Big Boy Bed Status
UPDATE: We have finally posted our “tutorial” so you can hopefully build a bed like the one below. Find the details HERE.
You can tell by Dax’s “long hair don’t care” appearance that this post is long overdue. I had hoped to post a bed tutorial first, but this on-again, off-again spring weather has our bed painting session on hold until it’s consistently warmer.
I think this post deserves a moment of praise for my handy husband took on the task of creating a lighted headboard (with a switch, y’all) from a dream in my head and a chicken scratch sketch on an old bill. Guys, he totally knocked it out of the park! We plan on painting the bed white soon, but in the meantime we are enjoying it as is. Dax absolutely loves being able to have a light above him at the flip of a switch, and although I was worried he may use it when he shouldn’t, we haven’t had any issues in the past couple months, thank goodness!
Stay tuned for more detailed DIYs from the bed, quilt and more from this project coming up. Enjoy.
Although the DIY is to come, we’ve had interest in where we got the light on the headboard. We got it off amazon guys. It was so easy to install, the perfect size and such a great deal. :)

Do you have the plans/instructions for this wonderful bed?
Heather, Sorry to say we don’t have specific plans. We worked off an existing bed frame from another blogger and just created the headboard on our own. It was a pretty simple project and so fun to create for our little guy!
This is so cute! Will you still post a DIY for the bed? I’d love the measurements of the lumber :). Also, where did you find the fabric of his quilt? I love it!
Louise, Thank you so much for your sweet words! I’m not sure we will have a great amount of detail for the bed, since we just kind of winged it during construction, but the fabric for the quilt is from Joann Fabrics! I was so pleased with how the quilt front turned out, and the backing went perfectly. :)

Does the bed have slats and does it have box springs are just mattres?
Robert,
The bed does have slats and then just a twin size mattress on top. :)

Love this look! Where is all the bedding from??
Cristina,
I actually made the quilt and pillows, but the sheets are Martha Stewart that I got at Macy’s I believe!
