Build a queen size bed with storage

Have I mentioned yet that I live in Florida? Oh, that’s right… I sure have! That means I won’t be shoveling snow anytime soon this winter, but it also means that I don’t have a basement. Which, as you might guess – means that any project that I build has to have a storage component to it.

One project I have been asked to build is a new bed. Rhonda is looking for something to replace the bedframe we bought waaay back when we first got married with something a little sleeker and with some storage space. Right now, I’m evaluating some plans, and I’m starting with this one by Anna White. I like the idea of converting cabinets into a bed riser, and this is probably how I will work my plan, but with some modifications. For instance, I’m not a big fan of the drawers pulling out at the foot of the bed…

Stay tuned… this could be my during-the-holidays build…
