Craigslist Fail / Bed for Sale

Remember when I posted about my various projects in the works? Well I finished one! I bought this bed on Craigslist, but wasn't a fan of the wood color. I wanted to put it in the guest room and add a bright color. I bought some enamel Benjamin Moore paint in a fun red color and painted 5 (FIVE!) coats of paint on the bed. I love how it turned out.

Then I moved it upstairs (from the basement) to set up the guest bed.
"Hmm...that looks kinda narrow now that it's in the room."

Measuring ensues.

Swearing follows.

So the lady I bought it from told me it was a Queen size bed frame. It is a full size. Fail. Six inches of fail. Queen size beds are 60", full size are 54".
Sooo...anyone want to buy a bed frame?

maybe I can convince your brother I need it and you could put it in your parents car and have them drive it back to me? although I'm not sure the color would work in our current guest room.
