Build it and they will come.

I guess that's an invitation for anyone wanting to stay at our house! =) Our guest bedroom now has a full size bed and twin size bed that ISN'T just mattresses on the floor!! Thanks to my wonderful father who owns a circular saw and was willing to get and cut the wood for me (not to mention my AWESOME Kreg Jig that was an anniversary gift!), my husband and I ventured into making our own twin platform bed. I stumbled across as awesome blog with instructions and plans for pretty much anything. You can make your own furniture for a fraction of the cost and it's FUN. Yes that's right, fun! The only problem I stumbled upon was that fact that I didn't use my wood close enough to when it was cut and my long boards warped so after a quick trip to Home Depot and another $6 bucks (no biggie) we were back in business. So lesson learned. I'll post the a link to the wonderful website then post a couple of our pictures...we are so proud! Can't wait to start my next project! I even impressed the man at Home Depot by whipping out the words pocket holes and countersinking screws. ;)

We decided to leave the "platforms" off for now due to space issues.

Also no paint yet because it will eventually go to Q and J's room and we'll decide on color at that time!
