I recently built this loft bed for my 10 year old daughter. She decided it was time to get rid of the Pink girly bedroom and change to some bright colors. She wanted a loft bed with a futon underneath. We picked up a cheap futon but I promised to build the bed. So, she designed it. She gave me this sketch and asked me to build it (notice the feet on the end view of detail C, and her arrows representing wood grain direction - gotta love it cause it was all her idea):

It's made from Poplar and stained with Mahogony and finished with poly. I added puck lights underneath and now she has the nicest spot in the house to read. Amazing how much time she now spends in her room.

And the satisfied customer :):

We decided she didn't need the gaurd rails so I didn't build those.
Thanks for looking,
John
