My niece is here for the summer! We needed a guest bed fast, that didn't take up an entire room! She chose this day bed!
Her bed is in the computer room, so there isn't enough room for a twin size bed. I modified the plans to fit a standard crib mattress. Now, when she isn't using the day bed, it doubles as a lounging spot to read. It is soooo cute!
For the storage baskets, I cut shipping boxes to size and mod podged fabric to them, and added some cute little knobs.

measurements/advice?
I'm wanting to do this exact same thing with a crib mattress. Could you provide the adjusted measurements you used?
