This project was for our 4 year old daughter. We wanted to get her a loft bed, but I wanted to make sure the rails were really tall so she didn't fall out. So, I took some inspirtation from loft beds on this website as well as looking at pictures of beds you can buy. I also added the drawers within the stairs because I wanted to utilize the storage potential. That was the most difficult part as I'm not particularly experienced in making and installing drawers. Off to YouTube tutorials I went and it turned out quite nice. I had to build it in three different parts to get it in her room. It's the actual bed portion, the stairs, and the side wall. Once I got it together, I left the screws showing that I connected it with, which I hate, but when we have to move it out of there, I didn't want to go through a ton of trouble. I used Kreg pocket holes for all of the vertical bed slats which caused a ton of work plugging the holes, cutting off the excess, sanding, and then sanding again and again. But, it was well worth it. We have made her a cozy little nook underneath the bed and added a light since these pictures. Overall, it was a fun project

No, thank YOU...
I'd been wondering on how to attack the covering of my desk with fabric. I'd toyed with the idea of Modge Podge but was not quite sure on its adhering capabilities. Around here, it gets so humid that the adhesive on my 3D Command strips melts and things fall off the walls. How has it held up thus far? I'm attempting to cover mine in upholstery fabric.
