My youngest granddaughter is four. She has outgrown the crib, even its later iteration as a day bed. So I'm going to build her a twin size trundle bed with drawers based on this one. Instead of the slats it'll have raised panels in the head and toe boards and maybe a bookcase above the headboard.*I've started by rummaging through the piles to get some* pews out.
Ripped up and glued some pew seats to make the 1.5x4 posts and cross pieces of the head & toe boards. The short ones are muntins for the upper panels. Her name is Willow so that why they look like that. Also ripped up all sorts of remnants to make the panels. Tedious but they're getting used.
It seems you have dropped the idea of a trundlebed with a 2nd mattress and now making a bed with drawer storage below the mattress. Am I correct? Or am I seeing it wrong?
Trundle is done. I have a couple of drawer pulls that are high by about 1/8" at one end. I was wondering if there was an easy way to elongate the hole to avoid installing a dowel and redrilling.
I'll bet you'd be happier with it in the long run if you dowel and redrill.
That's a really nice bed!
