I built a bed!
My dad came up last week to help me get more comfortable with our power tools and I picked quite the project to start us off. ;P
The main tools we used were:
We used these plans from Ana White and added 6″ to each of the posts to make it a standard loft size instead of junior loft height.
We also made a matching twin bed that can go underneath (if you didn’t have an 8 year old who insists on having her desk underneath.)
For finishing, I chose to paint it with Valspar Chalk Paint in Beaded Reticule. After one coat of paint and one coat of clear wax, I dabbed some antique wax in random spots and spread it out with a paper towel. Super fancy, right? 😀
We love how it came out and I just love walking into their room!
