My design wall is made from a buck board we don't use with our bed anymore. We have a pedestal bed, with drawers underneath, and if we used the buck board, the box spring and the mattress, we would be sleeping right up next to the ceiling! :shock: For those of you who don't know what a buck board is--it's the board that goes in between the box spring and the mattress. We have an oversized queen. The box spring is regular queen sized, and the buck board is the same size as the mattress and sits on top of the box spring. Anyway, after that long explanation, we took the buck board and covered it with flannel. We have it leaning against the wall in the basement right outside my sewing room. It is the same size as the mattress top, and works great! I love it when I can repurpose something like that!
