Where is the wood sourced from?

There are a million recycled wood furniture makers, especially hardwood pallet recyclers. Local artisanship... Just sayin'...

I know a guy in Martinez that'd be happy to put it together for you.

Agreed...I generally like the woods and carpentry that come out of Mexico and the Amish stuff done up north and back east is really lovely if you don't mind waiting for it, it's well worth it. I like to get expensive pieces that I plan to keep and then upcycle/redo stuff that I'm feeling trendy on.

There was a little girl,
            Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
            When she was good,
            She was very good indeed,
But when she was bad she was horrid.

Quality! Plus, if you haven't noticed- I'm kinda expensive to keep around (but worth it).

I'm all for quality furniture.  It tends to last.

And this wall paper on an accent wall...

now to find four large rectangular wall mirrors for the wall...

I'm thinking grass cloth in the adjoining bathroom...


OMG that would all go perfect with a hula girl night lamp

Hmmm...this has me thinking...I have this beautiful glass top table I had made by a local guy about 15 years ago. It's kind of a stacked cubist thing. I had found this amazing solid wood table that I just didn't want to dish out the coin for- I mean kitchen tables get beat to shit over time- anyway, he made me the table in walnut veneer instead of solid. You'd never guess (unless you have to move it). It has held up beautifully and is a very striking piece. Maybe I should reach out to him and see what his take would be on the bed. I'm not sure if I'm digging the platform style anyway....

Thanks @sean92008 !

With the exception of Ivory and Brazilian rosewood, I believe Mexico's government allows them to bring in all sorts of woods and materials that are banned in the United States unless imported as a finished product.
Eh, nevermind...

Those little things like radiuses of edges and router bits choices could make a really striking visual match. You know, the type that you bring guests to look at your bedroom furniture because it was made by the guy that made your dining table. Hahaha!

I would also think there would be a ton of wood salvaged from old buildings and barns being on the edge of the Midwest.
Eh, nevermind...

Thank you, @PB .
I think I'll keep the hotshot near at hand just in case.

            She was very good indeed,
