Wow! what a stylish and space-saving sleeping solution!
Happy kids and awesome parents. What a beautiful build!
Great execution of an elegant design. Bravo!
That looks amazing! You are a really talented dad. You did every single detail. Your kids must be so lucky and happy to have you.
Well done! Thanks for sharing and the ideas. Planning my boys twin over full right now. I can’t wait to build it!
It's wonderful for men to have a know-how in something practical around the house! Keep it up buddy!!!
This is satisfying to watch every step of how it was built! You guys did and amazing job! I wish I can do something like this for my kids.
This is so awsome...You guys are so blessed to have each other....😊
That's pretty awesome. I like this design for my space, though instead of the full sized bed I'm probably going to either leave it open for play or a desk. This got the gears turning!
I've looked at a hell of a lot videos to get ideas for the build, I've settled on you, great work!
Thanks, man! I went through a similar process before deciding on a design, eventually combined a bunch of elements into what you see here.
Works out of a loving heart.
That is very, VERY cool!! Excellent work!
Thanks, we had a lot of fun doing it!
very nice - If I build these I'll make a few changes - both beds would be full size - you can never have enough extra sleeping space !! Great job, I'm sure the boys are thrilled
that is 1 absolute determination from the DAD part. REally like the way this human doing it yourserlf(DIY) and let the kids knows the real meaning of efforts
beautiful craftmanship!
An absolute stunning job ! Big kudos to you, I'm sure the kids will love this. Thank you so much for this video, I'm gonna use this as a reference for a similar project. 👌👌👌
Excellent, good luck!
My fiancé and I want to do something like this for our future kids (we want 3) and this was so entertaining and educative! Great job and your kids are so cute!
Awesome video john.. Good effort 👍 Keep it up
What a talented and loving set of parents to create something so special for their beautiful children! So impressive! Really incredible work, and a testament to your partnership!
Thank you!

It looks cozy and amazing!! One quick question. What are the dimensions of the room?
Tidy work, 👌
Wow, and great team work all for three precious little gifts from God.
God bless hi From Azerbaijan super result
Lovely ❤️
The joy of children’s laughter…
Hi, I’ve learned a lot from your video, thanks for sharing. May I ask if you are using untreated timber or treated? Would you have concern if using treated interior framing timber? Thanks.
I used all untreated lumber, but I don’t think it would cause a problem for the internal framing to be treated.
@@wizard_of_eyes thank you for the comment. All the best.
Hermosas sonrisas de felicidad, your kids are so cute and very happy👏
¡Gracias, lo han disfrutado!
I like the stairs instead of the traditional ladder.
Lovely job . Loved seeing the kids reaction ! Now , if only You lived in Texas as , so I can hire you ?
Thanks! Sorry, not in Texas, nor am I a professional!
This is fantastic. Did you, by chance, sketch up some plans for this? I'd love to reference them for the bunk beds I plan to build for my daughter.
@John Green Did you get my e-mail address? I've been keeping an eye out for a message.
Gold job
very nice...
Hi! This is amazing. Would you share measurements?
amazing!
Thank you!
how much was it total without the extra stuff just the wood a build?
About $500.
This is beautiful!! We want to try this in a playroom. Do you have your plans or a blog posted somewhere with supplies?!
Thank you for the nice compliment! I sketched my plans with pencil and paper based on the ceiling height of 9 ft. I do not have any detailed plans or a material list for the project posted anywhere on the internet (I don't have a blog). If there is interest, I could post a video about how I calculated the materials needed and the dimensions to fit the room.
Awesome job Dad... my very 1st question was how low are the lights, and then lil Miss kicked it when she jumped back.
S A N T I A G O
Great build! Looking to build something similar, but I know it won't be as awesome! Did you ever end up adding a hand rail for the stairs? Seems it would be a safety/code issue. Again, great work!
Thanks! No handrail, I didn’t think it was necessary.
Awesome job! Would you happen to have a materials list?
Sorry, but I don’t. Most of it is cabinet grade 1/2” plywood. The trim on the front is 3/4”. The shelves are made with 1x4s, the frames of the bed with 2x4s.
Great job! Which material did you put on top of the wood framing? MDF? Plywood? I am currently building a bunk bed and was going to drywall over but what you covered with look much better and easier.
I used plywood but MDF would have worked great as well. The plywood gives the structure stability (and durability). I worry that drywall wouldn’t be strong enough.
I just used your video to make my own bed for my daughter. I’m having the hardest time finding lights like yours that have switches on the fixture. Where did you get yours?
Thanks! I believe we bought it from Home Depot online. Not sure if it’s still there. If you Google “wall sconce with switch,” you’ll find some options. I wound up switching it to a closed type, because one of my sons started taking out the bulb and I didn’t want them to get electrocuted.
Cool !
I live this! I just have a concern regarding the method you are holding up the top bunk, I saw just one screw going in, how did you secure the top bunk to the frame?
I secured it with screws through each of the upright 2x4s. I had to countersink the screws to allow them to reach the twin frame through the long side of the upright 2x4.
Wowww amazing
Thank you!!
Looks nice but the mom in me see the gaps in the railing are to wide. Change out those lights for something flush to the wall and enclosed and that ceiling fan 🤯
I'm thinking of doing a couple of loft beds fir my kids, did you attach the bed frame to wall? Might seem like a silly question but thought I would ask
Yes I attached it to the the wall with just a few screws to help with stability, and it made it rock stable.
Awesome! I'd pay for those plans sir :)
Thanks, but I don’t have any!
Awesome work. What do you estimate cost of materials to be for this and how ling did it take you to finish ?
It cost about $500-600 and it took 2 weeks. I built it during the initial COVID lockdown in 2020, so I had a lot of extra time.
@@wizard_of_eyes Awesoem work. Thanks for the reply and thanks for getting back to me.
@@wizard_of_eyes do you happen to have building plans for this project ?
@@505rokks Sorry, I don't have any real design drawings. I scribbled some dimensions on paper as I was building it, but that's all. I measured the height of the ceiling and the thickness of the mattresses and did the math to ensure both beds would have the same amount of space above the mattress. I measured the length and width of the mattresses and added a few inches to the openings so that they wouldn't fit too tightly and it would be easy to change the sheets. I guessed on the width of the stairs, which are 19" wide, and they are comfortable for kids or adults to climb without feeling too tight. The shelves are about 17" wide.
‘Understood the assignment’ 🏆
nice
Great
How many days did you spend on this? So amazing
Thanks! About 2 weeks. I built it during COVID lockdown, so I was able to work on it for 6+ hours per day.
I got a kick out of all the "hee hee heeing," from the kids!
How did u make the satirs? Can you share a video about it too :)
Sorry, my camera cut off while I was cutting the staircase. I marked out the steps and cut a 2x12 with a circular saw (Skilsaw). I had to do some math to determine the rise and depth of the stairs.
Wow beautiful, Is it possible to get the Plans
Thanks! Unfortunately I don't have any plans for it, didn't use any. I think I wrote down a few dimensions in earlier comments, though.
home sweet home
Any chance you have blue prints, or did you just create it as you went?
I mostly just created it as I went along. I made a couple sketches on paper and made a few calculations for dimensions, but there were no real plans.
Love this. Where are you located?
Thanks! Sorry, I’m not in Texas.
excellent video but you should be careful with the kids when that ceiling fan is turned on.... i would remove that fan or relocate it.
They will survive it.
Any plans? My 5 year old said he wants these beds
Sorry, I don’t have any plans. I just made the dimensions to fit the space. (Same amount of head space above each bed. Stairs are 19” wide. I left a couple inches of room around the edges of the mattresses to make it easier to change the sheets.)
Can you open the stair steps for storage?
The second step flips up and the kids can crawl inside it. I guess the answer is yes, because lately they have taken to storing their 5,000 stuffed animals inside it! I built the stairs in a way that I could create drawers under each stair in the future if I wanted to.
@@wizard_of_eyes that seems like it’d be even more storage. I hate the wasted space of some stairs, when we remodeled our kitchen, I turned the coat closet into a long walk in pantry/storage underneath the rounded stairs. Great looking project!
Shore do wish you'd deign to draw up plans.
Diy as long as you have your own carpentry shop in your garage.
Haha, touché!
Goood👍
Great! Have design drawings to share? Would be possible?
Sorry, I don’t have any real design drawings. I scribbled some dimensions on paper as I was building it, but that’s all.

@@wizard_of_eyesThanks Much! great work

very nice perminate structure. What happens when they become teenagers?
Thanks! It’s a standard twin and full size mattress, so they are large enough for teenagers or even adults.
What was the project price?
About $500-600, I think.
Do you have the plans?
No, I just sketched a few dimensions on some paper, but didn’t really follow any plans.
How much was the build
About $500-600 but that was in 2020 before lumber prices went up.
Why no storage under the stairs (or under the full bed)? Seems like wasted space
I initially planned to do exactly that, but decided not to. With a box spring under the full size mattress, there is actually only 3 inches between the box spring and the floor. I could have added drawers in the place where the box spring is, but construction of the drawers would have added a lot of time to the project. I also considered adding drawers under each one of the stairs, but decided to make it a “hideout” for the kids. (See picture at the very end of the video). They love playing in there. I figured I could go back and add drawers in those places in the future, but we didn’t really need the storage and I wanted to finish the project quickly. It only took 2 weeks to do during quarantine.
@@wizard_of_eyes oh nice.. Didn't see the pictures at the end and thought it was just dead space. Hideout was definitely a good call
Round total estimate ????
About $500-$600, but that was in 2020 before lumber prices rose.
You need to replace the ceiling fan
Thank you for your input.
kids are kids. Giggling and jumping .

change the lights to kid lights
