Princess Bed

Submitted by camcginty on Fri, 03/23/2012 - 20:17

The bed was modified to allow room for a trundle, but decided we didn't want the trundle after all. The extra space does allow for more storage area and our daughter uses a stool since the bed sits up a bit higher. Brackets were added so that the bed could be taken down and moved easily. So glad the brackets were added, they made the bed solid for lots of little girls jumping. Decorative trim and accents were added to dress it up. Pratt & Lambert's Ovation Paint was used. I used a latex base coat and then applied the metallic pearl finish. The metallic finish needed to be sprayed on and ran easily, but what a beautiful finish!

How much clearance did you have to add for the trundle? I am going to make my daughter this daybed and I would like for it to have a trundle beneath. Thanks for your help!
