Repurposing a BUNK Bed....

So First....you have to imagine this as being a Bunk Bed...so close your eyes and picture another bed the SAME on top of this one...(I was TOO lazy and not suppose to lift, due to prego-ness)

So I am going to make NEW ends and use these ones for a project in my room.....(stay tuned for that one)

First you need....

 -10 feet 4X4

-10 feet 2X4

-2X 1/4" Dowls

-1/4" inch Drill Bit

Assorted Decals at Lowes (Crown Molding Department)

(This is the best I know how to explain it...sorry if it's confusing...it's the best I can do)

CUT: 4X4 & 2X4 at 34" long

I drilled 4 holes on each end of the 4X4 (starting @ 1"- 2 1/2"- 9" - and 10 1/2" in the center of the 4X4) 

I drilled in 3" in so I could put a 2 1/2" screw into the hole and screw it in to the 2X4

And after gluing & screwing, I sintched them tight to seal nice and strong.

So After letting them set I painted the Black with Acrylic Paint

-Let them Set 

-Sanded to my liking...

-Stained with MY FAVORITE STAIN (Minwax Dark Walnut)
- Let set again, but not too long because I'm antsy to finish at this time

-PUT TOGETHER

-a little detail!

 So I made 2 of them for the girls room and then I will make Trendals? for each so when we have ALL 4 we have enough beds for their room.  Stay tuned for their bedroom ALL put together and other FAB Makes for their room that are ALMOST finished.

(I HATE coming to the Library with 3 kids and trying to blog and trying to not loose my patience with kids running around and using their NOT-SO-Library voices while I blog...I'm a crappy mom!)
