FREE FOOTAGE

My room is gradually coming together. My bed is no longer in the living room.

I took this old set of waterbed drawers….

And sanded and stained them a little and put them under my bed…

But my bed looked a little plain.

It needed a footboard. So out I went to my pile of free doors and found a set of bi-fold ones. Did you know that the height of closet doors is the same as the width of a king size bed?

Remember all those ends and sides I cut off the other doors?

I used them to frame the bi-folds and ta-da… a footboard…

Just a little too plain for me so I cut up some more ends and sides…

I sanded and painted…

Looks nice but I wanted a more aged look so I sanded and stained it a little…

I’m tired, I think I’ll go soak in the tub…
