Bedroom Builder

For the bed I've raised it up from the level it originally was to fit more storage space underneath. I'm also moving it all forward a bit as it narrows a lot at the head end.

The frame is a pretty sturdy construction with a space to the right as an inspection hatch to access the hull. A set of drawers will go in the middle. I've never built drawers before so it will be an interesting little task.


The top is done with ply. Half inch ply is reasonably insulative but I'll probably add a layer of thin insulation and a felt cover to protect the mattress.


For the head board I've made a rounded one that accommodates the lower back nicely when sat in bed. I've found some scrap foam which should cover it nicely and then Clare can find a nice fabric to go over it. With the free foam the headboard has cost nothing to build as all the wood came from Jewsons' scrap wood pile.
