Let's kick off another matching bedroom furniture series! I've already done two of these, so why not do another??

Our guest bedroom has been sitting empty for a few months since we moved in, so I finally decided to start furnishing it...starting with a new bed!

I wanted something simple, but not boring, so I added an arched headboard to this otherwise pretty basic design and while it made things a bit more involved, it was still a pretty easy build, so I hope you enjoy watching it come together!
