footless Noresund
Materials: Noresund, lumber
description: The footboard Noresund was a bit too big for our smallish room, so we decided to To take it out. Since Noresund bed is an autonomous structure (ie chests resting on the step) we simply could not remove the step and call it done.
We had to build a new fully footboard. Fortunately, we still have wood left for projects like this. We (well, my husband Andoni) used a piece of 2 × 4 and 2 × 8 for the new footboard, plus three metals (one for each side and one for the environment) so that the sideboards / rest of the bed? ?? the rest structure? thereon.
I thought to paint in black, but 1) No one will ever see, and 2) It's not like they '???? re will really match, so why?
We just wanted to get rid of the footboard without cutting in case, we always get a bigger room or want to sell the bed, but without having to spend money on this project.
So, mission accomplished, I think. And just in case you're wondering why I really wanted to get rid of the footboard, there is an image that could help explain better (when the drawers are open space is tight).
More Noresund footboard.
