Honestly, at this point, once you've found iron bed frames that are the right size and in your price range? Just order them. They'll last you for years and years and years, and you can think of them as "antiques in the making." If you keep them long enough, they might even actually be antiques by the time you're an old lady!

Crowded with books is the best kind of crowded.

I'm thinking you might need a "get-out-of-the-house-if-only-for-a-cup-of-tea" break early next week . . .
