New Bed

When you live in a 700 square foot space, storage is always an issue.  Jan had the bright idea to utilize the space under our bed.  She wanted drawers that pulled out for convenient storage.  She also wanted better bed-side tables with more storage space with a drawer and a door.  And, of course, it all should compliment the other woodwork in the great room; live edge cherry.  So what follows is what I came up with.  We eliminated the box spring.  The mattress sits on a plywood deck. (feels fine!)  That gave us more space.  And we raised the whole thing a couple more inches.  That actually makes it easier to get out of bed!  And gives even more space.  All the cherry grain matches across the end and along the sides, from continuous boards.  One long one for the headboard.  The side table fronts are fancy grained that continues from drawer to door.  The drawers are actually boxes on wheels that roll in and out.
