Hanging Bed
Never watch HGTV with you daughters. I am warning you, don't do it. Or you will find yourself doing a project like this one. My daughters love to watch all those before and after shows with me and while sometimes it feels like I am raising my best buds, it can really get you into trouble. My daughter first saw a hanging bed on "That's so Raven" she knew she had to have one. (Never mind that the bed she saw was on a TV set who had professional carpenters on the payroll.) This is what we came up with.
First the before ( I love "before and after" posts, but this is really a, "before and after so far" post, because this room is far from done.
We used a 20 year old (at least) bunk to make the bed. We just cut it down, added bead board to the head board and foot board and put it back together. (Notice the milk crate she is using as a stool to get up on this thing. Like I said before this room is far from done.)
This project has a lot of steps so check back and I will walk you through what we did.

I have a covered patio in my yard that this would be perfect in. I am going to hit your follow button now because I MUST see how you did this! Hope you follow me too?
ReplyDeleteOH MY! I better not show this to Mel. She will want to take it a step further and hang my dinning table or something. You're truly talented!
ReplyDeleteOh!!! ...a hanging dining table would be SO FAB!!

yes, but think how it would move when you cut your steak!
DeleteThat is so amazingly cool. And you got me laughing, too! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOk marisol
DeleteI have 2 daughters that also love to sit & watch HGTV with me & any type of home makeover show. They are nuts just like me for that stuff. I will definately keep them (BUT NOT ME) away from this blog b/c I too will be making these beds if they see it. I do however (just in case I decide one day to be nice) want to know how you did this. Too cute!!!!!
