After a normal day of buying grocery on Saturday, I came back and stored my grocery in my fridge and tidy up around my kitchen around. I am quite tired cause did not sleep well past 2 nights. Then, I found 8 empty milk carts in a cupboard in the kitchen and no one actually use it for anything. Thinking of it, something flashed through my mind. These milk cart would be useful in my room, but not for STORAGE.
You might not even know it if you come to my room. Here is how I work it: ~~
First of all, anything come into my room must be clean. Hygiene custom check! I cleaned up every single of the milk cart and arranged it properly in a pattern of 2 by 4 matrix arrangement, with the carts all upside down.
Then I put my first layer of spring mattress on top of it.
Then, I used a big clean cloth and lay over the mattress and the carts properly. (I bet you see what I am trying to do now.) Then I put a thin layer of sponge mattress as the second layer with a bed sheet. Sleeping on the spring-bed mattress is very uncomfortable cause most of the springs are very strong and you would feel bulky and hard when you lay on it. (But good for very very heavy people. :P) The second layer of mattress countered this problem.First of all, anything come into my room must be clean. Hygiene custom check!

Then finally, put the bed sheet and pillow (or what ever you like on top of your bed).
WALLA!!! A normal comfortable bed with “bed frame”. Cant tell from the look the frame is made out from milk carts, right?
I’m sure some of you who read this would be having three lines at your forehead. (-_-)lll
I believed this will be very useful (or maybe not. :P) who wish to save money for study and don’t wish to spend too much on bed furniture. (It’s not that I’m very very poor!! I am working and have income! But sometime try to be extraordinary. :P). My bed used to be like the Japanese style, lying on the floor. But for some people, they would like to have a bed with a frame. Maybe one of the reason is they can roll over and wake up easily from a bed with frame, instead of pushing their heavy sleepy body from the bed on the floor, against gravity. (I’m the only one in the house who don’t have a bed frame. Poor me!! Hehe..) Sometime it is quite cold to sleep on the floor too.
Think of it, it is FREE “bed frame”, can get it from anywhere near supermarket (outside you may find second bed frame AUD 10 to AUD20. Save that for karaoke, bubble tea, or kolo mee at Northbridge, Perth), help to save environment and you can wake up easily. You can easily change your bed frame size to queen or king size if you want, just add a few more carts. And the most important thing, it is as strong as normal frame (although no testing authority in the world approved it la…). It will definitely hold you well, even with your “partner”, or do anything you like on bed.
So give it a try then!!
P/s: This innovation is inspired by one of my friend in Perth from Kuching. I would like to acknowledge Edmund Goh who has came a lot funny weird things which is pretty much practical in life. Good work Edmund!! Ahahaha.. Engineers Rule!!
