Pottery Barn inspired toddler bed, made with reclaimed lumber from our home reno. The wainscoting is real (not mdf), $2 from the HD cull lumber rack. It had a damaged piece, but the remaining part of the board sufficed for this small project. Screws are countersunk.
The curve is elliptical (drawn with loop of string and two nails for foci, transferred to board and cut with jigsaw)
The construction is lighter than the original plan, using what was at hand and for a young toddler.
