This was my first build! I combined 2 of Ana White's plans, the King size Farmhouse bed with the Queen size storage bed, I didn't do drawers as the cubbies worked better. So this was a nice merge of two of the plans! LOVE LOVE LOVE our bed, and the 2 tone stain/paint combo.

Fantastic!!!
My wife asked me to find a bed idea for our little girls room. She said she wanted her to have a bed with storage. Well I think I found the bed I am going to build her. Now the fun part making it into a twin size! I like it so much I am going to build one for us in our bedroom. Again I love it great job!!!

thank you!
Let me know if you have any questions modifying the plans :) I think if you start from the queen storage one and modify that, you'll get it right for twin size :) such a sense of accomplishment when it's done!

Cost?
Was just curious if you actually spent $750 building this or if that was a typo? Would really like to build this same bed with the except of using drawers. Nice work!
