Essential Platform Bed Frame

Reader submitted photo

Getting mattresses off the floor is essential to bedroom form and function.  A bed frame creates the room structure, makes it easy to make the bed, and differentiates the mattress from the floor. 

For about the cost of a box spring or metal bed frame, you can build a wood bed frame that removes the need for a bed skirt.  A wood bed frame is much more beautiful, adds texture to the room design, and is sturdy and substantial.

In this free plan, I'll show you how to build a wood bed frame using dimensional lumber (ie 2x4s) and two power tools: a drill and a saw to cut the wood.  

Matching Headboard

This bed frame is designed to work with a variety of headboards, and we have also designed a headboard that matches this bed frame perfectly.  Free plans for the matching headboard are here.

This bed was designed and built in partnership with my friend Whitney at Shanty2Chic. Please take a second to stop over and visit Whitney at Shanty2Chic for lots more details and photos on this bed.

DiResta The Making it Podcast Table Collaboration

In this video you watch me make my portion of the collaboration between my friends Bob Clagett and David Picciuto. We’ve been doing a podcast together for nearly 8 years called Making it. Together we make three parts of this table that comes together to create a 24 inch round 24 inch high table that we will gift to one of the patrons of our Podcast! Thank You all for the love and respect and thank you to Bob and Dave for being with me every Friday morning for the last eight years!

Simple Lift Top Storage Bed

Why a Lift Top Bed?

A lift top bed is an easy way to create maximum storage in a bedroom, without the bed appearing complicated with storage drawers or shelves.  

• The storage is not as easy to access as a drawer, but with the assist of the lift top hardware, it is not difficult. 
• This becomes a great place to store out of season items, extra blankets, or just things that you don't need everyday but can't part with.
• There is also more storage in a lift top bed than a traditional captains bed or storage bed, since the entire inside of the bed is accessible.
• This bed is actually pretty easy to build too - much easier than a bed with drawers or shelves.
• It does become cumbersome to move into a room when fully completed, so do consider how you will move the bed into the room before final assembly.

Why I Built This Bed

A few years back we built a tiny house and everything inside it.  Here's the link to the loft system with bed and storage video and project and  the Tiny House series if you want to catch up.

Instead of a sofa, I decided to use the foot of a bed as seating. 

The bed can be pulled fully out and becomes a full size bed.  So basically, it's a trundle bed, but it is never fully pushed under the main bed.

To create storage for the bedding, the trundle bed is actually a lift top storage bed.

Here's the video on how we built it and use it -
