"C" is for Clubhouse Bed

Build: clubhouse bed

The building plans will be coming soon are here from Ana White but I just couldn't wait to share:

Inspired by Pottery Barn's Eli Fort Bed:

I even added the 'SURFBOARDS' sign to complete the knock off:

To see how I made the sign click here.

Perhaps underneath the loft bed is the best part:

And when you close the curtains:

You have the perfect hide out:

I attached the curtains with simple rods hooked through giant screw eyes:

And I used a navy and white chevron fabric:

Premiere Prints zig zag from fabric.com.  

They have great prices and free shipping if you spend $35.

I also added some curtain tie backs with velcro for the kids:

Cut 2" strip of fabric and velcro pieces:

Press fabric in half and then press raw edge in, straight stitch closed and stitch on velcro:

Screw directly to 2x4 inner leg:

Much more tidy looking

I added some long outdoor cushions, fabric bunting and the cutest little red stool:

The stool is built from Ana White's plans here.

This clubhouse bed was truly built for buddy boy so I made him a special sign:

But as soon as my girls saw it they went to make their own 'NO BOYS ALLOWED' sign, at least they're keeping busy with the new bed!
