I recently designed and built a custom built-in bunk bed for my nephew. I pretty much had complete freedom over the design, but he did have a few requests. He wanted it to be green, have built-in shelves, lights, and a desk. And of course a ladder – maybe one of the most important features of a bunk bed.

My daughter found a headboard for her college bedroom that she really liked. Naturally, she asked me if I could build it for her. And of course, I couldn’t say no. It’s a simple design that is very easy to build, and in this tutorial, I’m going to show you exactly how to do it!
