Brass Bed

Sunday 29th January 2012
I'm excited! We just picked up an original Victorian double brass bed for the spare room! I found the head & ends on Gumtree, and then on our way home, bought the matching connecting rods at a junk yard. All together - the purchase was just $140. Whoopee!




Now before you all rush to book a night,
just remember we need to now make the slatted base,
and buy a mattress!!

      We found out it is dated c1880. Would retail $500+. Is a perfect size for the room, space for a small cupboard either size, and more leg room than if you had a queen.
