gortota: i haven't actually done this yet. i just thought of it while trying to simulate the look of the (most likely) custom bed. so, still trying to figure this one out. my dh is very handy and thinks we can make it work without having to attach anything to the wall, but i thought of another idea:
if we can find a full size bed with head board and foot board of the same height we can easily cut a longer piece of wood on a jigsaw and upholster that to match (or not) or if the head board and foot board are wood, leave as is.

so, sorry... while i think this is a good idea i haven't put it into practice yet. i will post as soon as we figure it out and actually execute. we're in the middle of a new house build so i'm a little preoccupied with finding a floor mount tub filler. thanks for the interest!

if you order an upholstered wing backed headboard in a king, you can use a full size mattress turned lengthwise. a king mattress measures 76" wide, while a full size mattress measures 75" long. i love this idea because my daughter's room is 13' square and she can gain more play space in the front portion of the room since the bed will only stick out 4.5'.
