Thanks!
Thanks, you guys. I'm so glad you like it. The loft has been in our house for about three months now, almost four, and she still loves to get cozy up there and read.

Love this idea! It doesn't
Love this idea! It doesn't have to be bed sized. Just a cozy place to read.

Great idea
Wow, that's a really good idea. NEVER would have thought of that myself, but I bet she loves it!

I think it ended up being
I think it ended up being about 30" deep and 40" wide. We built it to fit between the wall and the window. The height is the same as the plan.

great idea:)
My daughters bedroom is upstairs and has a small loft area outside it that overlooks the living room and I had been trying to come up with a way to maximize the space and this is the perfect thing! I had considered the loft bed but the area isn't deep enough, it is long enough but there are windows on the back wall and it would stick out too far. This I can put @ the end opposite the door to her room. I'm just wondering what you are using as the "mattress"?
loft cushion
Well, the "mattress" is a good story. First I went to Hancock Fabrics to get foam to make a mattress. Appalled by the $70 price tag for the foam I'd need, I went to Costco to get a dog bed which I was pretty sure would fit perfectly. Costco had switched to round beds for the summer, so I went home, dejected, and sewed a box cushion out of sheets from Goodwill. I filled it with 1" foam leftover from another project and a bunch of styrofoam shipping peanuts between the two pieces of foam. Not a typical cushion, but it seems to be working fine. :)

Great idea:) I was thinking
Great idea:) I was thinking about a dog bed actually and since I can't sew is probably how I'd go! I do own a sewing machine but I can't even thread the thing let alone sew LOL:)
Reading Nook
PERFECT!
I am was looking for this! I am building my daughter a loft bed and I want it to look as simple as this. Thank you for posting.

reading loft and desk
I recently purchased a wooden twin size bed frame from a Habitat for Humanity store for $25 and repurposed it into a reading window seat for my boys' room. The side and support rails became the sides and legs and the headboard became the seating portion. I'm thinking I may build a drawer and add some casters to add some additional storage space underneath. I still have the footboard leftover. I'm waiting for that "lightbulb over the head" moment to decide what to do with it!
Wow!!
This is fabulous!!
That is an awesome
That is an awesome construction, I also want to build one like that. I'm also thinking about improving it with some
staircase design.
That construction looks
That construction looks really nice I would also like to have one like that. But instead of building it I would better buy it from a distributor.
