It was time for my son to move to a big bed. So he got his sister's bed and she got a new loft bed. From the pictures on your website, she just loved this bed. I was able to throw it together and get it painted in a weekend and she was sleeping in it by Monday night. I added the rails because we weren't able to set it in a corner, and now that it is Xmas time we strung lights on them. We painted it white. For the mattress support I used 3/4" slats of MDF and used left over paint from her walls to paint the exposed side. Over all it was a pretty simple project, gives her more room and my daughter loves it.
