Contemporary as a daisy! Are you able to even deal with how lovely these daisy sheets are? So pleasant for spring —and a match made in heaven on my new-to-me mattress!
After 4 weeks leaning towards our hearth in the lounge, the Ethan Allen Quincy mattress we discovered on Fb Market lastly made it up the staircase to our room this weekend (because of some helpers we employed to carry it up for us).
I couldn’t adore it extra! Once I would get cute new sneakers as a child I might preserve them by my mattress so I might see them as I drifted off to sleep. Did you try this, too? Now I get drift off to sleep in a cute new mattress and curled up in my daisy sheets!
Although we now should make just a few sudden updates like new bedside tables and lamps, repainting partitions and doubtless another refreshes to make this all work, you’ll be able to think about how joyful this complete flip of occasions makes me :).
Some folks seek for months or years for particular items they need, however I discovered my dream mattress instantly on my first seek for it. I wasn’t even planning to purchase a mattress proper now, nevertheless it was meant to be. Serendipity. I would like to start out looking out extra usually!
You’ll be able to learn my first put up about discovering the mattress right here.
Minutes earlier than I believed to search for the mattress on FBMP, I used to be exhibiting my husband this actual mattress on Ethan Allen. Loopy, sure? I used to be making a dream temper board for our house and wished to incorporate this mattress as part of my total type “imaginative and prescient.” So I had solely proven it to him to ask if he appreciated it (he did) and which colour he thought I ought to select (we each agreed the robin’s egg blue felt proper).
All of the sudden at that very second I believed to myself, you must seek for it on FBMP. I knew it was an extended shot, however WHAT IF? Dream massive! So I typed in Quincy Mattress Ethan Allen and BAM! there it was! My robin’s egg blue Quincy mattress. I had wished this mattress for years, so I might hardly imagine my eyes!
Nevertheless, despite the fact that we received the message again that we might come get it, I knew it wasn’t going to be simple. This mattress was in Canada (we’re on the opposite facet of the border within the US) and we don’t personal a truck.
And that was solely the start of the challenges!
Lots of you requested to learn the remainder of the story and the mishaps we confronted, so I’ll share extra that I didn’t share within the unique put up.
So right here is the remainder of the story — for you, my curious pals. 🙂
For some purpose we all the time neglect to activate the “roaming” characteristic on our cellphone after we go to Canada.
So I’ll say that our first problem would’ve been prevented had we merely remembered to do this :).
Our automotive is sufficiently old to not have any inbuilt navigation options, however we have been in a rented Uhaul that didn’t have one both.
As quickly as we crossed into Canada, the map characteristic on our cellphone stopped working so we have been immediately …. misplaced. By some means after working round an out of doors shopping center we managed to discover a financial institution machine that was alleged to be open for twenty-four hours — nevertheless it was closed.
That meant we couldn’t get the Canadian money we would want to purchase the mattress.
To not be discouraged, we headed towards the the vendor’s house (fortuitously I had saved step-by-step instructions so it was nearly just like the outdated days with no cellphone or computerized navigation hahah), however we needed to go with out the money to purchase the mattress.
The vendor didn’t converse a lot English so we have been speaking together with her grown daughter over the cellphone. I had defined on our technique to their house that the financial institution machines have been closed. We started looking for a special technique to get her the cash, which ended up being tougher than we anticipated.
She initially mentioned she didn’t wish to use PayPal which might’ve been the only means to do that from the start, however ultimately she agreed to arrange her account so we might pay for it that means.
However after trying on the mattress, we found a brand new downside. We couldn’t get the mattress aside with the instruments we introduced! I used to be actually beginning to fear that we’d should go house with out it. My husband mentioned not less than I hadn’t paid for it but, however I didn’t wish to come thus far solely to go house with out it!
So then we needed to go away the mattress and their house to go to House Depot to search out the appropriate new instruments. I’m stunned she trusted us to return. Fortunately she didn’t simply promote it to another person whereas we have been gone!
We discovered the appropriate instruments and at last received the mattress aside. Now it was time to get the mattress downstairs. The headboard was so heavy that the proprietor kindly supplied to assist us. She was in all probability frightened we’d drop it down her staircase or crash right into a wall, which truthfully frightened us slightly, too ha.
She was a small girl however she stood on one facet and I used to be on the opposite and my husband on the far finish! We’re clearly not as younger or buff as we was, however we someway managed to get it down the staircase and into the rented truck.
Lastly the daughter’s PayPal account was accessible so I might switch the cash and we might go house with the mattress within the truck. PHEW! Perseverance.
By this level we had been in Canada for about 4 hours longer than we had deliberate. After a fast cease at Chipotle we made our technique to the border and reward be, crossed over with out incident. They did ask why we have been within the nation, what we purchased and why, and so they seemed behind the truck to make sure we weren’t smuggling something unlawful in.
I can’t think about I might ever once more go to this a lot effort for a Fb Market discover, however all in all, our Quincy mattress was value it. After all, if I discovered one other nice deal on one thing I liked this a lot you recognize I might do all of it once more! However the true query is, after studying this story, would anybody in Canada ever promote to me once more? Who is aware of.
My Quincy mattress is such a charmer, I’m so excited to have a bit I really like a lot!
