Bed-Building Day

I like to lean against the large cushions while in bed, but they take up 10 inches of the bed's length so my toes are unpleasanty close to the end of the mattress when I sleep. So I came up with the obvious solution to put the cushions on a 10 inch shelf behind the bed. But then I realized I could simultaneously solve the problem of no nightstands by extending the shelf and adding lower shelves on each side. Yesterday I designed the unit and purchased the materials. I even fit all the 8 foot boards in the car myself. Today I build. This is what I've accomplished in 4 hours.
