About This Project

This is inspired by pieces I've seen here, though I sketched it out on paper myself to make sure it would suit the limited space in our room. I built the simple piece to match our bed (made from Ana and her reader's plans, see my photos below).

Originally, I planned to include cabinet doors, but with the limited space we have, this is better for us.

For nightstands, I stained plain wooden crates I had in the basement. Still working on how to hide the cords.

The baskets under my bed are from Bed Bath Beyond. The baskets in the "dresser" are from Target.

Sorry about the poor photo quality.

Built from leftover materials (Baskets $5.99 each)

Afternoon Project (3-6 Hours)
Required Skill Level: 
Beginner
Type of Wood: 
pine, plywood, and furring strips
Finish Used: 
Minwax Provincial (one coat) and one Minwax water-based poly coat.

Sigh.

I was trying to show that these pieces are a set, but instead the photos look pretty random.

Don't fret -

I see that they all go together, and they look great! I'm especially loving that dresser, it is beautiful.

I love the bed. Do you have plans for it?

Plans

Sorry I haven't logged in in so long--the bed follows plans for the king Stratton, combined with the reclaimed wood headboard. The headboard is attached to the wall. We can slide the foot bench part out to hide presents behind, which is really handy (though heavy) to do.
