Our new bed!

OK, it took me almost a week, but, I finished our new bed Easter Sunday! I went out to the woods, just me and the dogs while Eddie was at the recording studio, and spent about 4 hours gathering the lumber; all the while designing the piece in my head. The larger posts I actually gathered with an ax! because I am scared of that bloody chainsaw, hehe. I loaded it all up and drove home, and began the piecing together process. I needed Eddie's help towards the end, and while I had the general idea, he was the one that came behind me and told me where we should brace it. (Something that had not quite crossed my mind! I had the aesthetics down, though!)
Check out the finished product in our room! (I also made the bedspread and curtains a few months back.)
