Bessie gets beds

It has been a slow week.  Most of the stuff done this week was done on paper with my father.  We plotted out where the cabinet walls would go.  He prepared some wood for the two beds that would hang on the walls.  And as of yesterday, one of the beds was ready to have a sample hanging on the wall to double check measurements.  My mother was photographer this week.

Walmart bed frame
I needed a lightweight bed frame made of steel, so it would be strong.  Walmart had just the thing.  The Spa Sensations full sized bed was the proper size for the kids beds.  It comes in two pieces with each piece being 28" x 75" roughly.  Certainly narrower than a twin bed, but I needed something as low profile as possible.  Knowing that the beds were going to be an irregular size, I also went ahead and bought the full sized Spa Sensations 4" foam mattress topper which I will cut in half.

The bed turned out great.  Very lightweight yet sturdy.
