Platform Bed

One of my clients recently arrived in town. This is the bed that they commissioned me to build.

I decided that a slightly back-sloping headboard would look more interesting than a vertical one.

The headboard is 5 feet tall. The top of the platform is only 6 inches of the ground. The old recycled Douglas Fir boards received an espresso finish. The horizontal boards in the headboard came from a decommisioned barn in Scio Oregon.

It was a fun project, especially figuring out how to keep the tall headboard together with the low platform. This new modern platform bed design was christened the Dreamboat.
