Even if it is not a functioning communication device I think that would make a really cute idea for a lighting fixture. But knowing her she can probably find a way to make it both.
... I think I have the exact opposite of this bed. I put an old metal loft bed in my room, and decided to put my bed under it, and use the actual loft part for storage. I even put blankets over the railings so I feel like I'm in a cave.
Me as an artist: _"That's surprisingly cool. I love the design of the headboard in conjunction with the sides."_ Me as a human who has, in fact, lived in a loft bed with a guard rail since I was four: _"That's gonna be a pain in the ass to change linens on..."_
I literally had that human thought instantly after the reveal... “Wow, that turned out great but maaaan is that gonna be a nightmare to change the sheets.” 🤷🏻♀️😂
@@sarahcicle8592 Perhaps! The bed I grew up in had guard rails all away around the bed so there was no way even as an adult, that I could lift the mattress off and replace the sheets. You better believe I developed some amazing ab muscles and great balance trying to figure out how to change them without breaking my neck. I love the convenient space-saving of lofts but there's two big issues to them: the sheets are difficult to change even without full guards, and accessibility is a huge issue if you get sick. I got the flu one year as an adult while visiting my parents and I was stuck in that bed for the entire time. My dad had to lift me over his head and out of the bed to get to the restroom because I didn't have the breath to climb the ladder.
This is the perfect example of what "I'm my own boss now" should be like. I also want to be my own boss and build myself a super awesome fairy queen throne bed.
@Vedang Kandoi Oh no, no no. Don't rush. The second that Simone doesn't WANT to do this for me (us) anymore I am out.

@Vedang Kandoi Let youtubers have passion projects!

Yes. The furniture used to be absolutely stunning. My grandmother sold the intricately carved headboard of her & her recently departed husband's bedframe to pay funeral expenses and to support their five children (all under eleven) until his pension and survivors' benefit came in some months later. She missed that beautiful headboard until she passed more than fifty years later.

I moved into a very small room when I made Sergeant in the Air Force. But I was glad to finally get a place without a roommate, and the room had a cool tall vaulted ceiling. I built my own space-efficient furniture instead of using military-issue furniture. I built a loft along one side of the room. On top was my bed with storage cabinets behind it. Under it was a booth-style table and a computer desk. The opposing wall was filled with a bookcase that included two built-in dressers. The whole project turned out awesome. But I guess I made the place too nice. Whenever some VIP (such as a general or a politician or foreign military members) visited the base, they got to see my room as part of the base tour.
One clarification: I didn't build the dressers. I bought them and then designed the bookcase. I did build everything else in the room because I needed specific sizes.
@capuchinosofia4771 Yes, I do have photos. I suppose I could put them in a video. But I want to protect my identity on the web. Some people might see it and know who I am. I left the Air Force 30 years ago. I wouldn't want a loft bed now because, you know, I am 30 years older now. But I'm still doing woodworking!
I love that you tell how long things take. As a creator, I feel like people expect me to turn around with a complete project in a week or two, which isn't always realistic. Thanks for all you do, you're super inspirational ❤
I thought this was gonna be a scientific deep dive about why we have the kinds of beds that we do, and how we should change it. But nope lol this is great too
Simone: spends 12 hours and lots of intentional design effort gluing felt to her bed rails. Also Simone: uses a deck chair as a ladder to enter the bed.
I love her producer, just totally calm. Thing goes wrong, talent freaks out. Immediately, "It's okay, it's just glue." Talent continues to freak out. "It's okay, everything is going to be fine."
She started the video off saying she didn't want creepy, sexy comments, and here you are trying to climb into her bed. Shame. XD Just kidding. I think we'd all love to see more collaboration videos between you two.
The part where she accidentally snaps it and just shouts "OH NOOOOOOO" and starts cry-laughing because she's so shocked and frustrated but also finding the humor in it? I felt that lmao. I don't think I've EVER finished a project without something extremely frustrating happening that makes me hysterically cry-laugh 😂 I feel SO validated. If Simone Giertz is allowed to have a cry-laugh breakdown in the middle of her project then damn it, so am I.
@@jorgepeterbarton To be honest that stuff also hasn't stopped me. Not because I don't have Kids, I have a Cat. Or never been arrested. But like cleaning or doing things to get job can still be enjoyable once you realize.... YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN RULES on how to clean your own private space, and That Work doesn't just have to be like a chore if it's a thing you already love doing.
This has got to be one of the best produced DIY videos I've EVER seen on youtube... No corny acting and personality you're putting on, short and warned sponsor (which I'd usually skip through instantly), no corny baby music taking away from your voice (a tiny bit during montages is okay), you're just so genuine and I love every bit of it! Not to mention you're very skilled with the tools you use! Subbed, looking forward to checking out more of your designs :D
It made me worry what’s she gonna do when those glued-on fairy lights burn out. Maybe since it’s hot glue she can just rip them off. But still, reinstalling isn’t going to be easy. But it’ll be worth it for sure. What a masterpiece.
@@hopegold883 I'm also deeply sorry for the person who has to guess under which leave you have to search for the screws. I haven't come up with an alternative solution yet, but I really think about it...
As someone who uses the top bunk of a bunk bed bed as a shelf, and has covered all the sides in blankets to create a fort. I can absolutely say unique beds are awesome lol.
I agree on beds being elevated! My current bed is actually two beds! One on top that I use when watching movies or hanging out with friends and such and the one on the bottom is like my own little private comfort cave. Enclosed spaces can feel really cozy and comfortable to me. The bed is built on top of bookshelves so my bed cave is actually a book cave and I have lots of books and knick knacks down here. It’s really comfortable for me and I love it truly. The coolest bed I’ve ever had
Simone - "I know that some people are going to be really sleezy about it." Also Simone - Within the first two minutes, makes a "that's what she said" joke.
I *just* realized something, after all these years. I've always loved this channel, and yes part of that is because Simone always seems to come up with the most interesting projects. But also...it's because this is exactly how I imagine Clarissa from "Clarissa Explains It All" to be as an adult. Like, seriously: "So she lived on a boat for a while. Then she became famous by building intentionally shitty robots. Then she was employed by one of the guys from Mythbusters, she dealt with having a brain tumor, Kickstarted a cool light-up calendar, turned a Tesla into a pickup truck, and currently she builds quirky things on RUclips." is simultaneously a description of Simone's channel history and a pitch for a Clarissa reunion special
Simone: "Comments are gonna be sleazy" Also Simone: LOOK AT THE BIG BALL SACK, NO, DON'T LOOK AT THE BIG BALL SACK Also Simone: HOT GLUE IS MY STRIPPER NAME Also Simone: THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID
The elevated bed is actually quite genius. When I get away from renting apartments I'll definitely try to do that. My current studio apartment is tiny as it is so I have almost no extra room and certainly no space for building stuff, having one of those beds with a desk underneath it would've been a good start in hindsight but I just have a futon style bed that stays permanently unfolded into a bed I've also always liked the idea of a canopy bed, particularly in the summer because of mosquitoes and blocking out light, maybe I can have an elevated bed and mount some kind of curtain system onto the roof. Adding a future bed project onto the list for sure
My dad passed away the beginning of this year. He was also a self-taught builder and would work and build a lot of things in his garage/studio. Watching your videos bring me comfort and make me feel like I’m back hanging out with him in his garage building things together. I’m inspired to continue his legacy. Thank you, Simone.
Crying a little bit. I love building things and my dad and I used to make stuff together. Gonna try and build something with him soon. Thank you for sharing
The part where you time how fast you can do something tedious so you know how long it takes is so relatable. I've done that so many times even though it really doesn't help it go any faster.
hey Simone, i am a parttime CNC operator and i've noticed that your tabs are rather thick. you can bring them down to like 3mm if you want, then you can easily pop them with a small chisel. on your average 18mm plywood projects you really don't need a lot of tabs when you're not cutting faster than usual, so maybe my tip will cut (haha) some time for you. by the way i really really love your style! the way you show what you do makes it feel so 'normal.' a feeling that i don't have with all these "diy" channels that build epic stuff in less than half an hour and be all normal about it. when you finish something that you're proud of you really show it and that's what i like about your channel and overall style. cheers from the Netherlands!
This isn't bad advice, but there are other considerations: Not least, in my opinion, is that thicker tabs are *great* for working out the tolerances on your machine - don't forget that this is a shakedown project :)
@@jayayerson8819 my comment was indeed more of a tip for future CNC routing projects for Simone, thought she would maybe find it useful as she's new to it. i noticed she had to saw them all through and remove them which can be very time consuming.
Simone: "Comments in this video are gonna be sleazy." Also Simone: "We obviously need something bigger than this for my bed." Also also Simone: _whispers_ "That's what she said."
GAGAGAGAGAAGAG this is wonderful! PRANK! It is terrible! I looked in the mirror and saw something UNPRETTY: my face. GAGAGAGAG! But I am happy again because I have TWO HOT GIRLFRIENDS and I make cool YT videos with them! Good evening, love and peace, dear david
Imagine if Simone has kids, they're probably going to grow up in a fantastic and magical world of creativity, knowledge and curiosity. I'm so jealous of them.
Definitely kids often feel uncomfortable with any original habit of their parents. Almost all of us have been jerks to ma and pa... "Why don't you have a normal job?"/"Why you don't dress like the other moms?" age
Simone, every video you are outdoing yourself. The things you do are so beautiful and you have managed to make your home a truly wonderful place. Dogs, plywood and plants are the ingredients of dreams.
When I was watching the sections being glued together I was thinking that I probably would have added some pegs between the sections to make it a little more stable and secure...
I really appreciate that you left in the emotional part. Many people wouldn't have been brave enough to share disappointment like that. Thanks, we all have rough moments.
The anguished scream when she bumped the wall and broke the sideboard. 🤣 Very relateable for anyone who's worked on a project for a million years and made a mistake. 💕
I love how REAL you are. Like, not only do you have physical form, you're not afraid to make mistakes, and you're not afraid to SHOW us those mistakes. You are the example of "learning from our mistakes makes us better people" that I want to give my campers.
I have a friend named Celia, who has never heard of Simone, who I told about the CNC's name. Separate, yet related question, my friend Celia has a long and amusing history of no barista in the world, or anyone for that matter, spelling her name correctly; do find this to be the same or does my friend just have horrible luck? Thanks!
@@stevekdigitalworx for me, people always seem to think it’s “Cecilia”-no matter how clearly I say it, no matter if they’ve just read it, everyone always says or writes “Cecilia” the first time! So strange.
If I make one of these, I’m replacing one of those dressers with a sliding door and putting in a cushion for seating, a small shelf with a lamp on it, some small bookshelves, and a tiny table with a drawer just big enough to hold a diary and some writing tools.
Omg when she said "I love it so much!" at 16:41, I legit said "aw she said that like it's like a surprise bedroom makeover, except she built it" and then she proceeded to say the EXACT SAME THING
Projects like this are cool - ones that combine woodworking/crafting and art to create things that fit a purpose (or are maybe even multifunctional) but also look nice to keep around/display.
Yeah, even with a regular bed you can put some blocks under the feet or buy risers to get a little more height to fit storage bins underneath. Hers has a ton more space, though (if you don't mind literally climbing into bed).
I love having space under my bed. I've never had a fully lofted bed, but now I'm seriously considering building at least a more raised bed frame. Something like I could fit a mini fridge under it along with some bags etc. Love the video!
Which usually is hand in hand with Sod's Law: If something can go wrong; it will. Oh, and the Big Box Shop Rule: Your project will never be done with only one trip to the supply shop. (Think Home Depot/Lowe's, if you are confused).
Number one: Simone is a blessing onto the world. Number two: please make your next project a matching staircase for your bed because Red Chair does not match now.
Actually red is the complementary color for green. BUT I did think it was too bad she didn't paint (or otherwise finish) her bed before adding the rails and headboard. It was just plane osb board.
What I like about Simone most, is that she's not one of those that "well we decided to do it this way...." then bam it's done. She shows the 'light bulb' moments, and its WAY more organic that way and we can share in her delight at figuring thing out....
I prefer mine, with book shelves at the head, and a nook to put my glasses and watch in. I just have to remember to not put a glass of water in front of the books, so I don’t spill it waking up the next morning. Also a bed too high to just fall on and pass out at 4 am; anything where you have to climb it is too high unless your floor is super-comfortable.
I sleep in the loft room of 260 year old farmhouse in Italy.....it already looked like a treehouse when I moved in five years ago but I have only been increasing on that theme ever since... complete with a dinosaur corner......I'm 35...so yeah, don't worry what people will think about your lofty living space... just play out your own dreams 🍀
When you named it CNCelia, I was like “nice.” 😂 Not going to lie-the felt gluing bit had me like “oh yeah hook me up.” With a good movie in the background or an audiobook (or even really good conversation), ADHD brain could probably hyperfocus on something like that for a solid 3-4 hours.
CNC, "Computer Numeric Control". The very first one was a computer called the Whirlwind at the end of WWII attached to a Cincinnati Milling Machine cutting metal... They needed to cut airplane parts faster to win the war...
i love how this looks. the colours, the graphic almost cartoonish quality. you really dont see it in adult home decor motifs enough imo. i have to shop in the kids section of ikea to find any fun decor. and the spool of thread table!!!!!! amazing!!
I just want to take a moment to point out the CNCelia has a large enough working volume that you could carve an M41 Pulse Rifle from Aliens. I felt it was vitally important that someone let you know that.
Needs a can on a string. So you can call other tree house beds, obviously.
If anyone can turn a can on a string into a functioning communication device, I have faith that Simone could do it better than anyone.
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 my bet is on Alexander Graham Bell, but hopefully Simone can do it too
obviously

I love that Simone has built a super intricate headboard for her bed, and yet still uses a chair to climb into said bed.
and leaves the foot of it unfinished lol.
Does she have a sleeping bag and a brown cuddle pillow too?
She should build some steps
@@flala2261 Or some tree branches
Leaf pad steps or fruit style climbing knobs on the sides would look so cool 👀

Me as a human who has, in fact, lived in a loft bed with a guard rail since I was four: _"That's gonna be a pain in the ass to change linens on..."_
It does look like she can partly slide the mattress out the end, so it’s slanted, and that could make it easier
For some reason I read this as pass in the pain

Seeing someone else wear socks and sandals in their semi-robotic shop is at least the 4th most connected I’ve felt to a stranger.
In slippers and claiming I'm just going to take one measurement before being carried away.

@@jamesmay9345 my friends take my calipers sometimes so that I won't start a new project
Watch Linus tech tips
Simone: spends 12 hours and lots of intentional design effort gluing felt to her bed rails.
Also Simone: uses a deck chair as a ladder to enter the bed.
seriously, I hope some types of stairs for her bed is her next project, 'cause that chair is gonna skid around when she's getting up there someday.
@@TheDarkMessiah that’s what I said!
Needs to be either bark or river rock patterned
@@TheDarkMessiah Hopefully something Scraps can negotiate.
I laughed pretty hard when we got the second angle and it wasn't a step ladder like I originally though haha
"It just is. It just wasn't, and now it just is.'" Love how relatable this is as a creator of things.
I love her producer, just totally calm.
Thing goes wrong, talent freaks out. Immediately, "It's okay, it's just glue." Talent continues to freak out. "It's okay, everything is going to be fine."
I loved it tooo
TBH throw in a few sleepless nights and low blood sugar and anyone can go there :)
I hope I am invited to the tree house one day. As a friend.
She started the video off saying she didn't want creepy, sexy comments, and here you are trying to climb into her bed. Shame. XD Just kidding. I think we'd all love to see more collaboration videos between you two.
Water is also a mouse triangle.
Just tell simone that "you löv it". You'll have an open invitation.
@@johanw5181 Unless she says "näver".
I would like to be the filling in that cookie.
PLEASE, let the next video be "I DIY a bed ladder for my treehouse bed"
*plastic chair stepstool*
but in actuality, she makes a ladder to a platform where she swings across to get into bed.
i bet you are not that far, but she still needs to do an elevator for the dog to get there easier
The ladder better look like tree branches
Like a treetrunk or a toadstool :D
The part where she accidentally snaps it and just shouts "OH NOOOOOOO" and starts cry-laughing because she's so shocked and frustrated but also finding the humor in it? I felt that lmao. I don't think I've EVER finished a project without something extremely frustrating happening that makes me hysterically cry-laugh 😂 I feel SO validated. If Simone Giertz is allowed to have a cry-laugh breakdown in the middle of her project then damn it, so am I.
My friend’s joke about sewing: “It’s not a real project until you’ve bled on it.”
When Simone pushed the pieces together and they perfectly interlocked.... That's Satisfaction.
When those perfect pieces snap right before installing them... that’s sadisfaction
The Anna who said right away "It's ok we can fix it " looked like the sweetest person ever
SAD SNORT, lol
Then she tries to reassemble it...... Lets just stick this back on here like this... nope...
Best thing with being a grownup is that you can be a total kid and no one can stop you.

Yes!!!!
This has got to be one of the best produced DIY videos I've EVER seen on youtube... No corny acting and personality you're putting on, short and warned sponsor (which I'd usually skip through instantly), no corny baby music taking away from your voice (a tiny bit during montages is okay), you're just so genuine and I love every bit of it!
Not to mention you're very skilled with the tools you use! Subbed, looking forward to checking out more of your designs :D
Exactly what I was thinking
I want “Doesn’t even smell like a wet dog anymore“ on my tombstone.
Don't make your tombstone lie my dude
The “why am I like this” breakdown mid project is so on point.
It made me worry what’s she gonna do when those glued-on fairy lights burn out.
Maybe since it’s hot glue she can just rip them off. But still, reinstalling isn’t going to be easy.
But it’ll be worth it for sure. What a masterpiece.
@@hopegold883 I'm also deeply sorry for the person who has to guess under which leave you have to search for the screws. I haven't come up with an alternative solution yet, but I really think about it...
Simone: I can make anything!!
Also Simone: *uses a plastic lawn chair as stairs at least twice a day*
Soon to be replaced by a bed-elevator. Because a ladder or stairs would be too easy.
Looks like a metal chair to be fair

The theme of Simone’s videos is always quality over quantity
I'm aiming for both low quantity and quality
This is what i subscribed for
@@simonegiertz you are nailing it then
@@simonegiertz like a ball sack joke right next to a amazingly made montage
Also Simone: ONE THOUSAND MACHINED LEAVES
As a 26 year old with a loft bed, I agree with the beginning statements on how useful they are for storage space.
As someone who uses the top bunk of a bunk bed bed as a shelf, and has covered all the sides in blankets to create a fort. I can absolutely say unique beds are awesome lol.
As a 29 year old married woman that can't have a loft bed I am very sad at my lack of storage opportunities :(
I agree on beds being elevated! My current bed is actually two beds! One on top that I use when watching movies or hanging out with friends and such and the one on the bottom is like my own little private comfort cave. Enclosed spaces can feel really cozy and comfortable to me. The bed is built on top of bookshelves so my bed cave is actually a book cave and I have lots of books and knick knacks down here. It’s really comfortable for me and I love it truly. The coolest bed I’ve ever had
Simone - "I know that some people are going to be really sleezy about it."
Also Simone - Within the first two minutes, makes a "that's what she said" joke.
@@DyslexicMitochondria love your videos man
Shortly after, testicles get mentioned.
The bed design screams „this is why im single“ so whatever (jk looks nice)
Let’s not forget the giant ball sack a couple minutes later.
I mean when she says sleezy I think it's more of a "direct unwanted sexual advances" kind of deal
The moment of pure joy when Simone turns around after its done! So wholesome.
I *just* realized something, after all these years. I've always loved this channel, and yes part of that is because Simone always seems to come up with the most interesting projects. But also...it's because this is exactly how I imagine Clarissa from "Clarissa Explains It All" to be as an adult.
Like, seriously: "So she lived on a boat for a while. Then she became famous by building intentionally shitty robots. Then she was employed by one of the guys from Mythbusters, she dealt with having a brain tumor, Kickstarted a cool light-up calendar, turned a Tesla into a pickup truck, and currently she builds quirky things on RUclips." is simultaneously a description of Simone's channel history and a pitch for a Clarissa reunion special
The elevated bed is pretty cool to see, love seeing projects or interior design that involve space saving and/or multifunctional furniture/creations.
"I needed a certain kind of leaves on my bed, so I got a CNC machine."
Simone: "Comments are gonna be sleazy"
Also Simone: LOOK AT THE BIG BALL SACK, NO, DON'T LOOK AT THE BIG BALL SACK
Also Simone: HOT GLUE IS MY STRIPPER NAME
Also Simone: THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID
Some of us gay men worship giant taut sacks like that..
"THIS IS WHERE THE MAGIC HAPPENS"
I think she meant that SHE wanted to be the one to make sleazy comments. Leave it to the professional guys!
"If I do this by myself it's going to take twelve hours, but if we all work together it'll only take three days!"
Every school group project ever
The elevated bed is actually quite genius. When I get away from renting apartments I'll definitely try to do that. My current studio apartment is tiny as it is so I have almost no extra room and certainly no space for building stuff, having one of those beds with a desk underneath it would've been a good start in hindsight but I just have a futon style bed that stays permanently unfolded into a bed
I've also always liked the idea of a canopy bed, particularly in the summer because of mosquitoes and blocking out light, maybe I can have an elevated bed and mount some kind of curtain system onto the roof. Adding a future bed project onto the list for sure
"do you wanna come over? my bed doesn't smell like wet dog anymore."
haha love her sense of humor

My dad passed away the beginning of this year. He was also a self-taught builder and would work and build a lot of things in his garage/studio. Watching your videos bring me comfort and make me feel like I’m back hanging out with him in his garage building things together. I’m inspired to continue his legacy. Thank you, Simone.
i'm sorry for your loss, and i'm really glad you could find something that brings you comfort!! ♥️
i'm so sorry :ccc i'm so glad you're finding comfort
I’m so sorry for your loss but I’m glad you found something that helps ❤️
Sorry for your loss it's one i share unfortunately.
Crying a little bit. I love building things and my dad and I used to make stuff together. Gonna try and build something with him soon. Thank you for sharing
I've never been more envious of someone's bed in my entire life, this is both my childhood and adulthood dream bed in one
The part where you time how fast you can do something tedious so you know how long it takes is so relatable. I've done that so many times even though it really doesn't help it go any faster.
hey Simone, i am a parttime CNC operator and i've noticed that your tabs are rather thick. you can bring them down to like 3mm if you want, then you can easily pop them with a small chisel. on your average 18mm plywood projects you really don't need a lot of tabs when you're not cutting faster than usual, so maybe my tip will cut (haha) some time for you. by the way i really really love your style! the way you show what you do makes it feel so 'normal.' a feeling that i don't have with all these "diy" channels that build epic stuff in less than half an hour and be all normal about it. when you finish something that you're proud of you really show it and that's what i like about your channel and overall style. cheers from the Netherlands!
This isn't bad advice, but there are other considerations: Not least, in my opinion, is that thicker tabs are *great* for working out the tolerances on your machine - don't forget that this is a shakedown project :)
@@jayayerson8819 my comment was indeed more of a tip for future CNC routing projects for Simone, thought she would maybe find it useful as she's new to it. i noticed she had to saw them all through and remove them which can be very time consuming.
Simone: "Comments in this video are gonna be sleazy."
Also Simone: "We obviously need something bigger than this for my bed."

Definitely kids often feel uncomfortable with any original habit of their parents. Almost all of us have been jerks to ma and pa... "Why don't you have a normal job?"/"Why you don't dress like the other moms?" age
LMAO the genuine scream of anguish when the end of the railing snapped off
Simone, every video you are outdoing yourself.
The things you do are so beautiful and you have managed to make your home a truly wonderful place.
Dogs, plywood and plants are the ingredients of dreams.
so true. could be straight out of a 'most comfy bedrooms' list! and I love the giant plant, it's so vibrant.
But dogs in beds? They don't wipe their feet and they lick their arses...
Simone: *excitement intensifies*
Bed frame: ‘plopp’
Simone: NOOOOOOOO
Ah, the classic laugh to not cry...
Just when I thought Simon was becoming too seamless with her builds, oddly reassuring to see a mistake even with her level of experience
When I was watching the sections being glued together I was thinking that I probably would have added some pegs between the sections to make it a little more stable and secure...
I really appreciate that you left in the emotional part. Many people wouldn't have been brave enough to share disappointment like that. Thanks, we all have rough moments.
When you go to a girls house and she says do you want to take this to the bedroom? And then you both get distracted and play treehouse
Sounds like a win-win.
Sounds like a good way to test each other for long-term-relationship potential.
Simone: Thank you so much for helping me realize that I wanna design a new layout for my room and build some furniture pieces to better suit my needs
The anguished scream when she bumped the wall and broke the sideboard. 🤣 Very relateable for anyone who's worked on a project for a million years and made a mistake. 💕
I love how REAL you are. Like, not only do you have physical form, you're not afraid to make mistakes, and you're not afraid to SHOW us those mistakes. You are the example of "learning from our mistakes makes us better people" that I want to give my campers.
"It just wasnt, and now it just is" perfectly capturing the esential of 3D printing and CNC.

As someone who is named Celia, I’m gonna pretend that your CNC is named after me
I have a friend named Celia, who has never heard of Simone, who I told about the CNC's name. Separate, yet related question, my friend Celia has a long and amusing history of no barista in the world, or anyone for that matter, spelling her name correctly; do find this to be the same or does my friend just have horrible luck? Thanks!
If a job is going badly, she can sing "Cncilia, you're breaking my heart".

Fortin' with Simone
If I make one of these, I’m replacing one of those dressers with a sliding door and putting in a cushion for seating, a small shelf with a lamp on it, some small bookshelves, and a tiny table with a drawer just big enough to hold a diary and some writing tools.
Omg when she said "I love it so much!" at 16:41, I legit said "aw she said that like it's like a surprise bedroom makeover, except she built it" and then she proceeded to say the EXACT SAME THING
Projects like this are cool - ones that combine woodworking/crafting and art to create things that fit a purpose (or are maybe even multifunctional) but also look nice to keep around/display.
I'd never been so quickly convinced of something i didnt know i needed until Simone talked about the storage space potential under a tall bed.
ME TOO
Yeah, even with a regular bed you can put some blocks under the feet or buy risers to get a little more height to fit storage bins underneath. Hers has a ton more space, though (if you don't mind literally climbing into bed).
Now all you need is a toadstool stool to get up onto the bed
My mind immediately pictured a bouncy toadstool so she can hop all the way up to the bed like a frog.
Oooooh yes
Oh nice! My mind was still stuck on a staircase with more leaf patterns. Yours is better!
Do you want to summon a certain italian plumber?
@@witerabid
Staircase is good. Toadstools is good. Toadstool staircase
Next project: a cool staircase for the bed, that matches the tree house theme.
A rope ladder type look might be cool, or something shaped like branches/roots!
Hell yes
Micro elevator.
She'll have even more space for drawers!!
@@jaynestrange I like the branches or roots idea. I've found rope ladders can be surprisingly difficult
I love having space under my bed. I've never had a fully lofted bed, but now I'm seriously considering building at least a more raised bed frame. Something like I could fit a mini fridge under it along with some bags etc. Love the video!
If you’re working on a big project and keep breaking router bits, you can sing “CNCelia, you’re breaking your parts, you’re acting incompetent, baby”

Ah, you met the infamous Hofstadter's Law: «It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law».

Number two: please make your next project a matching staircase for your bed because Red Chair does not match now.
Actually red is the complementary color for green. BUT I did think it was too bad she didn't paint (or otherwise finish) her bed before adding the rails and headboard. It was just plane osb board.
@@brevs8387 Color - yes. Shape - no. This chair does not match.
14:33 this moment made me gasp so loud i was so invested omg
What I like about Simone most, is that she's not one of those that "well we decided to do it this way...." then bam it's done. She shows the 'light bulb' moments, and its WAY more organic that way and we can share in her delight at figuring thing out....
Remember those "And, here's one I prepared earlier!" moments in lifestyle shows? So glad Simone doesn't do that. :)
I love how she thinks this is a weird idea but we would all love to have a bed like this
I prefer mine, with book shelves at the head, and a nook to put my glasses and watch in. I just have to remember to not put a glass of water in front of the books, so I don’t spill it waking up the next morning.
Also a bed too high to just fall on and pass out at 4 am; anything where you have to climb it is too high unless your floor is super-comfortable.

Also if your bed is up high the monsters can't get to you.
I sleep in the loft room of 260 year old farmhouse in Italy.....it already looked like a treehouse when I moved in five years ago but I have only been increasing on that theme ever since... complete with a dinosaur corner......I'm 35...so yeah, don't worry what people will think about your lofty living space... just play out your own dreams 🍀
I love the idea of a loft bed, but there is one slight problem here in Australia... Ceiling fans...
When you named it CNCelia, I was like “nice.” 😂
