Dan and I don't have a real bed - and I want one. Me me me! Gimme gimme gimme! My problems are so serious. I'm like a character from It's Complicated. Anyway, I checked out options on my last IKEA trip, but nothing there really spoke to me (also nothing would fit in the car). After some internet sleuthing, I began to think I could make one. Well, not a whole bed. But a headboard. I could do that.
The relentlessly chipper John and Sherry of YoungHouseLove made one out of a wooden art frame, usually meant for canvas:
Looks nice and sounds easy, but we want something to lean against. This is a little flimsy for our purposes.
Then I found this one on Design*Sponge.
Holy. Crap.
The writer made that! By herself! There's a how-to video and everything. PLUS, her cat looks just like Bianca. SOLD. DONE. DOING IT.
I am not yet sure where I will obtain the necessary large piece of wood, craftsman to cut said wood, swaths of fabric, or two-inch upholstery foam. But it's going to happen. Probably just in time for us to move.
