I want to buy a new bed. King sized (not that California King bullshit).

Anyone have any favorite furniture shopping websites?

Duxiana?

Why not a Cal-king? I have come to find king's unnecessarily limiting. npi.

High or low? Four poster or just a headboard? Looking to match other furniture or are you redoing the whole bedroom?

Footboard and headboard. Not necessarily a four-poster but not so much a sleigh bed. I don't want a platform-y, on the floor low bed, but it doesn't need to require steps to get into.

Everything else in the bedroom is an acquired antique. The new bed has to match in spirit, but I do not expect it to be matchy-matchy, since nothing else in my house is.

No, sadly.

Very nice guy. Very handsome.

Thank you, but not cool. This is almost making me feel pressured to be nicer than I usually am. And I will not feel bad if you come back with another post about my flaws. Unfortunately, I promised to be honest.

1. Let's start with the good. Personality:

Patentpara speaks in full sentences that are easy to understand in person. I think she thinks she posts like she talks, even though she doesn't. She seems smart, happy with her job, husband, clothes, friends and life in general. She is not unpleasant to be around, although she's a little too perky for my tastes. Unlike on the board, she is not confrontational in the least and I think she would have zero problems irl with any of the female posters who she's had problems with on the board.

2. Face:

Patentpara is not ugly. That said, she cannot be described as pretty or cute. Mind you, these are my opinions so they are necessarily subjective.

3. Body:

Patenpara is overweight. She described herself to me as having a "medium frame." I would describe her as being chubby.

Her tits are not 38Es. No way, no how. They are Cs and I didn't want to see them unclothed.

Bottom line? When she is standing in line at Sbux and an investment banker offers her a straw, he is simply offering her a straw.

I have an actual antique bed (although it is a queen -- you might have a harder time finding a king antique). Mine is an Indian 4 poster platform, high off the floor but not so high that I need steps and my munchkin can jump onto it (unfortunately) -- about 100 years old and in fantastic shape. So I would plug actual antiques. The dealer who sold mine to me said that you can find larger (king) antiques, because the rich people did have big beds back then.

Nothing in my house is matchy-mathcy either. I quite love it that way.

Is something like this too modern? http://www.dune-ny.com/site2001/tear.../beds_skin.pdf

(I tend to throw modern stuff next to distressed mexican stuff next to refinished 1950s metal stuff next to mission era stuff, so there's really no such thing as "not going together" for me, unless, well, it just doesn't go together.)

That is in fact waaaay too modern. I look at that and think it looks like something from the Jetsons. Or a 1950's Doris Day movie that featured a bachelor pad.

I didn't say my post to coerce you into going easy on me.

That being said I think you were a little harsh.

2. I object to. I've never been told *ever* I wasn't at least min. pretty or cute. I appreciate you saying I'm not ugly but that was harsh.

3. I concede I'm so not a 2. However, I do point out that I run almost every day and am working on becoming less uh, chubby? as you put it. You make me sound like a whale, and I'm not.

and addendum, *3a* the 38 E is what the lady at Bergdorf measured me as and the bra I bought. Whether you wanted to see them naked really wasn't the issue at hand.

I thought you weren't allowed to take photos at SunnyBunny's house.

Given what you have posted about your BF I am assuming this nickname is deliberately ironic. Or are his other two legs really short?

You know, I have been shopping for bedroom furniture for years, unable to find anything I like, but I think you have finally solved it for me!
