My head board project part 6

The positioning

At first, we were planning to put the pillars on top of the table with the height of the pillars were already measured and it fits perfectly to the ceiling. However, we listed all the pro’s and cons of having it this way…

Since too many bad things might happen, an improvisation was needed. Wifey suggested to have it next to the bed instead (there goes my hidden place for my portable table as it will block the access).

So, we put them on the side of the bed. Wifey wanted to paint the wall first before i mount the pillars to the wall. So, from the blue ‘cloudy’ wall, it turned magically into grey…A layer of wall sealing paint was needed though before applying the grey. We painted the table top first before painting the wall. Same methods were used as per painting the pillars/mdf.

Things i used;

1 - 10 pcs of 6mm wall plugs on each side

2 - 5pcs of 4" x 4" steel L bracket on each side

3 - 20 pcs of #8 x 1" self tap screws

So, as everything starting to come into place, with wiring and lighting installation done (all properly secured in a junction box and mounted+hidden), wifey had more ideas on how to make the hidden shelves without having to cut more MDF and waste time to paint them again…just buy a small book shelves of 3 tier! We bought them from Tesco for RM10 (2 days later, Tesco reduce the price further to RM8.90..cesss…). The shelves fit right between the gaps between the bed and the wall – initially planned for my hidden table, so we have hidden shelves now installed!

The remaining item;

1. Wallpaper on the wall in between pillars.
2. Underbed storage
3. Head rest
4. Better switching position for our lightings and fan

Phew…ITS SOOOO FREAKIN’ FUN‼!
