Beds

Beds, beds, and more beds.

I made a bed, from an online tutorial, to see how it would fit into the bedroom. It was to scale but the design made it a tiny bit too large. However, my own design was for a 'Utility' bed which would give me a few more millimetres. I made that one from the old catalogue for utility furniture. There was an alternative design, and I made that one too.

I am trying to keep everything as near to what I remember in our real house. I just couldn't quite remember what my parents' bed was like. The utility ones just didn't ring any bells. I was searching online, for some sizes, and came across another bed. As soon as I saw a tiny little bit in the middle of the headboard, I knew right away that it was the very style my parents originally had. It had a little bit of decoration and I could never figure out what it was for. It looked like a handle. I remember asking my mum - decoration. Now I have to make another bed! Picture will follow. I might even make the other two again with more modifications.

 

A lot of bits arrived last week. Parts to finish the bedroom fireplace, wood, material and a few other things. I was able to make the second bed when the wood arrived. I'd run out of a particulaar thickness. I have almost completed the fireplace and the materials are for the window curtains. I have also ordered a room box which will be sent today. I have things to get on with whilst I am waiting for that to arrive. It will be a 'photo booth' as well as a 'spare room' where the overflow of furniture can go. 

 

Another busy week ahead.
