Hello Guys,
We are making a guest room in a very small space and want to convert a double bed with a frame and box spring to something we saw in the Pottery Barn catalog.
Here is a picture of the bed, it is $1000, I am thinking, you should be able to make something decent for a whole lot less.
http://www.priceoffuel.com/barrym/bed.jpg I don't have a lot of experience with this kind of thing and don't have much for tools, just a skill saw and a sabre saw, no exotic tools. It doesn't have to be an exact replica, this one has panel inserts which I would never be able to do. My thought is to frame it with 1 X4" pine boards, although not sure how to do it and make it look right, will finish nails do the trick, although it sure would be easier with screws. I assume in order for it to look right, you would have to miter the boards, I think you can pick up a simple hand miter box for little money.
Any idea on how to do this, what techniques, what materials or any other help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Barry
