Original bed .. we found this design on a site called poshtots.com .. the bed sells for just under $5,000 .. lol.. so we decided to give it a try ourselves with a bit of DIY. material costs about $100.00
The building begins ....
Only took 3 days to complete .. 1 day to cut out pieces and day 2 to put it together and paint it.. day 3 to assemble in the room and add finishing touches
