"FIT" for a King

When we were contacted to quote this project, Pete took on the challenge with his usual "can do" attitude. Suzy wanted her grandmother's bed adapted to a king size. The original (incredible) bedstead was the traditional short and narrow "double" of the mid- to late 19th century. After much deliberation and an extensive material search, the project came to life. We were fortunate enough to procure  pirated pieces from other beds and black walnut milled from our property to complete the project. Rich from Pagels Wood Columns  provided us with replicated finials and turnings. From start to finish this beautiful bed has been transported into 21st century use with 19th century elements. The clients are thrilled to use grandma's bed in their master bedroom adapted to accommodate their Sleep Number king bed.
