This was by far the most epic undertaking. I wanted one of these:

But they are very, very expensive. Like $10,000 expensive.
So, I got at $199 dressing screen:

Then I unscrewed all the four panels and sawed two of them in half. Meanwhile, I bought the cheapest, plainest
bedframe in the world for $70 and painted that with a cherry-colored wood
varnish to match the screens. After that I had to nail, screw, and glue the panels into place. I also got some
cheapie wood trim at Home Depot for the cross beams and
varnished those as well.


Added some curtains from World Market for $36.
Total cost: $300 which is, oh, about $9,700 less than $10,000.
