I will start my review by just simply saying I LOVE THE BED that Dianne's hubby Rick made! I knew when I saw it for sale that it would look great in my 1930 colonial home. When I learned Rick is a finish carpenter who has amazing skills and really knows his craft, my husband jumped at the chance to buy this for the kiddies.

I asked for the bed to be left unfinished so that I could paint it to match all the trim and doors in my home which are painted in Benajamin Moore "Navajo White" a color that I really love with the wide mouldings in our home.

I received the bed in less than a week and there was no damage in shipment. The bed was beautifully made and sanded -- fine craftsmanship with detailed features and dove tailed corners. The bed was sanded so well that it could be immediately painted.

It isn't quite finished yet. We primed it with latex primer, added two coats of latex paint, and one coat of polyurethane. It will need one more coat of polyurethane before really finished but I wanted to get this review up now. I also have not made a pillow for it yet, but I have plans for a minky shag pillow in baby pink and am just finding the time to do it. I will supplement w/ more photos later.

Here is the bed...with my messy dogs who need baths and hair cuts!

Thank you so much Dianne and Rick!
