It's Friday! - 2017 and beyond!

I think that I saw it today lined up in a row with several others. There were two 21s with red graphics side-by-side.

I notice that you got the front window, so did I. I like being able to look out, especially in the direction of my tow vehicle without going outside at night.

Looks like you asked for no graphic on the front window. I'm not crazy about them but it might grow on me. Otherwise, I have a hot air gun.

jumboscott,

What was your fabric choice? Looks good.

my 21 has the front window, and frankly, I never use it. I wish it had the night shelf instead. as it is, I have nowhere to put my glasses and bedtime book, and water bottle.

We love the look of the front window, but because of a need to sleep sitting all the way up in bed, we couldn’t choose it and had to omit the standard ETI shelf. Don’t know if our over bed shelf would work with the window there, but it might since it is attached to the overhead cabinet and not the sidewalls.

Pete constructed ours to hold our glasses, some books, our kindles (we hid cord wires so we can charge them there too) drink holders and etc. 🙂

So happy for you, enjoy every moment

Hey John, Perhaps you could take a stud finder and see if you can locate the 'studs' or wooden posts behind the wall next to your bed?? If so, you might be able to find some wall shelves that you could screw into those posts for a wall shelf? I had that wall reinforced so I could screw in a shelf, for my books and glasses, and it works great. I had this shelf up in my attic for years - finally found use for it again.

If you can locate the structural posts in the wall, and find a shelf, then I bet ETI could confirm the depth of the posts so you know what screw length to use, or others on this forum might know? For shelves, I think The Container Store or Ikea might have something that could work with varying wall support locations. For my water bottle I use a car wedge cupholder on the side and shove a small towel in the corner to keep it steady.

Nrgtic4, love your over head shelf. Very nice and organized!
jumboscott, congrats!! Looks beautiful... You're gonna love it!! -Bea

Nice shelf there Bea, I notice you have a lot of space along the wall next to the mattress, is that a stock mattress or smaller?

Bea,
Your shelf and art by the bed looks great! Good idea to wedge a cup holder there!

Hi Jim, We have the stock mattress...didn't even think to ask for anything else! However, I do see why some people ask for a narrower mattress. It's a tight fit, for sure, but we don't mind. I think the picture is a little deceptive; it looks like there's more space than there is...maybe because we use big fluffy sleeping bags under the quilt?

Speaking of the bed, thank you to whoever it was on this forum that recommended the vented mattress pad that we use. We give it a : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Super easy to trim the bottom right corner with a pair of scissors and very comfortable!

Nrgtic4, Thank you but I can't take credit for that cupholder either....must thank whoever here came up with this one, too! -Bea

do you put that between the mattress and a mattress cover? when we tried a topper that way, we found it slid off the mattress over the course of a couple nights and it was a constant fight to keep it aligned.

I would love the solution to the topper sliding down every three nights also. I do not want to give it up but wish it would stay put.

Hi John and jkavanagh, No slippage for us - here’s our method, not sure why it works...just lucky, no doubt!

First, I put a fitted sheet, (full XL) over the mattress. Then the foam topper, then a fitted mattress cover, then a fitted bottom sheet. I like the jersey knit type of sheets since they are stretchy - not sure if these type of sheets make a difference or not. Hope this helps! -Bea

Production must have slowed down or something, no new picture posts since early September?

How did your build go? It took me forever to find your post, why was it moved to the middle of someone else's build post just to get lost in one huge post? So strange.
