Amazing Loft Bed with TONS of Cool Features!

For my daughter's 9th birthday, the only thing she wanted was a "beachy" loft bed. So you know I had to make it happen. But how do you make a loft bed "beachy" you say? Well we started by coming up with a design list of must-haves. Here's what we came up with:
-"Beachy" / Coastal Theme
-Mature enough that she will get many years of use
-Not damaging to floor / existing trim
-Plenty of storage & play area
-Electrical for outlets and lights
As this list came together, I quickly realized that this wasn't going to be a weekend project. Nevertheless, while this project took longer than expected and cost more than projected, I think we nailed it and I will say that it was well worth it!

My father and I were in a doctor’s waiting room and I saw a similar bed buildout in a magazine. Showed the article to my Dad and we talk about how awesome it looked and how easy it would be to build, the two of us. 😛 Mom thought we were biting off more than we could chew but in the end she did help. 🤗 On a Thursday and Friday Mom and I cleared my small bedroom of my furniture and belongings. Over the weekend Dad and I measured, bought the wood and nails, then measured, cut, nailed, rinsed and repeated til the buildout took shape.. Bed on top with a small bookcase at the head of the bed, a built in ladder at the end of the bed, a study with a desk, chair and bookcase underneath.. I loved it from age 11 til I was almost 17. So sad when we had to tear it down to make way for a young woman style room😢😌. Thanks for reminding me of this memory as I’m 66 years old now, 😛 so this happen over 50 years ago. Nice to see and think of other youngsters enjoying such a buildout.❤️ Oh, and my study doorway had the wooden hippy beads dangling in it…such a cool sound when going in and out of my study area 🤣.

Dude, this is the best I've seen on the web for this sort of thing. Build super solid too... I've got a 2.5 year old who is about to transition to a regular bed and I'm looking down the road a couple years and this sort of thing will be perfect.

Little Daughter's room was too plain, So Dad broke down all the stuff in her room to clear it all out and start a new room. First, Dad got some galvanized square steels and used it to make a layout, then secure firmly with borrowed screws from his aunt, covered with eco friendly wood veneers. Durable for 10, 000 years. Next, add a cushion to the bed frame and add wall matresses by the side to ensure comfyness, dig out a hole on top of the bed, store belongings such as books and paintings and add an extension hole for charging purposes. Dig out holes under the stairs for storage. Using eco friendly wood, build a wardrobe and cover with eco-friendly plastic to store clothes, add her gaming table and few touches. Here is your special room!

So awesome!! Love the mural underneath. I would want to utilize storage in the stairs as well and make each one some sort of pull-out drawer. Amazing build!!
