New Bed

I built this bed for Amy:

Previously, she just had an old dark-stained headboard attached to a metal frame that we had picked up at a garage sale years ago.  It was fine, but feeling the need to play with some power tools and expand my domestic skills, I found some how-to instructions online and built her this bed frame.  Materials cost me close to $200 and I borrowed a friend's compound mitre saw to cut the wood.  (I really want my own saw someday...)  Seems like a good deal to me - for solid wood construction and it's based on the "Farmhouse" bed that Pottery Barn sells for $1,200. 

Stay tuned... matching end table, dresser and shelving is in progress.
