    LOVED this video when I first saw it last year. It was perfect timing because I was moving from one place with 2 tiny bedrooms to 1 normal sized bedroom. With the tiny bedrooms, I had turned one into a closet and was loosing my closet moving into a bigger bedroom. I modified your plan to use custom cabinets to raise them to 40" and extended out 18" verses 15" (to fit a standard hanger). Each of the cupboard became a half closet! Thank you so much for sharing your idea!!

    You should keep a white wood panel inside of the crawl space so in case there is an intruder, you can hide in there and if they look inside the cabinet you can put the panel against the hole so it would look like an empty cabnet

    It will make the crawling space even lower, but I would make the matress slightly sink between the cabinets. It would look prettier IMO, more like a whole. +it would prevent the matress from sliding a bit away from the wall, wich would annoy me big time :P.

    • @CrackerFlower
      @CrackerFlower 9 лет назад +18

      +Fenke B I think sunk beds do look kind of cool but they pose 3 problems. My parents had a water bed those mattresses are usually sunk. Putting sheets on was a nightmare. Also, the comforter never sits nicely. Lastly, I remember my parents ALWAYS having a bruise or 2 on their shins and randomly hearing "ow!" as they crawled out of bed. It is so easy to hit yourself on the corners next to your mattress because the mattress sinks but the hard wood doesn't.

    • @Fenke1994
      @Fenke1994 9 лет назад +4

      That's another practical perspective that should be considerd.. Didn't think about the possibility of bruising against the edge :P

    • @princesskazzer
      @princesskazzer 9 лет назад +31

      +Fenke B you wouldn't have to completely sink the mattress to stop it from moving. You could slightly drop it so that the mattress has a frame around it, and it shouldn't be too hard to make the bed as you can still access the corners and sides, just gives it the support to stop it moving around.

    @susanrosi7023 8 лет назад +4

    Excellent work! You have re-set the bar for "How to Videos." I just have one design suggestion stemming from my own experience with storage beds, and that is to completely cover the bed slats with a light weight solid piece such as the decorative panel. My only disappointment with storage beds was how quickly saw dust and dirt drifts down through the slots and onto whatever is stored beneath them. My most recent solution to this problem was to tightly tack down a dust proof mattress cover that zipped along 3 sides to the corners and sides of the frame then installing the slats inside of it.

    Hi, I stumbled upon your video a few days ago and I decided to make one for myself.
    Though I didn't use your design exactly, my design was very much inspired by yours. I opted to make mine free standing and fit the queen size variety. There's even a bit of extra room on the platform for standing or if I decide to change the mattress orientation. It's ALMOST done, it just needs a few finishing touches here and there. I would love to share pictures of it with out when I have it 100% together.

    This is awesome, but I'd place the cabinets maybe under the mattress more so as to open up floor space and hide the edge... though the shelf created could also be useful... And I'd make up a pallet base for the mattress vs the centered beam. Too many issues with mattresses sagging after a couple years. Then, I'd also probably just do a solid platform and place a Japanese futon on top for sleeping. :)

      It would be amazing if they were. I wish I was taught to do things like this (I graduated last year). But classes are just the standard classes to prepare us for tests and that's all. We don't have any classes that can be used for life itself.

      Anna Tullison I totally agree with you. In my school in Sweden between the ages of 9-15 I had weekly cooking/baking sessions as well as handcrafts (half year with fabrics, the other half year with wood)

    Hello to you HandyDad 😊 I just wanna say, it’s been a tuff time, but we managed to pull it off!!! We used your amazing idea and we bought the IKEA cabinets but the 40” ones and combined other cabinets to create the stairs with storage and we created a high queen sized bunk bed with a playground/ full bed under the queen bed. Can I just say, it took us both 3 days, we spent $400 for everything and it was much worth it! I know there are bunk beds out there ready to go but they cost $600-$1k even more. But we managed to create such a beautiful bed I can’t even describe it. Thank you thank you thank you for the greatest idea!! You rock! 😉

      +lily no problems here. I like spiders. they eat the nasty mosquitos and other critters. if you don't bother them, they won't bother you. though really, it's a STORAGE AREA, so if you do get bit, you had no business turning it into a playhouse anyway! Centipedes are also good.
