         15 . The method as defined in  claim 14  wherein said frame has opposed elongated sides and said storage drawer is extended into said foundation from one of said elongated sides.  
     
     
         16 . The method as defined in  claim 11  further including the step of extending a further storage drawer into said foundation from the opposite one of said elongated sides.  
     
     
         17 . The method as defined in  claim 11  wherein said bed frame is formed by a planar assemblage of support members, further including the step of positioning said bed frame above a floor.  
     
     
         18 . The method as defined in  claim 1   1  further including the step of extending a plurality of storage drawers into said foundation from one of said elongated sides.  
     
     
         19 . The method as defined in  claim 11  further including the step of extending a plurality of storage drawers into said foundation from the opposite one of said elongated sides.
