Farmhouse Bed

Submitted by KelleighW on Sun, 04/14/2013 - 05:27

I fell in love with this bed as soon as I found the plans on the web site. It took me a little while to go ahead and build it - I'm the worst procrastinator!! I had to adjust the measurements to suit my Australian size king mattress so I measured and remeasured my mattress and procrastinated some more. The instructions were very easy to follow. I think the hardest thing was deciding on how I was going to finish it. I finally decided the dark stain and I absolutely love it! I added support blocks in the middle of the bed for peace of mind (I was scared that it would collapse) but this baby is sturdy as anything.
