Would you believe this upholstered bed was DIY-ed in a weekend with basic skills most any of us have? Bed frames can be so pricey, (in addition to the mattress), so we really took notice when we saw this:
Made by Big Box Detox, the bed was put together according to the directions provided by Ana White. Ana's instructions are thorough and would help even the most tool-challenged of us through the experience step-by-step.
See more of the bed and read about the experience of making it over at Big Box Detox.

I don't know if this is just a site error, or a problem with MY browser ... but, where are the images of the bed? I already went to the site and checked it out, but I would think that we'd want pictures HERE too =)
I can't see the images either!
I was having problems with the pictures yesterday, but now it seems to have been fixed. Unfortunately it was looking better in my imagination before I actually saw it. I think I just really don't like that fabric choice.
good work, but what an unfortunate fabric choice.
I think this is great - I could see myself doing this...
...and the fabric she chose is lovely (the bedding isn't doing it any favors tho)
Gotta love Ana White. Nice job. Love the fabric, but agree about the bedding.
I think the fabric is very fresh looking and would look beautiful with all white linens on the bed.
Love this! I just finished a post on upholstered beds for kids: http://dreamingofjune.com/upholstered-beds-for-a-boy-or-girl/
But now I think I want one!
