my new bed

Awhile back, I stumbled upon ana-white.com of a mom who makes furniture and posts free plans.  Growing up, I watched my Grandad and Dad build things but never had myself.  I had refinished some things with my dad when I was young and have continued in the past few years.  I love doing it.  Building a big piece of furniture was very intimidating to me, so I started small with a bed for Kylee's 18 inch doll. I was hooked and decided to attempt a bed frame for us.  I've had my eye on this bed from Pottery Barn for a long time, but didn't love the price tag.  When I found this bed plan, I adapted it to look more similar to the one from Pottery Barn by adding a foot board and different feet. So, with a little help from Joshua and a friend Jason, I built it.  I love the way it turned out, and especially the price tag!  I don't think this will be the last piece I build, because I had way too much fun!
