I am not a professional artist, designer nor carpenter and someone had asked if my parents taught me these skills. No, both my parents worked in healthcare. 😁👨⚕️👨⚕️ I am simply someone who was tired of going into debt in order to afford what I thought we needed. So a few years ago I started sketching and building! Our family is now consumer debt free, but I still build. 😊 My 9yo daughter asked for this bunk bed and so here it is. I hope you enjoy the video and thank you for watching!

I love the simplicity of the design. I wish this came out a year and a half ago because we needed a triple bunk but just used out existing bunk and raised it up. Of course the child on top can reach the ceiling and I have literally said "stop eating the ceiling!" (it's a popcorn ceiling). We have six children and we need another triple bunk so I will be referring to this video again. Thanks for the great content!

One of the few diy furniture I've done is bunkie boards. The first one I did 4 years ago when my boy broke boards on it by jumping on the bed. I reinforced it with several extra boards and improved the outside cover with outdoor fabric. Then this last summer, I took apart a trashy looking twin box foundation and 2 more flimsy bunkie boards (from my parents storage unit) and made two more solid ones, covering them with outdoor fabric I had gotten from someone decluttering. Score. So the second two were nearly free.
