Cosmic Tree Loft Bedroom
Rustic Soft Maple and Pine Bed with Air-brushed Wall Mural
More a promised work than a commission my daughter's bedroom has been a
long time coming. In order to reach this point of completion,
first a storm had to blow through our area knocking down a suitable limb
for the support tree. Along with that tree came other branches
which I skinned of bark and used for supporting the various shelving.
For the bed itself, I went for a more traditional approach using cut and
planed pine with a sheet of plywood for the base.
Samsara's room began with the wall mural of the cosmos, airbrushed
before before she moved into her room and now with the bed completed I
still have further ideas for it. Eventually, if I can find the
time before she grows beyond it, I would like to build her a tree house
which she could have direct access to from her room. I would like
to replace the window with a door and add a Juliet balcony joining the
two upstairs rooms, and from there create a way to go into the trees.
This idea would serve not only as a unique addition but also as a
practical fire escape. But for now, it's nice to have her bed up
off the floor creating a comfy library niche and storage area for her
books and such. With the sloped ceiling limiting the room's space
the loft added much needed floor and storage space.
All pine board and building materials were supplied by
Apsley Home Building Centre Wellington Street, Apsley Ontario. Twice they
have delivered materials to my door without charge. A nice change
from the usual.
