Well we just bought a new house and the bedroom was a bit smaller and lower ceilings for two beds. One daughter had a queen and my other daughter was begging for a new loft bed. Well I searched for plans on many different bunk beds and I came to the conclusion that creating one from two different plans would save the most space. So I made the platform bed and the loft bed separately and added dowels to attach them . The girls were ecstatic. It turned out beautifully!

This is my first bed turned out great had alot of challenges though my cordless drill died couldn't find my charger for it so I had to use a corded drill. Then I got a cordless with two fully charged batteries and the batteries drained quickly. One battery died on the first screw...man I was mad had to go back to my antique drill. So this took me a few hours longer than needed ... I think I put in maybe 15 hours into this.
