an old new bed

There she is in all her glory! My parents arrived for a weekend visit with this big ‘ol California King sized bed in tow, literally. Mr. M and my Dad got quite the workout carrying the teak sides up the stairs, and quickly assembled it in the master bedroom.
The bed was a wedding present from my brother Mark. We had shown him distressed wood furniture that we liked before, and without any prompt, he created this gorgeous bed for us.
Here’s a closeup detail of the footboard and the headboard:


Looking at these photos now wants to make me jump in bed and sleep for ages… and yes it is as comfy as it looks.














That is absolutely gorgeous! I sleep on a blow up mattress every night, so I am experiencing some major bed envy!
I love that bed! What a great wedding gift from your brother. He does beautiful work.
I am in complete awe. Jealously doesn’t even come close!
What a talented brother you have!
Holy crap! That is gorgeous! What a delightful place to climb into every night.
