Karin Pentiah, 3, relaxes on the daybed custom-made by her dad for her room.Necessity is still the mother of invention.
When Brad and Karenza Pentiah couldn’t find the bed they wanted for their preschool daughter, they designed and made their own.
“It’s a French-inspired day bed made of maple and poplar and painted white,” says Brad. “We couldn’t find what we wanted either in design or quality.
“I wanted to build an armoire because I was looking for storage solutions, but my daughter, Karin, wanted a bed. Karenza wanted the headboard to really make a statement.”
And it does.
