Cottage Bed

I saw a few pictures on the Internet of a bed I wanted to buy for my daughter.. After finding out the price, I decided to draw one out and ask my dad to help me make it. (Or actually make it.. I bought the supplies, sanded, painted and primed the wood and that was about the extent of my participation.) My dad can build anything and he happens to like to do things for us, so it works out great!

I bought the slide and swing at Menards, the lights from Crate and Barrel and the quilt, shams and matching pendant  from a nice lady on Etsy.  I made the curtains to match her bedroom curtains.

It turned out better than I imagined and I love it more than the one similar I saw online because my dad built it. I had him sign, "Made with love " on the underside for her.

A few pics along the way...
