Beautiful job! I love the color. I have memories of being gone for weekends on visits and coming home to a newly decorated "Rainbow Brite" bedroom and my mom assembling a waterbed for me on the kitchen floor (it was the eighties); it felt great to know that my mom was thinking about me while I was gone, your kids will not forget those things.

Gorgeous!
This is gorgeous! I would love to know how wide you made this and if you only had to adjust the headboard and footboard?

I built a similar bed for my niece. I designed the boxes slightly different however. I followed the Twin Farmhouse plan but removed one board from the headboard/footboard panels. This narrows the width to accomodate the storage boxes. http://ana-white.com/2012/03/twinning

twin bed measurements.
Hi! I know this question has been posted before and replied to but, for some reason, I can't see the replies so... would anyone mind maybe sharing their converted measurements for a twin sized bed? Thank so much! This will be our first project and I'm sooo nervous!

Measurements
I made this bed in a twin. The twin mattress is 39x75. That's 21 inches narrower and 5 inches shorter than a queen. So just make the head board, foot board, and slat measurements 21 inches shorter keeping the height the same. The length is five inches shorter but to get three drawer slots the same size I made mine 75 3/4 long. ( 24 1/4 for each drawer slot).
