Anniversary Present

Our anniversary is next Wednesday (Aug. 4th) so I decided to build a canopy bed as a present for Sarah (my wife) as an anniversary gift. Got the idea in the morning (I think while I was in the shower), took a few hours off from work, came up with a plan, shopped for supplies and built it – all before Sarah got home from work. She loved it.

I wanted to use large spindles for it, but couldn’t find any near by so I used hand rails for the poles. The top is solid and has 5 long mirrors across it – romantic, right. And the sides have sheer drapes hanging down. The whole thing cost around $250 and wound up looking really nice. Everyone that has seen it really likes it. I think I scored some points with this one.
