My girls each had their own room that they never used! So, dad decided to combine their rooms which gave us an office. They have since spent more time in there then anywhere in the house but it was a mess! 2 beds in a tiny room was not working! So I made dad make this bed, and it is AMAZING! It has made my life so much easier getting them ready in the morning, not tripping around beds, and they spend time in it, and take pride in keeping it clean!!
We added about 6 inches, making it normal bunk bed height, but didn't change anything else. No finish yet, because I love the look and haven't decided what to do. We also, did not use a kreg jig. Hubby just drilled in sideways, and it worked fine.

It's good to know I'm not the only one who likes the knots and swirls and different shades in the pine boards! The last time I was at the lumberyard, when I told the lumberyard-guy that I was building furniture he tried to direct me to the clear pine. I had to explain to him that I like the character that the knots and such give to a piece. He thought I was nuts, but he still helped me find the straightest boards in the rack.

building material questions
Hi I love your piece and think it came out great. I noticed on the original plans that 2 x6 pieces were listed. Did you use them in your project?
Thanks
