Tanya designed it. I engineered it. We built it together. Neighbor Karl Hansen helped me carry it upstairs: a whitewashed headboard and footboard built like fencing. These pieces are heavy, because it's a king-size bed.
We haven't had a real bed -- something more than the metal bedframe that comes with the mattress and box spring -- since we've been married. It was fun fixing that problem with this project.
Wow, how unique! And very nice looking. I gotta know -- did you think about putting a green quilt on it and getting pillows with houses on them? :)
ReplyDeleteThat's very cool. Just watch out for kids peeping through knotholes.

ReplyDeleteMikael, I replied to your comment, I thought, but it got lost. I love the idea. However, it'd be hard to beat the quilt Tanya found, shown.
ReplyDeleteThat bed rocks! David and I always make (re-cover) our own headboards. It's fun and it's a cheap way to change things up.
ReplyDeleteWoo-hoo! I'm a winner!
ReplyDeleteAnd I didn't even have to go with "Aren't you worried that Ollie will get confused and do his business on your bedspread? Or mark the fence?"
Mona! Welcome!
ReplyDeleteOllie? You mean Oliver, the Green Arrow? Or do you mean Olie, our dog?
