Recent project completed and delivered. We spoiled our oldest daughter with an upholstered headboard and platform bed.
(https://forum.upholster.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1312.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Ft522%2Frecover3%2FP1010006_zpsdfc6cc1e.jpg&hash=7d86325582d85aaf9db87d6a8eb094b4)
The headboard profile is thickest at the smocked pattern point and tapers towards the 3 outer corded edges. Hidden from view is a bottom row of six spaced buttons on the headboard. One unplanned happening relates to the fabric repeat being similar to the smocking pattern . . . another are the leg contours (Mr. H's improvisation) as a tapered leg cut was requested.
AND the biggest issue overall was when it came time to load the platform frame . . . found out the staircase angle in our quad-level home was too short (by about 1/2")!!! Good thing they used 5/8" drywall at the ceiling corner point . . . bit of a repair will be required though :) Decision made: any future builds done in the garage!
Good job Lo. Nice details.
