susannah has decided We have a brand new mattress and as of today, brand new slats (both thanks to the mold catastrophe). I've been meaning to paint the bed frame white for a while (it is currently a yucky fake oak foil finish - thanks Ikea). The bed is currently disassembled and we've been sleeping on the mattress on the floor.
It's not actually oak, it's particleboard with an oak foil finish. It's not veneered or varnished, but you do have to use a special primer or the paint will just sort of slide off (I've done this before). Anyway, riv overruled me because she really really wanted to have the bed together (and we may end up moving this summer anyway, so I could paint it then).

Go ahead and paint the bed now, while it's already disassembled, because otherwise I'll never get around to it.

Will you ever actually paint it if you wait?
My choice: Put the bed together now, with the shiny new slats (now with actually ergonomic features). Accept that it may end up being a while before I actually paint the bed.
