Yup, that beautiful piece of carpentry is handmade by non other than Josh and me. Ok, Raleigh helped a little bit…And we are not entirely finished. It still needs its bright red coat of spray paint.
The four corner posts were wood pieces that we got from my FIL Steve when he had to clean out his garage to move to a different city. (I just knew they would come in handy).
The side boards were part of an old bunk bed that my brothers used to sleep on that we acquired from my parents. We couldn’t figure out how to get the bunk bed to go together again so I decided to use some of the wood and some of the hardware pieces to make this bed.
We’re quite proud of ourselves but then we are humbled by the fact that the bed frame is a bit longer than the mattress still (nothing a Skilsaw won’t fix) and the foot of the bed is slightly narrower than the head of the bed…by a good 2 inches.
Oh well. It’s our $20 bed. Yes, that is actually all the money we actually put into it.
I’ll post a better picture of it when it is bright red. :)
Also, a very Happy Birthday to SweetMarySunshine today!
