Instead of rounding the tops of the headboard and footboard, I simply put a 1x2 board over the top for a more modern look. Instead of cutting out the handle for the drawer, I added a pull. This is actually the second one of these I've built. The first, I followed the plan, but this one was for my daughter's best friend, so I made her one that is the "same" yet different. I love it. Goes together quickly and always is sturdy and so nice. It's a great size for baby dolls.
I only needed to purchase the 1x12 and the 1x6. The rest was made of scraps I had on hand from other projects. Even the paint was from a previous project, and the mattress was made from a remnant.
