We just moved back to the USA and were using an old borrowed bed. I finally managed to find the time to build us a bed frame and headboard. I started with some plans from Ana White but soon it became something of my own.
I designed a queen size bed with 2 huge drawers that come out of end of the bed-frame. The bed-frame is actually in two parts to allow me to move it better in the future, and I just bolted the halves together.
Once the frame was finished, I build a headboard onto the bed. Because of the stiff angle of most headboards, I decided to make on that was reclined. It's attached to the bed so it doesn't wobble at all, and is great for reading or sitting up in bed.
