bed -my husband's work-

I wanted to show you readers this bed my husband made for a customer recently.

it is made out of all recycled materials!

a couple of doors are used, I think, for this bed frame.

he got all the material from the Rebuilding Center, located on N Mississippi ave in Portland.

it is such a cool store where they sell all the recyclable/reusable building materials, which is all donated from the previous owners.  you can find not only lumbers, but also lots of used old doors, windows, sinks, drawers,,, etc...  most of the things there is reasonably priced, and sometimes you get lucky to find a really nice stuff for very cheap!!

the company which my husband works for also uses a lot of recycled materials from the store,

and builds/remodels houses, restaurants, and shops like below!!

interested?  you have a building project/inquiry??
you know who to contact ;)

no more sleeping on the floor!

last weekend, my husband suddenly decided to make a bad frame.

well, finally...

we've been sleeping on the floor(Japanese style, I guess) for... over a year....

he left to the shop saturday afternoon, saying he would be done in a few hours.

of course, things always take longer than what you expected/estimated.

he didn't get too far that day, and next morning he went working again.

came back home 1:30AM that night with all the parts.

and next morning, we assembled the bed.

taddaaaaaaa!

this is our new bed :)

it is his own design!

no nails/screws are visible.

he's planning on making drawers underneath the bed.
but we'll see when that's going to happen.

maybe in six months, or a year or two...

thanks, babe!!

having a carpenter(well, timberframer, so he prefers to be called.) as husband is definitely handy and awesome :) :) :)

if you'd like him to design/built you a bed(or anything!),

please contact me:)
