If you are looking to build your toddler's first bed you are in the right place. By choosing a Captain's Bed you will be able to make the best use of a small space.

My guess is that as you are reading this article, you know what a captain's bed is, unlike me a short while ago as I didn't have a clue. I came across them by accident as my wife & I were tired of falling over children's toys all over the floor.

You will obviously know that de-cluttering is the best way to get a tidy, organized life. However, if you are a parent that is easier said than done. Any home with children seems to have plenty of toys, books & clothes to keep tidy.If you don't want to throw good quality stuff away that may come in handy as hand me downs,looking for great storage options is the best solution.

I don't consider my DIY skills to be too bad & as I wanted to make the best possible use of space in our toddler's bedroom, decided to get myself some Captain's Bed Plans. For optimum storage space I raised the bed on a platform high enough to get plenty of drawers underneath. We can now store enough stuff to save getting a small wardrobe that would have taken up much needed floor space.

As captain's beds are so useful they can be placed anywhere to store clothes, bed linen & anything else you want out of the way. Some people use them in guest rooms, others anywhere that space is at a premium.

By building your own bed it's possible to put drawers, chests or trunks underneath, which makes Captain's Bed Plans an ideal way to solve your storage problems. Many find woodworking projects an enjoyable hobby, you too could create a stylish piece of furniture just as I did.
