Farmhouse bed with storage! Carved, bowed and beautiful!

I built the Farmhouse bed with storage but departed from Ana's design a bit. I built the legs from 4" red oak, the boxes are painted plywood. The crowns on the head and footboard are also red oak. I have a Carvewright and used it to detail the bed pretty thoroughly...and topped it off with a temperpedic mattress. ROCK solid and looks great! Also, put LED lights behind the headboard insert that shines around its sides.

All in, great project, took me around 3 months to complete!
