Projects that's what! Our minds start spinning of things that we want to do and when there's an impulsive reaction to get crackin' on our little to-do's boy do we go after them. Tim and I aren't really wait around and see kinda folks, we like to dive head first.
So we spent last weekend designing a new bed! (and the only thing we had to discuss more than once was if we should stick with a Queen size or go for the King) By Sunday, the sun was shining and we were in full blown carpentry world!
Measuring & Cutting the pieces for the platform bed:
Welding & Fabricating the design for the headboard:
A little game of peek & boo with the sun & Tim rubbing it in that he gets to be all manly AND drink a cold beer!
Staining & more staining:
A glimpse of what the headboard will look like:
And there it is! The headboard is nicely mounted to the wall! Isn't it awesome!? The pieces of the platform are ready and waiting in the garage but our NEW KING mattress won't be delivered until next week so in the meantime we'll be happy with the headboard and enjoy the smell of fresh, goodness in our master bedroom.
Tim was really pleased with how everything turned out and I was super impressed! We learned a lot about furniture making. However, I don't think he knew that this all comes with a price. Sure we saved money since we didn't go buy a whole bed set and we built it ourselves, but now I've got to go get King sized bedding and eventually we'll have to discuss night stands and a dresser. :) All with time though. I'm still basking in the goodness of what this new bed is going to bring me -- good, quality, SLEEP! I figure if Little B is going to make sleeping a bit more difficult In a Benton World, then at least the sleep we do get should be glorious in our new bed!
