Rowan's New Bed!

A few months ago I discovered this awesome website http://www.knock-offwood.com/">Knock-Off Wood. We were already thinking of getting Rowan a twin bed since he was barely fitting in his toddler bed anymore. Then I found the website and the plans for http://www.knock-offwood.com/2009/12/plan-stratton-daybed-as-request-by-you.html">this bed and decided we should build Rowan a bed! Mike wasn't thrilled with the idea at first, but quickly realized I was right and we needed to build him a bed ;) The bed (and a lot of the furniture) is actually a knock-off from this'>http://www.potterybarn.com/?cm_type=gnav">this site, here is his'>http://www.potterybarn.com/products/stratton-daybed/?pkey=cdaybeds">his bed, it actually is listed at $900!!! It was pretty easy to build, but did take FOREVER, mostly because we don't have a garage (I now understand what Mike has been complaining about for the last few years!) I already have several more projects picked out (especially this http://www.knock-offwood.com/2009/12/plans-farmhouse-table-knock-off-of.html">FarmHouse Table- with benches), but I'm thinking for the next one we'll need to borrow someone's garage....

the piece's built, just needed painted

(it's really comfy..)
