Steps to DIY a Bed

Step 1

♥♥♥ Find a Strong Man♥♥♥

Find a strong Man... who works with brains and actions. Be ready to be his 3rd, 4th hands cos his 2 are occupied most of the time.

Be ready to get your ideas shot down sometimes... at least he listened... :p Hus was struggling with diarrhoea through out yesterday's strenuous work, he still performed at his best. *applause* He's the man.

Step 2

♥♥♥Plan your Work♥♥♥

We started on this last week and carried on yesterday. Brought it to completion as well. Very happy .

We drew our plans, discussed, calculated... And Made it possible.

Step 3

♥♥♥Lay Strong Foundation♥♥♥

A Strong foundation has been laid for this bed... It won't fall apart in 20 yrs i think, but the fabric isn't going last as long. Fabric bed sold in the market also won't last very long but the cost alot more...

This bed takes us less than 200 bucks, but a lot of time ok? We screwed (self-tapping screws) using conventional screwdrivers ok? We get super numb hands just by doing the wooden part. Count the no. of screws? A rough gauge(12 * 3 +4*2+4*2+4*2+2*4+2*4, etc...)

Step 4

♥♥♥Upholstery♥♥♥

Place nice support to give "body" to the bed. As bed supposed to be nice and comfy, try to soften all hard edges...

This is not possible withot Hus, there's alot of flipping of the bed and using of "staple gun" isn't easy at all. I wasted abt 5 to get 1 staple securely tighted, while Hus actually enjoyed the "piang" resound at every gunning. I had to close my eyes really hard before giving the last squeeze...

Sigh... I'm as useless as i am.

Step 5

♥♥♥Finishes♥♥♥

We finished our bed with a nice textured Jet black fabric... I thought the final was amazing, i love the outlook of this bed. Look almost like the ones sold outside. I'm certain people won't know that it's made... and given the non-creaky and silent bed, it's not unbelieveable.

I couldn't wait to move in, but i think Hus wanna take his time to do that. There's no plans as to when we are getting ready to go, how are we going to make this moving possible, the rest of the things that we haven buy, when are we buying them?

Hus and i has been talking like friends, probably because of the last 2 accounts. We're the coward couples who dun even raise up such a obvious issue... are we leaving it there like the previous times? But i was a happy audrey yesterday. I enjoyed making the bed although it's very tiring. and the walls of my house are done with the painting. now flawlessly coloured. I'm glad to find happy drey again.
