DIY Loft Bed

It was time to get Sophie into a big girl bed! We spent about $100 on the lumber, and we already had the paint from the bedside tables. Pretty simple and quick project, and could easily be accomplished by someone else in a weekend. Please let me know if you made something similar, saw something I could have done better, or want to share other ideas. Thanks for watching.

This is the list of stuff I used as I can best recall:
3 8' 2x6 (frame)
2 8' 2x4 (ladder)
10 6' 1x4 (for slats)
1 2x3 (inside cleat)
1 6' oak 1x4 (long rail)
1 4' oak 1x4 (short rail)
2 4' oak 1x2 (rail supports)

These Lag Screws for anchoring to the wall and for frame construction:

Regular 8x2 interior construction screws for the railing to the sides and the cleat

Pocket Hole Screws for the ladder rungs.

For the lights underneath, I used this:

We also used cabinet grade paint for the color, but I'm sure plenty of other stuff will work just fine.
