My girls originally wanted a bunk bed but I didn't want to give up the storage that comes with the twin bed (it's an Ikea bed that has a lot of storage underneath the mattress). This loft bed was the perfect solution. I chose not to build a ladder as they use the lower bed and window sill, without any trouble, to get to the top. This was my first build.

I used an off white paint from Behr (called Faux) and then hand distressed it to help disguise the beating it will take over the next few years.
