Yeah I’ve tried scrubbing in baking soda and scrubbing in vinegar. I’ve left in open containers of both at different points. It helps but then the smell comes back after a while.
Another option is leaving it open on its side in direct sunlight but I’d have to haul it down the stairs again so I’ve put that off. I only did that a short time right after painting it on the back porch in the first place to originally air it out. Now it the time of year to try it again though.
I’ve also sprayed linen spray into it and left it closed so that the new nice smell soaks in which also works for a while.
We got a king, our friends had all been on our asses these last two years to replace our beat up old full size Ikea bed with something big enough for our new bedroom.
I really wanted something from Haunt but the shipping from Australia was too much trouble and limited to New York or LA then you need to ship from there. No place in the states had that kind of specialty goth stuff. I would have gotten the Nymph bed from there if I could.
Then I remembered that kink beds often have bars at the top like canopy beds. We got this from a place in San Francisco called Dungeonbeds. That’s why the weight is so crazy ridiculous and it took so much help putting together.
Most canopy beds we saw elsewhere didn’t have enough clearance for the stuff I was storing under the old bed. This one was a platform instead of a box spring.
After alot of searching this was our Goldilocks bed except we should have properly measured our stairwell and got the deconstructed option in the first place.
By far the fanciest bit of furniture we’ve ever gotten.
It took literally decades - two, I think - for me to finish this. Or maybe 1.5 And all I hadda do was color it, LOL! Bill Bryan (look him up!) did everything else.
