A Dream Was Coming True Today
As she looked at all the sleigh beds, she just knew she’d find one today. It was her most anticipated piece of furniture since, well since forever. She didn’t want just any one of them. She wanted one in cherry wood with fancy carvings and massive size. Although her other bedroom furniture was dark oak, she knew the wood finishes would complement each other. Only her bed and corner desk would be cherry wood. It was a nice mix she thought.
The first group was all the inexpensive twin size. They were white, with a French provincial flair, or ultra modern with pink headboards and green foot boards. Attractive maybe, but not her choice. Those would be fine for a child. Maybe someday they’d be shopping for one for a child not yet born.
Then she looked at the full-size and queen-size and another twin-sized one. She talked to the salesman about how much bigger the queen was than the full. He told her and said some sheet sets would fit either. But the full-size beds were on special order since they had faded in popularity. After she picked out a bed, they could check to see how soon it would be available.
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.
She saw it, in the center of the display. There it was, gigantic, fancy, perfectly finished in cherry and embellished with outstanding carvings. It was the bed of her dreams. She already knew it would look great in her bedroom. She started picking out sheets and quilts in her mind.
She could already visualize it sitting in her bedroom. She and her husband could stretch out and be really comfortable. They could watch TV, use their laptops or read together. She told the salesman she wanted this one. He wrote up the order and she could barely wait for the deliver date to arrive. She had, after much searching, found the sleigh bed of her dreams.
