Two Twin Beds

As I wrote the title to this blog entry I couldn't help but hum, "this old man, he played two, he played knick-knack on my shoe, with a knick-knack, paddy whack, give a dog a bone, this old man rolling home."  I'm not quite sure why but it was amusing and I thought I'd add the lyrics for some comic relief.  Lately we've been on the hunt for some cheap yet sturdy twin style beds.  Guest bedroom numero dos is completely empty.  Since it's an empty nest here at the cottage, besides Rob and I, we have some rooms to spare.  We've tossed around some ideas for the room that would be both beneficial for now and later (don't get any ideas Mom and Susan).  That will happen when it's meant to happen!  For now, we'd love to have a space to share with some of the youngsters in our lives.  My sister has identical twin girls and Rob's sisters have kiddos too!  Two twin beds for these twinnies makes my heart skip a beat.  And yes I'm aware that they are still too young. By the time they are ready to sleep in big girl beds, we'll probably have our own rugrat.  Regardless, owning two twin beds couldn't hurt.  At least that's what I keep telling myself.  I'm in love with the the look and symmetry of two small beds beside each other.

What do you all think of mixing up the bed frames? 

Does it throw off the symmetry?

I sorta like the idea of mixing iron and wood?
