Fancy Furniture Is A Beautiful Thing
She strolled through the largest furniture store in town. She felt as if she’d find what she wanted today. This was a long-time dream of hers, to drift off to sleep each night in one of the fanciest, most elaborately carved sleigh beds in existence. Oh she knew she was a little fixated and didn’t mind admitting it. She specifically wanted cherry wood even though her other bedroom furniture was oak. It would complement the oak wood she thought.
She came upon a grouping of twin beds. There was modern, French provincial and contemporary. Possibly suitable for a child’s bedroom. One had a pink headboard and a pale neon green foot board. It did catch the eye but she wouldn’t want such a gaudy bed in her home.
The second group looked like either full-size or twin. She asked the sales person and she said the queen-sized ones were readily available as were the king-size beds. The full-size beds were not readily available in every bed on display. It depended on the style she chose. She continued to browse.
She remembered the movie that caused her to want a special, giant of a bed with elaborate carvings and a shiny finish. A couple had one that was beautiful. They placed it in the center of their room. Each morning the wife, who was a ballet dancer, would dance around it twice. She’d repeat the dance each night before going to bed. She recalled that it was completely finished on the back of the headboard.
Now they moved on to the king-sized beds. The saleslady talked about how gorgeous sheets were available in king-sizes. She pointed out all the advantages. No need, the customer was already sold on that size. She hadn’t been interested in a twin sleigh bed and she passed up the full and queen-sized ones, she wanted one of these overly large ones.
Then she spotted it. It was a magnificent, huge, elaborately carved and perfectly finished king-size bed. She stopped in her tracks and told the saleslady that this was the one. She could see it now, in her bedroom at home. She could visualize it with a lovely quilt and pillow shams on it.
She could picture she and her husband, lying in it and reading the Sunday morning news on their laptop computer screens. She smiled broadly as the saleslady wrote up the order. She couldn’t wait for the delivery day, which was set up for next Thursday. She had found the sleigh bed of her dreams.
