This weekend my husband and I got an urge to build something. We decided to make a daybed to put in a corner of our living room that wasn’t getting much use. We drew up the plans, quickly headed out to Lowe’s, bought some 2 x 4’s, brackets, nuts and bolts and came home and got started. $50 later we had built my new favorite place in our house!
I made the mattress cover using MADE’s fitted sheet tutorial. I just adjusted the size for a twin mattress rather than crib sheet. I still need to make more pillows, but I’m having a hard time finding patterns that match well with that lovely Joel Dewberry print on the curtain. Any suggestions?
Here’s how it looks in the corner of our living room. It’s such a great use of space! Perfect for curling up with a good book, or using as extra seating or sleeping arrangements when we have guests over.
My husband created up the artwork and I just love it! I think it’s perfect for the space and the colors really work nicely with the fun lighting and fabrics.
Ok, back to lazy lounging on the daybed!!

So warm and inviting – great job! And someone, or more, is a musician – love it.
Wow!! What a gorgeous space, S&L!! love the colors, the lighting, the art, it really “makes the bed” : )
I’m feeling inspired to recreate in mini now for Uly’s new bed in my upstairs office/nursery.
most excellent work!
Great work. S & L Construction Company. Great feel to the room!
Oh I love that idea! You guys are so handy. And I also really like the armoire in the corner. What a beautiful – and functional piece!
So cool! I just love that chandelier!
It looks awesome!!! Come build one at our house!!!
I am very impressed! Looks so good! Now I need to plan my next visit and I will have a real bed to sleep in!
Love the bed. I would probably make a mattress cover so cover the legs and hide things I put under it. It look really comfortable. Lights WOW

Great job! It looks so cozy. And that light is dreamy.
I really want to make something similar to this daybed. How high is the frame? Thank you! 🙂
Thanks for the compliment! The frame is 17″ off the ground.
