Tiny's Kitchen Table: cool find #3

I've been so busy I totally forgot that today is Friday. Now we don't have cable so I watch Project Runway over at lifetime.com So after this post I will be going to watch PR.

On to my cool find. This one I found at Ikea Hackers. WE love shopping at Ikea. My oldest daughter Miss-N is going into her second semester of college, so we decided to give her the basement. I had wanted to give it to the boys since there are 3 of them sharing a room, but decided to give it to miss-N seeing that she is 18, working and going to school. Sorry for rambling back to the cool find.

We plan on making this for her bed. It's made out of 2 expedit bookcases and a bed slate. They used a full size bed, but we are going to use a twin size bed. After measuring her bed and using the measurements from IKEA, it might be possible for us to go with out the slate. We haven't decided yet, I guess we will see once we have the bookcases on hand. It helps with storage or even clothing, you can use that space for almost anything. Its a great idea. Check out the site. Tons of ideas as to how to use IKEA furniture in different ways.
Even if you just shopping at their clearance section.

Tiny did your son ever look at the Ana-White site? I think they have plans for a bed with storage under it. Similar to like what you have pictured. Though if you REALLY want to do it on the cheap (meaning inexpensive) you could buy milk crates (placed on their sides) & put plywood on top of the milk crates & then put the mattress on the plywood. My brothers did this WAY BACK in the 70's! you can get baskets or softsided boxes from Target to go IN the milk crates for storage. Much cheaper than buying anything. Even in the clearance isle. You could probably even get those crates free!

She just might like that idea with the milk crates, I will tell her about it. I did mention the Ana-White to my husband to see if its something he could make. He said that he could make it, but seeing that he is really busy with work I don't know if he will have time. Maybe I could give it a shot. I like the milk crate idea it sure is the cheapest way to go. Thanks for the idea Sam.
