The Bed Story

So, after Michael and I got married we purchased a bed frame for ourselves with money from our wedding. A couple years later, we sold all our furniture before moving to Boston.

In Boston we slept on an air mattress for a few months. This was because we were subletting a studio apartment and knew we weren't going to be there for very long. After we moved into our other apartment, we bought a mattress from a liquidation warehouse. It's a California king, with regular king size box springs and a metal frame. This is what we've had ever since.

For quite a while Michael has been wanting a real bed frame ever since. A few weeks ago he started looking online to see how much it would cost to buy a bed frame. Since we have a California king, it's quite expensive. Way out of our price range. So, we decided to build one. Michael looked around online and found a picture of one someone else built to get an idea and figured out a schematic for our own bed frame. We bought the lumber and hardware Presidents' Day weekend, and sanded and stained it over the next couple of days. We assembled it on Wednesday that week, and here are the results:
