This is a photo of my girls room. The bunk beds come apart and make 2 twin size beds. I used construction fir for these to save cost. I had to let the lumber dry out for a while till it was usable.
Once it was dry I ran it through the planner and jointer to square it up. I put a few coats of primer and enamel on it. I made the bed about 5 years ago and it has held up really well. As a side note I made the chest next to the head of the bed as a gift for my wife for valentines day the year before we got married.
I made this dresser for my girls to consolidate stuff trying to save space. Its also made of pine but its all furniture grade pine. I wanted a smooth shiny finish but was not happy with the finish of bed so I used white lacquer from Sherwin Williams. It was very easy to use and I got the hand rubbed finish I wanted. This does hold a lot of stuff but doesn't really save on the space.

This little jewel Is a Murphy Bed. While working for Peterson Builders I built this for a remodel we did. It was a fun project to build. I had to order the kit on line from Create-A-Bed.
The case is made from stain grade 3/4" plywood and the shelves are #2 pine with 1x6 T&G backs. I was able to build the whole thing in our shop and install it in the home like cabinetry.
