This is me being selfish and curious, I'm moving soon and am looking
to buy or make my own bedframe ... you all know me well enough to know
that I want it to be functional/pervertable as well.
Ideally I'd love a big four post bed, dark wood, stained in reds for
that dark lovely victorian look and have it littered with eye hooks
and be suspension safe.
But my room is again going to be the size of a closet so I have to
work with it.
SO... my compromise ideal:
I want to put two twin mattresses on the frame without me providing a
box spring as well, that I can put on risers (or is tall enough) to
put big storage containers under... so it has to be at least two feet
off the ground. It would be best if the containers are accessable
from all sides of the bed, especially at the foot.
mattresses will of course be covered with a queen/king (whatever size the bed is when ya put two twin mattresses on it) eggcrate foamy thing and luscious sheets/blankies/pillows to make it niiiice and comfortable.
The large bed WILL get in the way of my closet no matter where I put
it (yep, room is THAT small) so I'm taking the door off of the closet and
hanging tasteful courtains instead, I can't use the wood from the
door, heh.
I don't have an ebay account, I don't want to spend more then $100-150
either making my own paying (ie for materials and some labor),
buying/thrifting it from somewhere and of course free would be great.
If I could steal the frames from college, that would be peachy
too... without getting fined or found out of course. But that is unlikely.. so I'm scrapping the idea for now.
This is me asking for help:
Good stores/links
best places to find cheap prices in building materials
SIMPLE designs
AAAAAAAAAAND just incase I've bored you....
This is also me asking you all what you have built or large pieces
that you own ... if you haven't built anything tell us all something
large you have perverted/converted ... and if none of that still
applies, tell us what your big furnature dreams are!!
pictures welcome
