A few weeks ago Jay dropped down on Max's bed and one of the boards that already had a small crack completely split! I started looking for beds, and found http://www.knockoffwood.blogspot.com/. This lady is AMAZING. She has made plans for a ton of stuff out of Pottery Barn, and Land of Nod. Her whole idea is to make really nice furniture for a fraction of the cost. Her version of the bed was to use pine and paint it but we wanted a nice hardwood that we could stain. Jay picked out a knotty alder and used her plans for the simple bed from Land of Nod......and made this bed.

Our VersionHe did such a good job. Max and Sam will be sharing a room so he is getting ready to start the other bed and make it into this.....
I can't wait until it's all the way done. When it is I'll post pictures of it. In the meantime I'm thinking up more projects for him to do........hmmmm!:
