I loved the accent wall, will definitely try it in my daughter's room

@shumailaqureshi8609 Рік тому

My daughter’s room is just like yours with windows placement and the dimensions also. I am glad I came across your video. Its very easy. Thank you.

I love how she put herself up there before she put her kids up there

When I saw the sponges I was nervous (the 90s) but it looks so cool! I never would have thought to do that. The whole room is gorgeous!

@beingmariammofficial 2 роки тому

This is such a creative and fun space for your l.o!! I’m definitely gonna try this out, I saw a loft bed I really liked at pottery barn but it was over $2500! Your video is giving me the confidence to try and build it myself 💕🙏🏼

@carlosrocha7167 Рік тому

Really the best option to make the room bigger. well done. Just one small but important detail, the steps of the ladder need to readjust the high. That last one is to high, shouldt be at the same level of the bed, to make the climbing easier. Please tell me if i am wrong. congratulations for your work.

@heathercammack1656 Рік тому

Thanks for the tip. I want to redo the ladder into a possible staircase as the loft is a popular attraction for younger visitors.

You are right, and very kind to mention such an important safety consideration.

I’m going to do this for our lil girl. In 2024 it’s probably gonna cost a fortune

@ISmellLikeBeefandCheese 2 місяці тому

I just got all the lumber to build one yesterday, at Home Depot, plus carpet to cover the top (under mattress) cost 150$ assuming you have your own tools

@TheDragon07 Рік тому

Awesome! Exactly the idea I had for my boys bedroom. One question, have you noticed any ventilation issues with the mattress sitting flat on the loft?

@lauriepayseur5897 11 місяців тому

I thought the same thing. I would likely buy the slatted system like at IKEA or somethings like that. We sleep hot and that can cause mold to grow. But GREAT BUILD IDEAS

@heathercammack1656 4 місяці тому

We haven't had any issues 👍

@Sarah-Collen 8 місяців тому

Heather, I love this bed. Can you tell me what the width of your room is? I'm trying to figure out if I need bigger timber for the span. Thank you Sarah

@heathercammack1656 4 місяці тому

I would use 2x6 or 2x8 if I built it again. I think our room is only 10ft wide.

@hawaiidogs9277 Рік тому

@dianabugarini2441 Рік тому

loved the transformation! What's the distance from the loft to the ceiling?

@heathercammack1656 Рік тому

It's a couple feet. Enough for our child sit up with extra headspace.

@MaloMadamn Рік тому

In this case, would a window guard be needed, or does your kid not fit through the space? I'm asking bc I would like to imitate this and I too have a window that might block some of the projects. Would you suggest a window guard or does it not affect the space and safety?

@heathercammack1656 Рік тому

She wouldn't fit through the space, so it hasn't been an issue for us. That's a good point though if you have a larger window.

@jouayang5849 Рік тому

How wide is the room? Looking to do something similar for my son but wasn’t sure if a center post/ ladder would be needed .

@heathercammack1656 Рік тому

The room is about 11ft, but also my daughter on the top bunk is a small 6yr old so the support is adequate for her. You can upgrade to a 2x6 or even 2x8

@yazzidiamonds5859 Місяць тому

Could you help me out a little I am wanting to do this for my daughter, but I also want it be able to be used if an adult would like to go up there to your thoughts on support for this would be so extremly grateful for

@jonfloate3891 Рік тому

Love it! What the heck happened to the bike?? lol

@Libraxbruja 2 роки тому

How much did you wood supplies cost to build?

@heathercammack1656 2 роки тому

I think it was around 200 but we spent $50 of that on the carpeting which is optional

@matthewcoombs1695 Рік тому

How wide did the room span?

@heathercammack1656 Рік тому

Just under 10 feet.

@i.can.sew.anythingchic3295 Рік тому

How much did I cost?

@cierras4731 2 роки тому

How tall are your ceilings?

@heathercammack1656 2 роки тому

8 ft

@katharineshade9550 Рік тому

Absolutely beautiful! You could give them more room by not having such a big bed underneath - does a small child really need such a big bed, particularly in such a small room shared with a sibling? Where do they put all their stuff? I'm not sure if it's an American thing, but I was in single bed until my early 20s. My 14 year old is finding a single bed a bit cramped now, so we'll look at getting a double.. I really like the patterning on the wall too :)

@heathercammack1656 Рік тому

This doubles as our guest room so we need the queen bed.

@tkalskate 5 місяців тому

I dont know how long those nails can hold the whole bed. I would build atleast two pillars for extra support

@heathercammack1656 2 місяці тому

The screws held perfectly. If this was made to hold adults extra support may be necessary. I just took the bed down as we are moving kids around and this bed was a beast to take apart. It was still very solid after two years of use.
