Made the bed using the Queen Farmhouse bed plans as a guide.
Wanted to include my box spring so modified the frame so the bed sits inside the frame. Also had to increase the height of the head and footboard to accommodate the additional height of the box spring.
Added middle legs to the frame, somewhat for support but mainly to make the connect to the head and footboard easier (since I was doing it myself).
Used leftover prefinished fooring for the paneling. Like the contrast with the white, plus really ties it in with the room. Bed came out really well, wasn't sure since I've never used plans from this site before but can now say, will be doing so in the future. Next up, matching farmhouse mini nightstand!

Beautiful Finish
Love the finish that you used on this. I've been wanting to give chalk paint a try. May have to do that on my next project.

Gorgeous! This project is on
Gorgeous! This project is on my to-do list but I've got a couple other things that must be done first. And I can't do anything until our weather warms up into positive numbers since my workshop isn't heated or insulated. I hope mine turns out looking as good as yours does.
