stoic bunk bed turns into ...
... sexy seating for two! wow!
andrew says that "the frame is basically complete here. made it more sturdy than was necessary. head and foot board from the hemnes day bed were used to create the backs of the banquette.i covered the frame by cutting up the main back piece from the hemnes daybed set. provides a nice uniform look. added some moulding around the bottom and covered the seats. some people have asked if the whole thing was bought in a kit!"
if only!andrew completed the look with an ikea docksta table - after trimming the table top from 40" down to 30" to fit the space perfectly.
simply cozy.
love it. love it. love it.

Ingenious indeed!
ReplyDeleteawesome! love the colour scheme! great job!
ReplyDeleteWow. Super nice.
ReplyDeleteAnd did I mention that I think this is totally genius?
Best part though is the flickr link with instructions - man, I wish my clients and everyone I worked with were as smart as this concept and perfect example of true information sharing.
"Andrews's Daybed Turned Banquette" is also the first place winner in my soon to be annouced "Go Ahead, Make My Blog" awards.
Again, good thinking!

That's Right!

I am having a problem with the docksta table I just bought-it is so wobbly-what should I do to make it sturdy?
ReplyDeleteWow! I love it... custom built furniture at a low, low retail price point -- though I'm sure it took some time to piece together and get everything to fit "just right."
ReplyDeleteLove the way it turned out. Fits perfectly with the rest of the house.
ReplyDeleteI am going out on a total whim here... I am missing a part from the daybed, and I don't think you need it anymore. Would you still have the metal bar that keeps the wooden planks in place? If yes, please consider giving/selling it to me?
ReplyDeleteThank you!

This is fabulous & engenious! You've left me inspired to create!
ReplyDeleteIs it possible to remove just one side of the day bed? The wall on one side I'd really like removed to use as more of a corner bed. How could this be done?
ReplyDeleteYou're amazing. :D I'm thinking of getting this daybed. Looks awesome as a bed and banquette.
ReplyDeletethis is awesome.
ReplyDeleteI wish you had avideo on this project.
Absolutely ingenious
