OH Pinterest and the things you learn. I actually first heard about this from Sarah Richardson, but pinterest has the way of helping me remember with these great photos.
To achieve the look of a nice upholstered bed, you can simply upholster (wrap it in fabric) your box spring and add furniture legs. A simple inexpensive DIY bed.
Has anyone made a bed using this technique? I would love to hear about it.
Inspired by that very photo on Pinterest, I did it about a month ago and love it! Our box spring had been scratched to heck by the cats. I used some dark brown microfiber fabric, 2 yards for a Queen size bed.
ReplyDeleteThe bottom was really easy to attach, I just used my electric staple gun to attach the fabric. The top was trickier as it doesn't have wood on that side, so I used Stitch-witch! It worked wonderfully and has held up.
Another tricky part was figuring out where to have my ends line up since the fabric wasn't long enough to go around each side, just around the ends. So I wrapped the ends (foot, head) first and put the fabric over the sides last.
I'm really happy with how it turned out.
