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 he now thinks Thomas the Train is for babies! LOL. Anyways, I have
decided 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 would be nice if the bed was some how fun for the child,
maybe a canopy or 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



What ever you build, don't build it for a 5 year old, or a 6 year old, or a
9 year old. See where I am going with htis? He will be a teenager before
you know it. Build something that you would not mind sleeping in. Build
something that you would want to actually keep.
