Making a bed frame! (with photos)

Continuing on with our desire to buy less pre-fabricated furniture and create more of the pieces that we actually want, Ian finished our new bed frame yesterday.

Here is the process of the bed frame taking shape. We purchased 2x8" knotty pine for the boards and 1x6" pine for the underside with the 4x4" post. At the end of the day, it is likely overbuilt but we hope it will last us a life time. Enjoy the photos!

All the wood cut down to size.

Following staining the first section put together.

It's beginning to look like something.

All the pieces laid out on the floor.

The underside framework tying everything in together.

Flip over the heavy wood and voila! You have yourself a bed!!!

Ian had a lot of fun building this and we hope you enjoyed the process!

Love always,

AL + Ian
