Here are a couple of custom beds that we made over the past few months. Similar, but very different.
This first bed was built for a client here in Portland. To make sure the proportions and overall vibe were what she wanted, we mocked the bed up out of stud-grade lumber and installed it so she could sleep within the canopy for a few months before construction began. Result—just right.

| The mattress is european sized, so this may very well be the largest bed we could ever make. |
 |
| This bed is rift-white oak, with a "pickled" white stain, upholstery is white felt. |
 |
| Here is a detail of the foot-rail-- mitered wood and upholstery seam up perfectly. We also made sure that the wood grain was continuous through the mitered joint. |

This next bed was made for a suite in the Waverley Building here in Portland. Interior design by Inside Design International— both the client, and designer (Kim Hagstette) were great to work with!
 |
| This bed is also rift-white oak, but we stained this a very dark, Van Dyke brown. |
 |
| The "lacy" headboard is meant to provide privacy from the windows in the back, while not feeling too enclosed. |
 |
| The perforated felt was fabricated by Moufelt, another fantastic firm in Portland pushing the limits of material. Our job was to seamlessly integrate it into the design, no easy task. |
