A new year, a new home, a new bed

1/11/2015

 
Happy New Year, folks!  Our first blog for the 2015 year (after a long 6 month absence) is written by Bart Thrasher himself (with a large amount of guidance from his wife, Karen).  Welcome back!
 
One of my favorite clients underwent another major renovation to their home in the Vickery Place neighborhood of Dallas last year.  This is the same home which has the beautiful figured maple kitchen by yours truly.  For this addition / renovation, Thrasher Works was selected to build all the millwork including the pictured master bed.

The bed is a king sized platform bed designed by Daron Tapscott, a fellow architect in the neighborhood.  As you can see, the bed is built in with storage below and to each side.  I used a domestic veneer core maple plywood with highly figured maple panels on the headboard.  Note, the center section of the headboard is to be upholstered (photos coming soon).

Shop drawings created in Google Sketch Up for the owner to review and approve before any wood is cut.

Bart has moved away from traditional CAD software, using Sketch Up instead as it provides a simple interface & quick 3D renderings.

There is deep drawer storage under the bed itself, ideal for storing away bed linens.  On either side of the bed the night stands have doors above that enclose a compartment with shelf and electrical plug ins while below there is a drawer for additional storage.  To maintain the minimal, low profile look, no hardware was used.  Instead we notched the doors and drawers. 

This is a detail which is carried throughout all the new cabinetry we built for this addition.  We are working now on building custom beds for each of the home owner's two children.   More photos of those to come soon.
