Garage sale treasure

We managed to get the bed inside Turkey's van.  A quick call to her hubby and we were off to get manpower to haul said bed up to my second floor apartment.

Mr. A carried up the mattress and box springs.  He, ever so kindly, put all the pieces together.  What a blessing he was.

And now I get to be creative...  My first priority is to find some twin-sized bedding.  Second - purchase coordinating spray paint to transform the metal headboard.  I have been perusing Pinterest and pondering the final look of my guest / craft room.
