My daughter wanted to have a bed that she could consider her own. She always wanted a loft bed and that way still have room to do her art and a place to do her homework. While the camp bed was great I had to modify the plans in order to not only have it fit in her room, but also have enough space for her to sit at her desk underneath it.
This was my first major project, and it will always be a special one because it is my daughter's bed. She loves sleeping on her bed, and when her friends come over to visit they make sure to compliment her on it!! I'm very proud of it, and hopefully it will serve her when she goes to college, as I assembled it in such a way that it is modular to put together and take apart.
