This bed is made specially for a little girl with a doll named Julie, hence the J :)
I would like to say it only took me a few hours, but in reality it took me a week. Mainly because I sand in 3 stages (coarse, medium, fine) and wait overnight between coats of paint and work on multiple projects at the same time. Still a very easy project! (except for the sewing, I'm no seamstress ;))
I used select pine for 1x2's and 1x3's, but I think furring strips are much better because of the rounded edges. Also 2x2's were not select pine and they didn't quite match up with the other boards.
