This was the BIG summer project! The plan when moving my son to his own room (which happened to be the bonus room) was to eliminate the need for a dresser. Partly due to space and low ceilings. After much planning we decided on the Fillman storage Bed that Ana-White had posted. It was for a twin size bed. I calculated and measured and came up with a queen size based on those plans. I will update with my cut list and sizes if anyone is interested. For now here are the pictures! I did add 2 wooden knobs to each drawer (stained to match) Need to get an updated picture!
