What’s The Big Idea?

This is the kickoff to a new MMA weekly series…”What’s the big idea?!”  Okay, it’s actually the opposite.  They are little ideas… but that can have a BIG impact on a design.

So what’s lined up for this week?  It’s pretty ‘straight’ forward (pun intended!)…  do you have a bedroom wall with a bunch of jigs and jogs?  Here we added a built-in headboard to create those clean lines everyone is looking for.   It makes the room feel more generous by visually decluttering and allows use of an otherwise tricky wall for furnishings.

The built-in headboard is clad with horizontal boards and bed side table is carved out with a cabinet door below for bonus storage.  What would have been a small space cluttered with side tables is now made spacious and functional.

Okay, that’s Week #1… let’s see how long I can keep this up? Maybe next time we’ll talk about those nice leather pulls!
