For a while now my mattress at my apartment has been on the floor. I had an older/vintage bed frame but it was extremely squeaky. I don't mind it being on the floor at all. I recently realized that if my bed was raised off the floor someway I would have some extra storage space. Other than the obvious way of buying a frame (which would mean I would also have to buy a box spring) how do you go about raising a bed??? For starters I googled "creative ways to make a bed frame" :) and this is what I got......

Wooden Pallets!

They're cheap or completely free!

And totally awesome!

I realize everyone may not think the same way but you at least have to admit it's a neat idea! If they were all turned the same as the one on the bottom you could easily slide magazines and books in the openings. I might could even find flat wicker baskets or small trays to slide in and out to keep things stored in.

I am in a crunch for time today but I promise more on this tomorrow! Have a wonderful day! :)
