Sure. I've been going since 3:30am, but no problem: Ill go take some freakin' pics.

It's a three-piece unit, as we have problems getting a Queen-sized frame or boxspring around a tight corner at the bottom of the stairs, plus I don't have any help to lift one, big piece. There's a Left, Right, and "foot piece", creating a "U" shape. No headboard yet.

Each carcass sits on a black sub-base. It's all Maple otherwise, with plywood construction and face frames. I'm leaving them as "open boxes" right now, because I'm undecided if we should do drawers, doors, or just wicker baskets that will sit in the cubbies. I'll do more with the visible ends of the "foot piece" (The one on top of the other) when I decide on doors/drawers and an overall theme. Ditto with a headboard.

I'm also going to build a bit of an inclination into the head end, hence the "rail" around the top to hold in the mattress.

Ah Mark you're a real trooper!!

Love the wall colours and the French door hue looks very similar to our new kitchen reno cabinets.

Oh, and the bed thingy looks nice as well.

Not quite Got Wood worthy, but I finished a purchased piece of furniture with a water based polyurethane over the weekend. Being in the confined space of an apartment I was worried about the smell, despite assurances from the store that it would not be an issue.

I must say I am most impressed as there were no noxious fumes at all. I did still ventilate, but it was hardly needed.

I switched (from oil based) to Varathane water based clearcoat a couple of years back. Great product. You can build coats of clear very quickly and easily as it dries in something like 1/2 hr, and of course, cleanup is a breeze.

I don't know if this is part of the got wood or build my media room.

had some wood.



thought.." self, you are never going to lay this hardwood floor down in the dining room so why bother leaving it here in the way. Why not build something "

so I did some jointing, and planing and sawing, and drilling, and routing and glueing and more planing and sanding and got this



and with a bit of stain



will put one some more polymerized tung oil to finish I think. When this is done for the main floor TV room, I will have to make it's bigger brother for the media room in the basement.

I know wood species can change regionally. From here it looks like walnut. Nice job, Matt. Are all those spaces for gla$$ shelves? I really like the convenience of putting a wine rack on the back. Smart!

Seriously, though--- nice, open, airy, minimal design. I'll bet your kitchen looks like a beautifully veneered pathology lab with a black, no, red wire basket of perfect green apples, alone, on 18 feet of stainless steel counter. (OK, so it doesn't look like that, but you want it to, right?)
