I've built a very simple craftsman style bed. See picture. I was thinking of trying to incorporate the wider post and top cross piece into the design of the dresser. Making the front side pieces a little wider and thicker than normal and having a wider top cross piece extend beyond the sides to mimic the cross piece on the bed.
I feel like I am forcing this into the design and it really won't look well and it creates some internal design challenges in the dress by doing so.
Thoughts.
