I used pine to build this bed. I am still going to paint it with some exterior house paint! The lumber and screws came in around $120. I got two cushions on clearance at Target for $20 each. I got a duvet cover on clearance at Bed Bath and Beyond for $20. The paint was $25 for a quart, and I also bought a gallon of primer to use on lots of future projects for about $20. I spent 5 hours sanding, 4 hours cutting, and 5 hours assembling with a friend. Much cheaper and more fun than the $1400 one from Restoration Hardware!
