Queen Cassidy Bed

My oldest son grew out of his twin bed and we found the plans for the Cassidy bed and thought it'd be perfect.  He couldn't think of a " theme" for his room so we decided to make the headboard taller to keep from having a "blank wall" to have to decorate.  It turned out great! We used Colonial Maple, American Walnut and English Chestnut stains for the shims & Colonial Maple + Kona for the border.  This was my first time building a queen bed. I am so excited with the way it turned out.  This project was so much easier than I had anticipated.  It took about 3 days for me because we had triple digit weather and that limited the amount of time I could work outside.  I needed help with the final assembly, but other than that, it was a breeze.  Thanks again for the awesome plans!
