Princess Bed with Stairs and Slide

Made a princess bed for my little peanut. We adapted the idea of the stairs with storage and then added a slide. I hung LED Christmas lights underneath with a foot switch so she has light in her play area.

Please tell me your roof pitch is 12:12 - we are building a house and I have already promised my children to build them both this kind of bed. But I'm fretting that I won't have enough head room - but seeing this picture gives me hope! Our roof pitch is going to be 12:12 and our house is 28 wide, witch will make the upstairs rooms about 20 foot wide I believe at the base of the wall....sorry for rambling....just excited to see your pic. Great job by the way:)

I made another comment but forgot to hit reply. You can see it below this one. But the point at the ceiling-wall intersection you see in the picture is 72". Hope that helps on perspective.

If our pitch isn't 12:12, it's dang close because it's steep on that side. The general layout can be found on Ana's site. I had to modify extensively on height and width to accommodate the room and the play kitchen and the slide. My dimensions are 67" high at the posts, 114" wide from outside slide to outside stairs, and 42" deep. With her mattress on there, she has 8" of railing to make sure she doesn't tumble out. Hope that helps.

If you have other questions, let me know.

Can you post the plans and dimensions for the slide? I love this bed, and I'm planning to start on it for my daughter.

I honestly don't know how to post plans here. My email is trent henderson at hotmail dot com. If you'll email me the request, I'll put it on a PDF or something and send it to you.
