The bed finally finished...

The old bedhead - now with added height and backboard so he can actually lean back against it...

Hinged with access to storage space for extra pillows.

The old growth chart that used to sit on the side of an STEN unit - I saved it and re-used it here...for old times' sake.

The final product with handles from the kitchen (yes that's another project on the to-do list).

Added wooden 'biscuits' to keep the panelling in place - shift them aside and you can then pry open the flap.

The little door at the end made from the leftover drawer front

Mattress back on (yes it's the old one - I've yet to order the new king single).  It'll have to do for now...
