Child's Toddler Bed

Nathan built a bed for our little toddler for Christmas. It turned out amazing!!!

The legs actually turned out so good. Pretty proud of this project!

The painting was done by Aliece. Just a simple stencil and some patience. It turned out very well. The mattress fits snug and keeps the sheet in place. Before we got into place Christmas Day our little one was all over it. She loves it!! 

Triple Bunk Bed

It has been a little while since we installed the triple bunk beds for a friend of ours. (Sorry, I haven't been feeling the best.) They just had baby #5 and another girl totally 4 girls. So a change needed to happen in the bedrooms to make room for all the growing girls. After doing some surfing the web and finding a design...ok...so we love Pinterest. My friend and I ran across this bed about the same time! And an answer was given for the changes needed in their rooms. The actual blog site is here: The Handmade Dress. A great place for plans and all sorts of fun things. The directions are great until towards the end. It seems that they kind of  just get tired and stop giving enough detail for measurements and instillation directions. Keep on your toes there or just send us a message. Here are the pictures. The kids were so excited.

They wanted to paint them themselves so we just put a nice fine sand on it and installed. Can't wait to see what they choose to do!!

King Sized Hanging Log Bed (Part 2)

I am so very excited to share this post with you today!! Well...tonight. I LOVE THIS BED!! And I think you should too. 
Nathan worked so hard on this bed and to all our pleasure it turned out perfect!! 

We started off Friday night with the idea of painting our bedroom. For a year we have lived with just taped and textured but thank you to my wonderful brother, Aaron, we ran off to Lowe's for some paint. (He gave me a gift card to Lowe's for Christmas. What a thoughtful person.) 

Lets just get down to the pictures. Here is what we started with when we cleared out the old bed--we hated our old bed. So uncomfortable. In fact, so much that we don't even have pictures of it!! We slept on the floor for about a month now. Here we go:

 You have seen this next picture in a previous post. But here we are a work in progress still down in the shop. 

All our wood is personally cut with the creation in mind. We not only select lumber with character but with beauty and durability. 

 In the process of painting we had to take down our closet. You can see all our shoes and clothes in the back ground but here you can see the colors we chose for the walls. The one wall is "apple-a-day" at Lowe's and The wall in which the bed is against is "gravity" LOVE Them BOTH!!!I wish I were a better photographer so you can see it. As Nathan would say "the bed is our main focus here. Don't distract them." (I am kind of good at that!) This picture lets you see the bed as is. The half logs are anchored to the trusses. We hung from the ropes (swung on the ropes more like it) before they hung the bed. Pretty solid.

  Here we are finally with the bed made. It takes a long time to get it made with taking so many pictures. But we wanted you all to see it as we went along. Totally worth it! 

 We have to show off Nathan's favorite part of this bed. He selected this pole with this bed in mind when he was in the mountains. And as it was peeled in the shop it became even more beautiful.

And of course, here are our little ones. They had to be our models! They wanted to get up on the new bed so badly and have their pictures taken. 

And we can't leave out our knot tier, Cody. He did a great job. For how complicated these knots look as a finished product, he was quick and made them look so easy to do. Thank you CJ and Stephanie for getting him the books that interested him. He has such a gift!!

This is how we attach it to the ceiling. Beautiful!!

Each piece of the bed is loose from the others, only connected via the rope and gravity. The fraying is still in the early stages. But as time goes on it will fray better and look fuller. 

This has been a very fun project. In fact, so fun that Nathan has been talking about the next one he gets to build. And we look forward to having more orders. This bed can be customized to any size bed or bedroom. We work with our customers to make sure their personality shines through. 

Please contact us with any questions or inquiries on this or any other products showcased on our blog. We look forward to working with you!

King Size Hanging Log Bed

Yes, that caption is Hanging Bed!! I am really excited about this. Mainly, because it is my bed he has been working of for so long!!! And it looks so good. Not good, GREAT!!

Here it is sitting in the shop. I just can't wait until he has time to get it hung in the bedroom.

It is a bit blurry. I was not ready to take pictures. He snatched this one and put it on facebook so I stole it for our blog!! Again, I LOVE THIS!!!the two half logs are for the accent on the ceiling from which it will hang. OH I cannot wait for it to be up. More pictures then!!!

 These were done for a custom ordered for a family with two boys. They were for the older son's  birthday. He is a big fan of Cowboy stuff so we came up with branding the wood. Turned out great. We did learn a few things with these beds and how to do them even better.
