About This Project

A few months back a friend of my Sister asked if I would build a bed for her 10 year old daughter. I was excited to do it! So I finished up the projects I had already started and then went to work. I had never built bookshelves before. I wanted it clean and "hole-less" on the outside, so we found a Kreg Jig and I started learning. SUPER easy!! I believe it has been painted white. I can't wait to go see it!!
I followed Ana's plans except I used 2*2s for slats and used 16" wide boards for one of the bookshelves and the desk top. I want them to be able to use this for years to come and not out-grow it too quickly.

Loft bed with 16" deep desk and small book cases.

Where did you get 16" wide boards? We're thinking of making the same loft with the 16" desk and 16" small book cases. I was planning on using plywood.

hello just a quick question

hello just a quick question about the railing. Is it screwed on or is it just sitting over the wood? Very nice bed.
