Custom Castle Loft

Project by Chris Davis posted 407 days ago 2186 views 3 times favorited 13 comments Add to Favorites Watch

This is a playhouse that was completed in September. It is our loft bed that I build regularly with a little bit of style added to it. I have to admit that I didn’t do the finishing work on it. It was shipped to the customer unfinished and they did this remarkable transformation. Their time and decorating skills made this the most awesome one that I’ve seen. My lofts features a bed on top, a tower to get to the top, and a slide to get back down. It also has a play area on the bottom with a bookcase under the slide. The customer added some starched fabric to some of the panels for the flower designs. The flower box added a lot of character to bed. I may try to steel that idea for future castle lofts that I build.

I broadcast my shop live each day. Here is a quick video segment showing the top being built.

my daughters would love that bed… I don’t think there is enough room to get two in their bedroom though!
fantastic work.

Awesome design. I love the slide and the playhouse under the bed. I’ll have to hide these pictures from my daughter or I’d be exiled to the shop until it was built.

Very cool. I need a slide like that to get out of bed in the morning!

Did you see thewoodennewfie’s castle that was just posted

That is a great design too. Keeps the castle theme, but doesn’t take up as much room.

Hi Chris

Great looking piece as always. This one made it to my favorites. Grandma is and artist, so we might have to team up on this one. Thanks for posting.

God Bless Tom

Our girls love this play house…it’s not even their bed. The slide is so fast and fun and they just love to have a spot of tea inside. THANK YOU!!!
