King or Queen? HELP!

Queen...? King...? Queen. We have a pretty good sized master bedroom. Since we've moved in, we've made a few small changes, but it's just not quite there. We've been mulling over ideas on things we can change, but we can't seem to make a decision. Around and around, we go. Feel free to weigh in because we've googled it and looked on pinterest, at tons of photos - but we're having trouble deciding what size bed is best for our room.

 

Last year for Christmas I got a new dresser and mirror from my family. A perfect upgrade which helped the room look more like a master, and not a kids room ;) Along with that, we have a hand-me-down armoire that Brian uses for his clothes, and two tables that we use for nightstands that were accent tables in our old house. So, there are a lot of mixed wood pieces, and it just irks me. Funny that the rest of the house can be a mess, with dust balls and dirty dishes but the mismatched wood in our bedroom is what really irks me ;) A friend recently explained it well though - housework is like a drug. I can totally relate. One project is done, and I can't wait to update the next thing. So, now, I'm fixated on our room. 

The catalyst for all of this, is that we are desperate for a new mattress. Ours is only about 6 years old but it's terrible. At the time, we did a little research and were on a tight budget, so the result was a cheap mattress that's too plush and bad for our backs. We both have back trouble as it is, and I swear our bed makes it worse. So, if we're doing it, do we go big - and get a king? Everything is that much more expensive for a king... and is it really necessary?! Will it make our room look bigger? smaller?

Then, like everything, one thing leads to a next, and then I start thinking... lets get a real frame/head and footboard. Lets get real nightstands. We're still on a budget, but I'd really like our space to finally look like the real thing - a space for adults. For some silly reason, a full frame with headboard and foot board is the real deal, and I daydream about it. j/k... sort of. I'm afraid of too much wood, so recently I've been looking at metal frames. But, I feel like you never see metal frames in master bedrooms... at least not on pinterest :) So, I'm hung up on that too! What do you think? 

I'm most excited that once we decide and make these changes, I'm going to hang prints over our bed. I already have the prints in mind, and I can't wait to be surrounded by pictures of our family in our little nook. I've been dreaming about those accents since we moved in, but could never make up my mind for design based on these little hangups. So, we're two years into this house, and we're getting there. Slooooowly but surely! We better not decide to move anytime soon ;) 

Happy Thursday! XO
