Emma's Storage Bed

I built this bed for my daughter as a X-mas gift. The build didn't take long at all to make. I followed the plan pretty close. I did a few things differently, but it turned out much the same. I used sanded plywood instead of the particle board for the headboards and foot boards. I was able to remove the feet that show up at the footboard of the bed by putting a long cleat on the back sides of the storage units that sat about 12 inches back from both ends of the head and foot of the bed. I finished the bed in gloss white latex paint. The finishing of the bed took the longest part, followed by sanding.

The Most difficult part of this bed for me was the hinges. I wish that I would have done them a little differently, but they work. Easy fun project.
