Cut the boards about 1/4″ long then trim them down 1/16″ (about half a saw blade width) at a time to ensure the most precise fit. I started with the smallest triangle pieces on the top and bottom and worked my way towards the center.** I highly recommend holding your boards in place and marking them that way, instead of using a tape measure. Repeat after me: “measure, mark, cut, sand, stain, glue, nail.” That will be your mantra for the next 10 hours. Measure, mark, cut, sand, stain, glue, nail. But hey, at least your backside will look spectacular. You’ll need to hydrate, stretch out your quads, glutes, maybe chug a protein shake or something because it’s “leg day” at the workshop and YOU WILL BE SORE for the next three days. Overall, this is a super simple project to tackle, albeit extremely tedious. I am now rethinking that decision because I did about 10 hours worth of squats going back and forth from the floor to the saw. It was so much easier and more efficient to move the tiny R3 around the edges of the large sheet of plywood, rather than trying to wrestle this behemoth into the K4 or K5 model (which would’ve been impossible for me -> tiny Asian lady). #worksmarternotharderĪwww… will you just look at that adorable R3? It’s so cute, it’s like a little baby unicorn! #namethatmovieĪlthough I built a massive workbench, the headboard was just too heavy and cumbersome to hoist up there, so I had to build on the floor. Well, this was the first time I used the R3 model. Read about why Purebond is the healthier alternative here. The frame is built out of regular ‘ole Spruce 2×4 studs.Īnd check out all those pocket holes. If you’ve spent any time around here, you’ll know that I rarely build without my Kreg Jig. You can use any kind of plywood here because it will be hidden from view, but I used my favorite brand, Purebond Hardwood Plywood.

To read my full disclosure policy, click here. I AM TRYING TO KEEP IT TOGETHER. The days are long but the years are wayyyyy too short, amiright? She also started Kindergarten this month. I love how her new bed turned out, but I’m getting a little teary-eyed about her growing up. This is the second bed I’ve built for my four-year-old sweet pea and she’s thrilled about her new ‘big girl bed.’Ĭheck out the Restoration Hardware-Inspired Toddler Bed I built for her a couple of years ago. I built mine for under $200.Īnd because I built this bed for my daughter, I’m renaming it the Evelyn Chevron Queen Bed. West Elm’s version will set you back about $1,700.

It’s the final month of our West Elm Knockoff Decor Series and I’m a little weepy about it because it was so much fun to be a part of. I’m grateful my beautiful friend Aniko of Place Of My Taste included me in this Summer series she put together a stellar lineup. These girls are all DIY Rockstars and it was an honor to be among the very best.įor this month’s challenge, we each chose to knock off either a piece of furniture or home decor item and this Alexa Reclaimed Wood Bed was my pick. I’m super excited to finally share the plans and tutorial with you! If you’re just joining us, here’s the skinny: this Summer, myself, along with four other DIY bloggers have each tackled a different project inspired by an item in the West Elm catalog. Check out our June and July projects. Hi friends! If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram (thank you – you rock!), you would’ve already seen sneak peeks of this project.
