Lofty slumber

Project by Bradford posted 719 days ago 681 views 0 times favorited 7 comments Add to Favorites Watch

My daughter wanted a new bed because her room was too small for a playroom and bedroom. So, I built this. It is 2×6s and lag bolts mostly. The cabinets are half inch plywood with corner trim. The tv/drawers/bookcase/hiding room all fit snugly under the stairs. and it has cobalt rope lighting under the bed. The railings at the top(not pictured) bolt on to the vertical supports. Simple bed and she liked it.

Wow! It comes with an entertainment center too! Actually, that’s a great storage idea for a small room, and she looks quite happy with the results.

another very happy customer!!! :)

I’ve seen the “underneath” used in a lot of ways. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the space under the stairs used like this. Cool

This bed has 2×2 hand rails on top, 3 sides. The stairs have a cove routed in the outer edge to act as a hand rail for climbing, the steps have PSA anti slip strips. I have added a lower bed to accommodate a sleep over guest. The same construction as the rest of the bed. Thanks for your comments.
