I have wanted Justin to make me a bed for the past few years but he claimed he never had the space or the time. So a few months ago I saw this awesome idea where you use old doors for a headboard and footboard. I told Justin I wanted him to help me but had a hard time finding old doors. I had given up until I talked to my sister-in-law one day and she said they might have some old doors in an old cabin on their property. Lucky for me there was and we traded for some work Justin had done. Since Justin had the time he decided the bed could be my present this year. Now my idea was only the beginning of this bed, Justin went well beyond my dreams and made this incredible bed. I love it! Finally, after 10 years of marriage we actually have a bed and not just a mattress set. Now maybe in another 10 years I can get some new luxurios bedding and my bedroom will become quite the honeymoon suite!!

That is awesome! What a great idea and it was probably so inexpensive too. It looks beautiful! Good work.
That looks great! Holy what a good job. I bet it makes your room look more finished? Tell Justin good job.
It takes ten years? I've been wanting a log bed for well, 4.5 years. I guess I've got a ways to go. Sad day. :) Your bed looks awesome! I didn't know Justin had such skills with a saw - oh wait, yeah I did. :) He did work with my dad for forever!
HOLY SMOKES - that is awesome!!! It means so much more that he actually spent time building it himself for YOU!
I bet the pictures don't do it justice - great job Justin!!
The bed turned out beautifully! I love it. Justin did a great job. It is awesome!!
he did a great job! I am doing the same, but I have to get rid of my sleigh bed first! and I just found my doors again-from our move!
Way to go Justin!!! The bed is beautiful, Rachel. Love the idea.
It's gorgeous! Your hubby does awesome work. I love how it looks with the quilt and the red wall behind it. I think I may be a little jealous :)
WOW! Do you lease Justin out?
