My New Bed
Josh and I actually finished this bed before Elijah was born, but I've yet to blog about it. I love it it adds a whole new perspective to my bedroom. I used barn wood collected from my dad's house and plans from ana-white.com. Love her blog she has all sorts of plans for the DIYer so anyway here it is.
Before. How our bed had been for atlest the last three years of our married life. We did at one point have a metal frame underneath our smaller bed, but when we bought the bigger one, the frame didn't fit.
We cheated and ran the boards through the planer so that we could take some of the rough off, but leave a the color. I really didn't want splinters in my back. We used a black milk paint for the trim and a satin water base varnish for extra protection and the slight shine.
The best thing about it is we did it for less than 150 dollars and Josh did it in two evenings and I did the paint. The only project we have ever finished in less than a week. Thanks Ana-white.com

I am in LOVE! Nice work guys!
That is such a nice bed! Ben is always in awe of the projects you guys complete. He would love to do similar things in the future.
Nice cake by the way. I'm hesitant to jump into the cake ring. Cupcakes are my friend. :)
So thankful for the updates on YOU! I love the bed and the cake and -- most of all - your adorable little boy!!! Did you guys buy a house in Post Falls? I never got where you ended up. Do you have your own shop? That's our dream! We're still working on college student life in an apartment again next year, but we're hoping to come up THERE as soon as Dave finishes his Masters online and jumps a few levels in his work. So -- I this is way too long for your blog and I need to send you an e-mail. But I've been thinking about you and LOVE LOVE LOVE the update! :-)
