Liam's Christmas Day Barn Bed

Our son Liam-Joseph wanted a "Big-Boy Bed" and then he added "I want Daddy and Santa to make it".  Well "Santa" and my wife Jacques looked all over the internet and finally found your Cabin Bed via jennwoodhouse.com.  Jacques altered the plans demensions and she realized the bed could be barn-like so she came up with the red and gray paint job.  She actually wanted a cupola but I thankfully talked her out of that.  Well somehow we keep the construction from Liam 2 weeks before Christmas.  On Christmas Eve Liam's Grandparents keep him at their house while "Santa" and I put the bed together (I never did a trial run so I was relieved when everything fit right together).  The next day after opening his presents he ran up to his room and saw his bed for the first time.

The project isn't completed.  I recently finished the roof with wood pallets but I need to finish the trimming of the interior of the bed walls.
