Outdoor Daybed with Canopy turned indoor bed with custom trundle...

The daughter was whining (since that's what teenagers do) for a new bed(room) and a daybed was a requirement. After searching for the perfect one, we couldn't find one that worked with MY budget! When I came across these plans, I was thrilled (especially after I took a few minutes to calculate the cost)! Needless to say, I made some alterations to 1) the mattress height to accommodate the 2) trundle unit I designed. A custom ordered bedskirt (not shown) provided the perfect camouflage for the trundle and the chandelier (not shown) suspended between the center of the top rails added the perfect French touch for my daughter's dream "Paris themed" room! Thanks for the great site, can't believe I have never thought to make one myself, lol!

Estimated Cost
Around $300
Estimated Time Investment
Week Long Project (20 Hours or More)
Finish Used
After ample sanding, filling, and more sanding, the bed was stained with "Ebony" by Min-wax with 2 solid clear coats on top.
