iron bed one surprising fact03/01/2006 One of the benefits of buying an older home is the possibility of the previous owners leaving treasures behind. Forgotten items are often left tucked away in the corner of the attic or in the basement. Most of the objects are probably worthless; then again, sometimes they are very valuable. My husband and I were pleasantly surprised to find a black wrought iron bed in the attic of our new home. Thanks for visiting and finding my article. What follows is information that I have pulled together from many different sources. I hope you find it both interesting and helpful. The iron bed is in perfect condition and it is absolutely beautiful. It looks very old and I do think that it is an antique. The value of it is not so important because I have no plans for selling it. The headboard and footboard look as if they were handcrafted by a very talented craftsman. The iron bed is detailed with brass details that reflect light beautifully when all is said and done. The find came about when my husband was trying to install a ceiling fan in our bedroom. The iron bed was shoved in a corner of the attic. Our attic is quite small and my husband can’t even stand up in the space without hunching over to avoid hitting his head. He didn’t like the idea of working in the small space so he procrastinated for months for the time being. There are no lights up there either and this added to his aversion to the attic space. He was working with a portable work light that just happened to catch a glimmer of the brass detailing out of the corner of his eye. After crawling into the corner of the little attic he called down to me that he found a wrought iron bed frame insert. This was especially welcomed news to me because we didn’t have a headboard for our bed. I also love antiques so the iron bed seemed to be the perfect addition to my décor. Once the entire frame was cleaned and assembled, I fell in love with the old piece of furniture. Needless to say I was extremely disappointed to discover that we couldn’t use it granted that. We have a king sized mattress and frame that my husband is very attached to and so am I. We couldn’t imagine sleeping in a smaller bed. My precious wrought iron bed is queen-sized and this may seem acceptable but we are just too accustomed to the larger bed the following example. At first, I thought it was the perfect size, but I was wrong. It was quite a disappointment. I still have no plans to sell the old wrought iron bed. If my husband and I can’t use it, maybe our daughter can. She could be the only toddler on the block who has a queen-sized bed. I guess that I’m desperate to keep the antique in the same way. I hope you have gotten some good ideas from this article and that you are able to use them. |
