Modified camp style loft bed

Submitted by Firefly34 on Tue, 10/23/2012 - 21:00

I loved the simplicity of the loft bed. My daughter wanted it to be like a house so I built a wall. This is my first project ever using any power tools. I know it's not perfect but the joy if knowing that I did this all by myself with no help from my husband is priceless. It literally took me a day to cut the wood and put it together however since I am in no way a painter painting it took me a little over a week between priming the wood and getting the color just as my ever so picky 5 year old liked between painting the walls in her room at the same time.

Estimated Cost
Including wood, glue, screws, nails, and paint estimated $150.00
Estimated Time Investment
Week Long Project (20 Hours or More)
Finish Used
Glossy white mixed with purple stain (to make the deep purple my daughter wanted). I painted it after I put it together. I painted one section at a time since she has a very small room (8x9).
