Leather Houses 101.05 Positions within a Leather House6 viewsWhat positions exist within a leather house? They vary but often the head of a house will be the Head Master or Head Mistress or Head of the Household, a lady or sir of the house, butler, maid, house cook, bladesmith, armorer, majordomo or master at arms, dungeon master, wax attendant, the list is long and varied and depends upon valued functions within each house. Positions often are appointed, but house members can also petition for a position. I personally prefer petitions.

Leather Houses 101.10d Building a Lifestyle Bed side view bedrail6 viewsBuilding a Lifestyle Bed
Visualize the bottom bent over face down on the mattress. Top entry is from behind. Or visualize the bottom laying on the bed with legs off the side spread eagle and feet resting on the bedrail. Top is standing erect and tall as the magical measurement of boot to root subtracted from floor to sweet spot was where the iron bedrails holding the mattress are mounted. This brings up your mattress and foundation when the submissive is laying or bent across the bed to the root of either cock or strapon. It ensures leverage against the G-spot when playing with a female that's laying on the bed. Read my two writings regarding Building a Lifestyle Bed and the Magical Measurement

What size bed are you used to sleeping in, what size sheets and blankets do you currently own, and sometimes how tall or husky you are. But the psychology behind the closeness and safety we felt as an infant in a crib, can be transferred into our sleep experiences as an adult. What is this additional factor to consider as you decide what size bed to build?

Leather Houses 101.10a Building a Lifestyle Bed hd ft board4 viewsBuilding a Lifestyle Bed
This is a current picture of the bed. Put your pretend caps on and visualize that originally the top rail was a 2x6 on all 4 sides of 8' 4x4 corner posts and formed a canopy rail all the way around the top. The canopy rail was removed and the head board and foot board cut down to a more normal size when we moved to Florida. The bedroom has a ceiling fan that would not accommodate a canopy rail. A close look at the footboard will reveal holes where the St. Andrew's Cross was originally bolted. It is still a grand bed and forms many lifestyle functions. It is however, not as dramatic as when it had a canopy rail and St. Andrew's Cross incorporated into the footboard.

Footboard: 4x4 corner posts, 2x8 box spring and mattress rails, 2x6 top rail that originally formed a canopy rail when the bed originally had 8' corner posts. Hardware represented are 1/2" lag screws counter sunk. Notice I didn't take the time to stain the counter sunk holes. That would give it a more finished look, but one could argue that leaving the counter sunk holes unstained gives it some character. Notice the blacklight mounted on the top rail of the headboard.

Leather Houses 101.14 Ladderback HdBd FtBd4 viewsLet your play emphasis influence your footboard design. In vanilla bed design the headboard is to focal point. In designing a lifestyle bed, the footboard is the focal point and a favorite style of play should influence it. If you like rope and bondage a design that will compliment that style of play is preferred over a style that would compliment impact play. A simple ladderback provides multiple attachment points and opportunities for single post ties. The footboard is heavy enough to support most suspensions.
