This was a project I took on for my two daughters (5 and 2). I was pretty intense as I used the castle loft bed as my starting point. The drawbridge is fully functional, but I had to remove the black ropes as my kids were running around and tripping (safety hazard). I made the top large enough to house two small mattresses for the kids to sleep on. I made use of the space under the stairs and the slide by cutting out doors. This is a very large structure and is modular (front, towers (2x), stairs, slide, platform). They are all joined with some significant lag bolts and is sturdy enough to have my wife and I and both children up top. I have also mounted LED lights under the platform wired to a switch so that they can see at night. Overall, it has been a hit for my daughters and their friends. Thanks for the plans!

Antiqued the body by sanding on edges, and applying a walnut stain lightly

What changes did you make from the plans?
could you possibly give me a rundown of what specific changed you made, what extra material I would need, ect. I'm wanting to build the princess bed- but I'm a little ocd and would much appreciate the symmetry of two identical towers. thanks if you can help.
