The Bed That Tim Built

Good Morning World!  I had a wonderful night of sleep in my new bed!  Here it is!  Dh installed it last night:

He and a friend pulled all of the wood from the woods around here and built it from scratch.  His friend had built beds like this before, and so taught dh how to do it.  If you remember seeing dd10's bed, the railings in our loft and the railings on our front deck and steps, dh's friend also made these.  Cool, eh?

I hope you enjoyed this show and tell.  You can click on the image above if you'd like to see more similar show and tells.

Resting in His Faithfulness,

Carol

ohhhhh WOW Carol !!!! I will for sure have to show Luke !!! He has talked about wanting to do this kind of handiwork. He is my hands on kind of boy. I wondered about the bunkbeds. I would LOVE for the boys to have that style in their room. I think I am going to have to get my older brother to help us make some bed frames. [0=

How are things going in your neck of the woods ?

Sending you BIG blessings and ((HUGS)) my SSiC

Wow, Carol! What a blessing you have in your husband's talent! He did a great job! :)

I think I'd string some twinkle-lights across the headboard... it looks like it's ready for some... :)

Have a wonderful weekend!

Did I tell you how jealous my husband is that YOUR husband makes his own furniture. A dream of his... it looks beautiful!

That is the coolest bed ever! I love it! But I have to tell you what my 5 year old dd said (hee hee). She pointed to the top centerpiece of the head board, you know the part that sticks up, and she said "he has to cut that twig off!" Kids sure are funny.

Wow - That is gorgeous! and it really 'fits' since you all live in the mountains. I wish I had the creativity to do neat stuff like that. I have always admired woodworking/projects made with wood - and I LOVE the 'knotty pine' look for decorating.
Congratulate your DH for a job well done!

I think if I was a child I would want to play-act Little Red Riding Hood or The Three Bears in that bed--how unique!

Wow! That is a really neat bed! My dd (16) has one 'similar' but we certainly didn't make it ourselves! Your husband is very talented.

Beautiful workmanship!

Thank you so much for the verse the other day. I'm clinging onto it and some others to get me through each day. I'm VERY sick and know that IV's are around the corner. I can't do this much more. It's God's strength and the prayers that carry me through each minute.
