Hi all,

I have a 5 years nephew that often spends the weekend. *I would like to
build him a bed (twin size). *I was thinking about a train bed, but I'm told

to stay away from theme beds. *I would like to build a basic box bed with
some storage (maybe drawers underneath and a headboard with shelves). *It

something. *I can build about anything, but finding the right look or idea
could take me months.

Any good pics or plans out there?

Thanks for reading,
Jim
