BOYS ROOM Phase 2 – {The Bed Part 1}
Here is the boys room the
“FLOATING LOFT BED”
My hubby has made this all on his own, and has done a darn good job. I am way impressed. He started by drilling 2×4’s into the wall into studs. Once the 2 2×4’s were drilled into the wall, he then drilled some wholes down into the tops of them to add metal dowels, if you will. Then once the bed was made with compressed wood, and 2x4s he drilled some wholes into the bottom 2x4s of the bed frame. That is so the bed can be placed on top of the 2x4s drilled into the wall, where they would rest holding it even more securely into place. He anchored the bed with more support with metal rings. One drilled into a stud in the wall and the other ring into the wood corner of the bed. A thick piece of rope, safe for extra weight, helps hold the bed as well. He last built the ladder with measured out 2×4’s, and the steps drilled into place. I painted the frame of the bed “SAFARI GREEN” and added the camo netting underneath, which is super fun, goes with the theme, and it also hides the 2x4s that the bed rest on top of. I chose to not paint the ladder giving it a natural element and look, but also because the steps would be used a lot…
(AND THEY ARE) and paint would rub off.

We are still waiting to get the top mattress and bedding to match.
SUCH A HUGE CLIMB FOR A little pip squeak. HE DID IT THOUGH-WA-HOO!
Evin is so happy to be in his big boy room with his cool big brothers.

THE LAST PART OF THEIR ROOM WILL BE THE BIG REVEAL….. I can’t wait… stuff is coming in the mail for it. My hubby has worked hard making this bed, and making it fun and safe. SAFETY FIRST. LOVE YOU HUBSTER.
