I loved the look of the Mom's Fancy Farmhouse Bed...but we wanted a footboard. Made this to fit a traditionally sized King mattress (76x80) and it fits perfectly. Left the 3rd 1x6 off the frame of the support and instead connected a footboard which I made exactly like the headboard, but with shorter legs. I also added height to the headboard legs in order to accomodate both our mattress AND box spring. I didn't have room to bolt the headboard or footboard to the frame/support so instead I screwed 3" screwes through the legs into the frame from the footboard, and then screwed the headboard legs directly into the studs/wall in our bedroom. Very sturdy seeming and not wobbly. It worked perfectly for size/look in our new master bedroom. Spent several weekends on this project. Could've finished it faster if you have a full day and an extra set of hands to help move/turn the headboard/footboard as they get heavy once assembled.
