Farmhouse king bed

i love the farmhouse look and decided to start changing the furniture in my bedroom. I went shopping and everything I liked was very expensive. I looked online and found DIY plans on Ana’s website. They were an awesome start. I tweaked a few things and absolutely love the end product.

I decided to buy a metal frame and put the mattress on plywood. It’s as solid as a rock!!

Finish Used

I did one coat of Danish Oil in dark walnut. If you have never used Danish Oil....I highly recommend that you try it. I applied the oil with a foam paint brush and wiped off the excess with an old pillow case. It took about 2 weeks for the smell to lighten up.

The knotty alder is beautiful wood. It sands nice and stains easy.
