Jeffrey's Fancy Farmhouse Bed

Submitted by JellyBug on Fri, 08/12/2011 - 19:38

Time: About 15 hours
$: 150 (wood, stain, sand paper)
Stain: Minwax Red Mahogany (2 coats)
Finish: Satin Polyurethane (1 coat, light sand, another coat)

We had to change a few of the measurements just slightly, but overall the directions were awesome!

The only change that we made was to the "footboard", instead of 2x2's and a 2x4, we changed it to one 4x4. We added moulding at the base of the feet and at the top of the footboard we added a routed headplate. It gave it a real "finished" look.

Sorry for the "spotty" pictures...dang camera!
