Ana,
I want to take a minute to thank you for your website and all the free plans. You inspired me to make my first piece of furniture. I made a farmhouse bed using off the shelf lumber. The stain is weathered gray. I used your link to making your own stain (vinegar and steel wool). The bolts are 3/4 inch and are decorative. Also, I notched the posts so they can support the full weight of the rails. Thanks again, I can't wait to start on my next project!

This is a really nice piece. It looks like you bought it, it is so finished. Well done.
