Love the Stairs!

What did you use on the stairs?  A fuzzy rug?  A fuzzy blanket?  How did you secure it to the stairs?

Stairs

We found a blanket and cut it to fit. It is glued down and stapled underneath.It worked out good besides it is a little slick for her to be wearing here dress up shoes on but she is fine with taking them off.

Stairs

I made the stairs free standing from the rest of the bed and then attached the sides to it. Then cut the side out for the shelves.
Sorry I hope that helps some I didn't make plans for the stairs and doors on the side I just figured it out as I went. I need to start making notes how I do changes and at least draw the plans after I know it works.

closet

Beautiful bed!

Any special tips on creating the closet?

I am going to make this a full size bed, and am thinking I will make the top step extra deep giving me a larger space for the closet. Just wondering if you have any tips on what you did?

Thanks

Dawn

stairs

I want to make drawer stairs with an open shelf. Plans for your stairs would really help since I don't know what I am doing.
