Lifting a Bed!
Jun. 13th, 2008 01:08 amHey all!
I have a bit of an issue on my hands. I recently bought the Ikea MALM bed (cause it was the cheapest one, lol) and it turned out to be waaaay too low for my taste. It's like sleeping at floor level. Not really, but it's really low. So, I was going to get a bunch of cinderblocks and upholster (sort of.) them in cute fabrics and just plunk em under my bed.
Of course, I don't really think cinderblocks will be too stable, seeing as I want the bed waaaay higher than that (like about a foot) and stacking up fabric covered cinderblocks under a bed and then jumping on the bed can only end in disaster. And, I don't really want to drag and decorate cinderblocks, so I was wondering if yall had any ideas as to what I can do to make my bed higher without it being too rickety. Anything that will hold the thing up and still look cute will do!
THANKS!
