My Amerisleep AS3 Unboxing Video (Surprise, my voice is ridiculous!) If I can (just barely) do it, you can totally tackle a bed-in-a-box by yourself. Updated 10/15/22 Amerisleep's AS5 was recently featured as the 'Best Soft Mattress in a Box' by Good Housekeeping , with the panel of reviewers noting: Pressure relief for side sleepers Taller than other boxed mattresses Good customer service Amerisleep Mattress Reviews We've been happy Amerisleep customers since purchasing our first AS3 mattress more than 9 years ago. Now we also have an AS2 and an AS4 (the AS3 is still our favorite). Born with chronic insomnia (even as a baby - my family insists I was a nightmare), the struggle to improve my sleep is my life. My husband, the overly-analytical mechanical engineer, was initially skeptical of a mail-order mattress, but he was quickly won over. 2012: Wine glass test, sans wine. I was fairly confident our brand-new mattress would pass with f
You know our powder room in the hallway? It has turned out perfectly, with glossy TileBar tile and the alligator juniper vanity Sexy Nerd built himself. Little by little, accessories are added and edited out. Currently, the bathroom has a cheerful, springtime vibe.
Still, something is missing.
Since moving in, I've taped at least 30 wallpaper samples on the wall behind the mirror. It's such a tough decision! What looks perfect in November (so warm and cozy) is all wrong in February (so heavy and dark).
If I ever win the lottery, I'm going to pay someone to redo my wallpapers with the seasons. Also, for this to happen, I'll probably need to start playing the lottery.

Our decorating style is rustic...farmhouse...glam...? Eclectic!

Each of these wallpaper options has been considered. I always change my mind before placing an order though. All except the Topiary have metallic accents.
This is my current bathroom wallpaper obsession. It coordinates with the blue of the vessel sink. It's called Pamir Garden and my wallpaper-hating husband actually likes it. The pattern is whimsical yet sophisticated.
What do you think, my bloggy friends? Can you picture Pamir Garden on this wall? (And when you picture it, does it make you smile or cringe?)
My dalmation art was a yard sale score and the hand towel with oranges (actually a kitchen towel) is from Cost Plus World Market.
My little stone bunny with faux succulents was a bargain from Cost Plus World Market and the soap dish is not a soap dish at all. Surprise! It's a garlic grater from Uncommon Goods.
We went "high/low" with our shower - Lancaster Celery Tile from TileBar used as an accent with inexpensive travertine subway tiles from Lowes. Honestly, it's the most beautiful shower I've ever seen.
I suppose we could always just leave this powder room as-is. It's nice even without wallpaper...but where's the fun in that?
