WONDERFUL! You are so amazing. I can't wait to build this for my girls! This is so empowering.

This is SO awesome!!

i LOVE LOVE LOVE this!

Now I know it's possible for my girls to share a room! I'm not big on bunk beds but this is FABULOUS!!

I just did a post on my blog about you and your blog! I am just trying to figure out which plans I should use first.

This looks perfect for us! Son #3 is a tween and he's too old for the top bunk but son #4 is too young for the top bunk. I'm off to measure their room! Thanks Ana!

Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous! I have a plan to tweak this to make a bank of daybeds for the basement!

I was considering building the day beds for two of my girls and was looking at this on the PB website and wondering if I could build it, too. I've never built anything before, but would love to try. I also appreciate you including the complete dimensions. We're moving in a few weeks and I need to go measure to see if beds like this will fit in their bedroom. Love your site!

I remember these beds from when I was a teenager in the 70's. They were so popular & I always wanted one because I shared a room with my sister!

You just made my weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!! Off to Home Depot to have them cut the wood!

Love, love, love your site! I've never built anything that wasn't from IKEA, but I'm taking this on! Thank you!

Perfect!

Sadly, the room is too small. I'm wondering if we could just, y'know, move a wall? Do you think my husband would notice? Or the neighbors?

P.S. Are those twin beds the same as the Stratton Daybed plans or the new full-sized daybed you posted earlier done in twin size? I'd love the new plans for a twin size mattress.

Okay, back again... how hard would it be to add hinges to the top portion so that the top opened and the inside could be used for storage?

You could very easily ad hinges to the "secret compartment." Just get Full Overlay Euro Style Hinges like these http://www.lowes.com/pd_67157-89973-P6992-C_0_?newSearch=true&catalogId…

Incredible!!!

Ok Anna, picture this. I have twin beds set up like this in my girls room right now. (Though I totally need to make the top storage section.) The other cool part about my girls beds though, is that the table is made so that you can actually slide one bed into the open section of the table and then there's only a half bed out. You can use it as a seating area if you don't need the bed. It's really cool. I'll take pics if you want them.

I love it.

You are amazing.

I love making things using your plans. Everyone thinks I'm so talented, buts all you.

Yay!!! Just what I wanted!!!

I adore you.

As crazy as it is, nothing makes me want to have kids more than this blog. I SOOOOO want to build all your adorable kid stuff...so you have to keep this thing going until I have kids to build toy chests and sandboxes and twin beds for. Deal?

This is almost exactly what I'm looking for in a couch for the living room! I'd just shorten one of the 'bed' sections to be only one storage box long, and magically there are two coveted 'corner' seats. To make a back for the couch, would it be reasonable to make a simple upholstered headboard, attach it, and toss in some throw pillows? Or should I make something more structural, like the backs of the Simple Outdoor Sectional?

I love it Ana! I might try to modify the hutch thing to put at the end of my storage daybed, if I ever finish it, lol. This looks much easier than the storage daybed. I wish I had waited. JK, I love them both. Do you think you will add plans for the piece that goes on top of the hutch, like in the PBT picture?

You know what? I just saw this same set up on Craig's List / Nashville ! Guess how much? $1000.00 ! And YOURS looks better!! I just love your site. Our computer is at the top of the stairs in our bonus room - DH says (as he's walking up the stairs) "You're not lookin at that ANA site are you???" Our "to make" list is getting longer, and longer, and longer!!

Any suggestions for a room where there is only 99" in one direction ??

I'm at a loss as to how to make my boys room a little more functional.

[...] don’t mind sleeping on our futon on the floor (in fact, I do enjoy it quite a bit), but with beds like these, I think even my wife wouldn’t object to build one or two of them. Poetry creates artificial [...]

This is amazing!!! I'm thinking this would work and look fabulous in my 2 youngest kids room!!! I'm inspired... THANKS ANA

I just wanted to thank you for this. I've been trying to come up with something for our guest room/craft room. If I can tweak this a bit to fit 12x12 scrapbook albums in the cubes one of these will be perfect!! It's almost exactly what the picture in my head looked like but yours has plans LOL

I googled "Daybed" and found this. It's perfect for the spare room. Thank You!

I ran into the same problem. What I did was made the two beds first. Then I made the hutch a little different. I widened the hutch in both ways to ensure it was still square. But I left the bottom horizontal support off the hutch frame allowing one of the beds to slide into the hutch. I didn't allow the bed to slide all the way to the back but it still looks like it is going to work out really nice. Only two other things to consider first you can not use the cutting directions from this website for the middle hutch or anything else you build on top of it. Secondly, you will probably need another piece of 1/4" plywood to finish the inside of the hutch where the bed slides into. Hope this helps. If you have any more questions let me know.

Where to buy the foam Matresses or do you make them or order them? Im in Mesquite,TX  if you know of a placew in my area please let me know thanks!

Hi Ana, I just found your site last night while looking for a way to redesign my girls bedroom. However, I have been going around and round in circles on the site hunting for the plans for the two twin beds with the corner piece. I keep being redirected and the ending up on a page that says the file no longer exsists. Is there any way you could email me the pdf version of the plans? The only copy I can seem to get is the top Corner Unit for the Twin Storage Bed. So if at all possible I'd like to get the plans for the two twin beds and the bottom corner piece. I showed the girls a picture awhile ago and they are super excited, so I'm really hoping I didn't just get myself into hot water by not being able to get a copy of the plans! lol

I really love these plans and want to build the beds for my boys. I don't see the dimensions or cut list for the bottom part of the corner unit. Like the person above, all I see are the plans for the hutch. Am I overlooking something? I would love the info if possible! Thanks!

Hi
I have found your site recently and love it! I've been working on a design using your twin/full storage bed plans, however, my set up is just like this - the beds both need to be backed up against the wall so no way to access the "back" storage cubes. THESE beds are the ones I want to build, where it appears that storage does the entire width of the bed (front to back). I have some ideas of how to make this work but keep finding roadblocks. Any chance there are designs for Teresa's apple green style storage beds?

p.s.I don't know how you find the time to do all this work AND post the designs AND reply to all these comments but I sure am glad you do!!
thanks!

Hi everyone- Teresa here. Just letting you know that the Storage Daybed is the plan I used. It was my first woodworking project Ever! If I can build it so can you. It looks so seamless because I used long pieces of trim to cover all the joints so it looks like a single box. I did put the divider piece in the middle of the boxes- it really needs it for the support- especially if your kids are like mine and use it as a dance stage every once in a while. Hope that helps- but if you want to ask specific questions you can email me- teresa at pomeranch.com

I am new to your site and just love these beds but can not find the plans for the beds themselves can you help me out ty

I am probably missing something, but I cannot seem to find the plans for the actual corner unit base. It seems like these plans are for the hutch that goes on top. I know I'll be busy building the actual storage day beds for now, but I would LOVE to have the plans for the corner unit. Could someone point me in the right direction? Thank you so much, and I am loving this site-- really growing the "to make" list.

Guest - I think this is the link you are looking for (the bottom part?). :)

Where can we get the plans to build this bed? I have looked all over the web site but haven't found them. Thanks so much!

where can you get the plans to build the corner beds dont know where to find them Can you please email me the plans I had the older model couch bed for my daughter for their room now I would like to make a set for my grandchildren when they come to stay with us. but also make it look like a den too. Thank you Lenae

I too would like the plans.. the pdf link is definitely broken.. I keep getting an error message.

I can't find the plans for the beds anymore....I want to make them and add backs to use as seating on our screened in porch. Can someone help! thanks!!!!

I have been to 2 Home Depot and 1 lowes and can't fine pine that would make this project anywhere near the price people are saying it would cost. Is everyone using white wood and just calling it pine? The 1x12x8 are $35 alone! Please specify the type of wood that is being used because if it is pine I might as well order the beds from pb teen and save myself the time and energy it would take to make these. Thank you in advance!

Hi Namsiuh,  

Whitewood boards are just fine for this project.  Our Lowes calls them Whitewood, and our Home Depot calls them Common Boards.  You don't need to spend extra for the clear pine (our stores call these select pine or radiata pine boards) especially if you are painting or if you are doing a rustic looking piece (where the knots would look cool in that case).  The 2x2's referred to in most plans are furring strips.   In the majority of the plans when it calls for a 1x it's whitewood, or anything 2x it's stud grade lumber.  You have to pick through them more to get a pretty board but they are much cheaper.  You may also find nicer lumber (at a better price) if you have a local lumberyard.  We don't have one where I live, but I wish we did!  Happy Building1

I was thinking that since my teen has her own room, I could change up the 2nd bed into more of a couch? Any suggestions on how to cushion it and hold those cushions on?
