This is the queen size version of the farmhouse bed with a natural finish. The plans were modified somewhat to account for the use of a box spring. The actual construction probably took less than a day of total project time, but the sanding, staining, and finishing were quite lengthy. My husband and I used both an electric sander and also sanded by hand. There are two layers of natural stain and three layers of polycrylic (with sanding in between each layer of the polycrylic). It turned out beautiful! Ana, thank you for the inspiration!
