I modified Ana's plans a little for our own needs. The simplified design feels a little more masculine to me and matches my boys' bunk beds a little better, too. I used pine. The 1 x 2's are select pine, not rustic, because that's all our HD had to offer. I wiped the whole thing down in tea, let it dry and then used a rusty vinegar solution as a stain. Gave it a few coats of varnish and voila! Love the final product. Thanks, Ana, for an incredibly empowering and motivating website. :)
