We need to buy a bed. I think we're going to buy something nice (i.e. a step up from Ikea, which has nothing I like) but not as nice as I'd really wanted (when I was 13, my mother gave me a set of post-it notes that read, "I have the simplest of tastes. I only want the best." What I really want is hand-made, cherry, and $3500.) I'm feeling like it's important, symbolically, to get a nice bed, for my marriage. Like we need a shared statement that's about us, not about the kids, because they are hogging up so much energy in our lives.

We're thinking of Sherwood in cherry. We both like the style of Calvin better, as well as the fact that it's solid wood, not solid wood and veneers, but we both prefer cherry to maple. Thoughts?

I can't tell if I prefer the Sherwood because I generally prefer light woods or because I actually like the style better, but it gets my vote.

I like the idea behind y'all getting a nice marriage bed to remind you you aren't just parents. It's both new-agey self-help relationship approved (or sounds like it oughta be) and niftily traditional.
