Having Zachy's bed redone this week!

Before


I am super excited that Zachy’s bed is being refinished this weekend by a girl I met from Craigslist. I bought Emma’s bedroom furniture from her and while I was picking it up I noticed a wonderful bed she had built out of PALLETS! It was amazing and I just have to have one in my house now. She agreed to take Zachy’s bed and redo it using the rails and drawers. She is also making me some pallet shelves for that back wall. I am super excited to get it done and can’t wait to see the results. I will post pics as soon as I get the bed back. Check out her blog at Sweet Sweet Simplicity


UPDATE:


Got the pallet bed back on Sunday and after a few minor setbacks (my old bolts no longer fit and new ones were too big AND the old rail no longer fit) I finished assembling it today. I LOVE it! Leslie did an amazing job. While I love the bed I have to say these shelves are my FAVORITE! She sells these for only $30 each! Amazing! When I initially saw the pallet bed and shelves I was concerned that they were too dark but now that it is all together, it's just PERFECT. I do have a few minor things to fix, like the part of the rail I cut and the holes I had to bore out to make the bolts work but otherwise it's done and here are the pics to prove it!






After


Notice that the top shelves have a ledge on the top for sitting his favorite things! 


I had to cut the rail but will be staining that part tomorrow!

Notice the rope handles on the drawers. LOVE!
