\"Sea<\/a>Artists are driven by a desire to be unique; to create and bring to life a reflection of their individuality. Commissioned artists derive their inspiration from a set of requirements defined by the client. Artisans received a call from Nancy Glass Productions regarding a commission for a reality TV show based on fish tanks; specifically a project based on the children\u2019s story \u201cThe Maggie B.\u201d<\/p>\n

Our first thoughts were, \u201cOk you want a stand for a fish tank right?\u201d Well, no \u2026 Lindsay Bonsall, one of the show\u2019s producers explained that a child would be laying in a bed positioned under a fish tank anchored about five feet off the floor and configured to look like the side of a boat. She then added that this fish tank manifestation of the THE MAGGIE B. boasts a magical portal; this is an acrylic bottom boat!<\/p>\n

It took a little imagination to visualize exactly what Lindsay was describing, but we caught on. Design a child\u2019s bed that provides comfort, storage, function, and package it with a nautical theme. We decided to go with a sea chest, one that converts into a bunk to enjoy and fantasize about adventures at sea. We\u2019re going to leave out the details of the recipient of this amazing creation; you\u2019ll have to watch the show for the rest of that story.\"Sea<\/a><\/p>\n

So, our solid cherry \u201cSea Chest Bed\u201d houses four drawers, a mattress, storage space for planks to convert to a table, and a custom ladder for easy access to the bunk. The piece rests on four locking casters to allow easy positioning.<\/p>\n

We passed the fabric material to Richard and Randy Brown of Brown\u2019s Upholstery to create a custom made mattress and bedding.<\/p>\n
