BED FRAME FOR BESTIE Brief: My bestie [OLIVIA] needs a NEW BED frame FOR HER apartment. Her budget is ‘As little as possible’. Insight: I [Chloe] have limited [but valuable] information on how to build things. I also have access to a garage of tools and a surplus of free time due to being #jobless. Concept: Building a bed frame inspired by japanese bed frames I looked at here. 
THE START: GETTING INSPO, MEASURING THINGS, & GETTING THE WOOD.WE DECIDED TO USE REFURBISHED WOOD, [FREE] FROM A SCRAP PILE. THIS MEANT WE HAD TO SAND AND STAIN THE WOOD.
THE CLIMAX: BUILDING THIS THANG! LOTS OF MEASURING, TOOLS, & SIMPSON CORNER BRACKETS. 
NOT PICTURED: US SANDING THE WOOD FOR LIKE 2+ HOURS AND GETTING LOTS OF DUST IN OUR EYES 
THE RESULT: A BEAUTIFUL STAINED BED FRAME THAT SITS LOW ENOUGH TO THE FLOOR FOR BESTIES SLANTED CEILING. MADE FROM 100% RECYCLED WOOD, & 7 HOURS OF OUR BLOOD, SWEAT, & TEARS.
