bed skirt and mattress:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXgjXfa-xhSa9oRDVbMJ2cbuJiBgXs8GzKgvf8eLK_msu0Z_cD_dbP4YaqUvmAJHpxxMzGzbOarZxjxp1Egr0pZnvMiQulQkQY3ieCdvK4CkNMqlU2_OzaBSJ339ye6ygzdvJTl4TnKgj2/s1600/IMG_9990.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXgjXfa-xhSa9oRDVbMJ2cbuJiBgXs8GzKgvf8eLK_msu0Z_cD_dbP4YaqUvmAJHpxxMzGzbOarZxjxp1Egr0pZnvMiQulQkQY3ieCdvK4CkNMqlU2_OzaBSJ339ye6ygzdvJTl4TnKgj2/s1600/IMG_9990.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And finally, we reattached the headboard using the same french cleat (see how we did it the first time  <a href="http://jennasuedesign.blogspot.com/2012/03/diy-upholstered-tufted-headboard.html" target="_blank">here</a>)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMpXrDJqPsAtUy5plLmWfEp1MNcsE79HDRfN6cY0oNodSYuRSfQpM_M64tLLlPgoHHlEBL2MdJr93BGl4exPYXBQuSp7TKHA1jmR7UbInPB5JWU5_vknr9HB_1xZpnv24fANmJn94tanOm/s1600/IMG_9991.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMpXrDJqPsAtUy5plLmWfEp1MNcsE79HDRfN6cY0oNodSYuRSfQpM_M64tLLlPgoHHlEBL2MdJr93BGl4exPYXBQuSp7TKHA1jmR7UbInPB5JWU5_vknr9HB_1xZpnv24fANmJn94tanOm/s1600/IMG_9991.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Beauty-full.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I also picked up some fresh new linens from Target's Threshold line:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeDTIHPjBXngKT8rn8FyAd6JgL4bZTg5I3J09SAj6plBhQxXja6ncSEOfOQgXxf4Zl5IzHuBqCAZ647kkw1gnluWhKMyiBPTLiIYVh5Z9jvJu7-krv8g2bK3jRHfpFUfPuRStLP0vUabJf/s1600/IMG_0025.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeDTIHPjBXngKT8rn8FyAd6JgL4bZTg5I3J09SAj6plBhQxXja6ncSEOfOQgXxf4Zl5IzHuBqCAZ647kkw1gnluWhKMyiBPTLiIYVh5Z9jvJu7-krv8g2bK3jRHfpFUfPuRStLP0vUabJf/s1600/IMG_0025.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">They are so soft and striped and yummy.

What's next...

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Well hello there.</div><br />After a nearly month long hiatus (where has the time gone?!) I'm stopping in for an update.<br /><br />Brad and I have been doing a lot of thinking lately—discussing some important issues, making big decisions. One of these decisions is our housing situation.<br /><br />We've been considering moving back to California to be closer to my family for quite some time. Visiting them once or twice a year really isn't enough... it's difficult. Very tough on my parents. But we love Florida... we love our friends, our home, the weather, places to go, cost of living... everything. We are happy here.<br /><br />In the end, we decided to stay here for now.<br /><br />With that decision comes sacrifice, however. My business is expanding, and our house isn't. We need more space.<br /><br />As much as I'd love to start house hunting for the perfect new home with everything we need, it just wouldn't make sense for us to buy another house with our future living situation up in the air.<br /><br />So we're working with what we've got—time to get creative. Here's the problem: I need a new printer. Not just a printer... but a <i>printer</i>:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.inktechnologies.com/Content/ProductImages/Images/CategoryImages/Epson/Epson-Stylus-Pro-9890.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.inktechnologies.com/Content/ProductImages/Images/CategoryImages/Epson/Epson-Stylus-Pro-9890.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><br />My tiny office is already bursting at the seams, so there's absolutely no room for this 74" wide beast of a machine.<br /><br />I suppose I could pay $700 a month and rent a studio somewhere for my office space, but that arrangement just isn't for me. There are times when things come up at night and I need to be at my printer to take care of rush orders, for example. I need to be able to easily access my equipment for my own sanity.

And on that note... I'd like to try an alternative crown molding technique that doesn't require any sort of crazy cuts.
