Amazing Loft Bed with TONS of Cool Features!
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
For my daughter's 9th birthday, the only thing she wanted was a "beachy" loft bed. So you know I had to make it happen. But how do you make a loft bed "beachy" you say? Well we started by coming up with a design list of must-haves. Here's what we came up with:
-"Beachy" / Coastal Theme
-Mature enough that she will get many years of use
-Not damaging to floor / existing trim
-Plenty of storage & play area
-Electrical for outlets and lights
As this list came together, I quickly realized that this wasn't going to be a weekend project. Nevertheless, while this project took longer than expected and cost more than projected, I think we nailed it and I will say that it was well worth it!

My father and I were in a doctor’s waiting room and I saw a similar bed buildout in a magazine. Showed the article to my Dad and we talk about how awesome it looked and how easy it would be to build, the two of us. 😛 Mom thought we were biting off more than we could chew but in the end she did help. 🤗 On a Thursday and Friday Mom and I cleared my small bedroom of my furniture and belongings. Over the weekend Dad and I measured, bought the wood and nails, then measured, cut, nailed, rinsed and repeated til the buildout took shape.. Bed on top with a small bookcase at the head of the bed, a built in ladder at the end of the bed, a study with a desk, chair and bookcase underneath.. I loved it from age 11 til I was almost 17. So sad when we had to tear it down to make way for a young woman style room😢😌. Thanks for reminding me of this memory as I’m 66 years old now, 😛 so this happen over 50 years ago. Nice to see and think of other youngsters enjoying such a buildout.❤️ Oh, and my study doorway had the wooden hippy beads dangling in it…such a cool sound when going in and out of my study area 🤣.

Few things can offer the pleasure of turning material into magic.
Gorgeous build. Your daughter is one lucky young lady.
Her new bed is beautiful!! You guys are so talented!
Awesome book that gives you step-by-step photos kzread.infoUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt and directions to make every day project. I can see myself making a few of these projects and giving them as housewarming and holiday gifts!
That is so crazy how you can make THAT. 😱😱
Wow, a labor of love and this came out beautifully!!
What a lovely (and talented) dad. Madison must be over the moon with that.
Madison's a lucky girl! You guys did great! It'd be beautiful at night with fairy lights etc. Thanks for sharing! 🙏🌈🥰💝
I love it when others have good parents
I got a daughter as well and I'd do anything for her. You are an amazing DAD !
So sweet of him❤
It absolutely is beautiful, I’m sure she loves it great job

This is so fun!! If it werent for the fact that we are in our 60s and probably wont have the best mobility in 20 or so years I would love this for my husband and me!😂 Its just so frigging cool!
This is so good bless your daughter she is so lucky to have a kind mom and dad that would put their time and dedication into something like this.
Nice to have a mom and dad are so highly skilled!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Very impressive, how lovely for your daughter.
Dude, this is the best I've seen on the web for this sort of thing. Build super solid too... I've got a 2.5 year old who is about to transition to a regular bed and I'm looking down the road a couple years and this sort of thing will be perfect.
Wow that's a BEAUTIFUL build.
Your and your wife's work is second to none God continue to bless you and your family outstanding.

Absolutely beautiful! She is blessed!
You both did a great job!
Wow! Very creative and it turned out beautiful. Lucky little girl.
So awesome!! Love the mural underneath. I would want to utilize storage in the stairs as well and make each one some sort of pull-out drawer. Amazing build!!

@@dieypslackiert It seems to me like he used the space underneath the stairs to put shelves into it. When you look at the "play area", the shelving on the left matches the hight of the stairs.
Great job, poppa and momma!
That was a lot of work! Great job!!
Very nice. Thanks for sharing
That is such a beautiful bed I would love that bed
Amazing job!
Wow!! well done... lucky kid!!!
Great work done there
Wow, just wow! 👍👏👏👏💛
With all that talent it makes me curious to see how the rest of the house looks. Must be amazing

We can all agree the dog is the best
Amazing 👏
❤❤i want this bed!
I WOULD LOVE THIS AS A 10 YR OLD OMG- my room is tinyyy tho-
Do you, perhaps, have plans for sale for this? Oh! You do indeed!! My gosh, this is MARVELOUS. I agree, the skill level is Advanced. One can but try as hard as one might. I'm a 70-yo gramdma, but, I raised 3 boys by myself, so, I'm actually going to try to tackle this. With my 16.75 yo grandson. There will be cursing involved. Thx for doing a beautiful thing here. And, please tell Madison Thx a bunch!!
wow that loft is beautiful!!! 🤩🤩
cleanest build I've seen so far!

That’s a great infomercial! Well done!
Really cool. Not sure if I like the bigger steps. I've seen many loft beds built so you can put a couch, tv, or study area(desk).
No one describe how amazing this dad is she want it she got it 😎
They should add fairy lights to it :)
This is incredible!!
Amazing
Great work
So well done guys!!!

i am going to add that to my bedroom Thank you i love it❤🧡💛💚💙💜
I'm so jealous but I'm too big for that bed 😭 Cons of being tall....
Great use of vertical space.
Me and my sis jaws are dropped your so good at it!
This is a great design and I love the color tones. It’s very beautiful. I am not sure about the light fixtures right underneath the bed though. I would check the EMF level and put something underneath the mattress to block out the EMF since it’s prolong exposure during sleep. 🛌 This is a wonderful project overall!
Thats the manliest thing anyone can ever own
You and your Wife are the best parents for your daughter, You make anything she wants, Great bed and building. 🥹
Nice work ❤
The 30 year old me is so jealous to your daughter 😂😂
Love it 🥰

Huh interesting concept
So good
Hi, very nice bed and at general nice work. Congrats for you and especially for girls :). We had similar bed i.e. two beds in children room. Between beds we made stairs cca. 80 cm (30 inch) wide , very similar like you (if you mirror stairs and bed to the left side get very similar configuration as we had). But, under stairtreads we made drawers for toys storage. Very, very usefull space regarding lack of space in our apartment. Once again, nice work! Best regards.

ahh this is so beautiful and creative. i want a loft bed so badd, my dad insists i dont need it but i feel like itd be so much more convenient lol. space wise, my room is pretty small
I want it.
good work
Cool😊🎉
This is awesome - I built both my girls' beds, but have been considering rebuilding them into something a little more space saving. If they didn't have ceiling fans, this would be much more doable. I'd be concerned about the longevity - do you think she'll be able to 'grow into it' as well as her previous bed? Not sure how much a teenager would appreciate those stairs haha

I have a Loft to! But only to just longe in it. 😅
Beautiful! Not really related, but what color are the doors painted, the color is perfect!
Would this type of design fit a standard 8' tall ceiling?
y'know i've been watching too much of the feng shui guy when i'm 10 seconds in and going "TOO MUCH ENERGY." looks cute though. XD
I wounder if adults can fit in theat bed cuz that looks amazing
How could i modify this for 9ft ceilings? Would this be sturdy enough for an adult?
How high is your ceiling?
I love it!! Did I read the plans right that the height is 10'? Do you really have 10' ceilings in a bedroom? I'm pretty sure mine are only 8', but I'm hoping I can amend the plans a bit to compensate for the difference in height.
You use Shellac for the primer? Or did you use Bull's-eye 123? Also this is a great looking bed. You gyys did a great job. Keep up the great work 👍👍.

My friend's gave their young daughter a loft bed. Never again, they said. She would pick her nose and stick its contents to the ceiling.
