Modern Platform Bedframe: Teenage Perfection
![](/sites/default/files/20200724_170333_1.jpg)
The second furniture building project I've ever made. It was super fun to make, though I probably spent half my time making sure ever corner was square!
I used 2 x 8's for a bit of extra depth (my daughter has a deep mattress) but other than that I followed the plan, even down to the 6" hairpin legs.
My daughter wanted a really simple headboard so I added a Chevron-style headboard from https://vintagerevivals.com/70-diy-slatted-headboard. As an upcycle, I used the wooden slats from a bedframe we were getting rid of and it worked perfectly.
Fantastic project and happy teen!!

I rubbed it on with a wet rag and used a bit of water to thin it out to create a beachy look.
