Here is the headboard. He put it together in only a few hours. I was/am very impressed.
The price of the bed did jump when Nate just HAD to get himself this new toy. I'm told it came in handy and will be used for lots of fun projects in the future.
Working on the footboard.
The project then got put on hold while all the summer plans took precedence. Finally Nate pulled it back out after school started. We decided to add crown molding which turned into somewhat of a nightmare, but now that it's done, we love the look. Allie couldn't wait to help Daddy paint.
Putty and sanding-oh the joy. 
Kayla and Allie helped prime all the pieces, but then they weren't allowed to help with the high gloss paint. They were BIG helpers who did a very good job.
I guess Allie got to paint the underside of the box while Nate worked on the parts that would show. 
This morning instead of getting anybody ready for the day, we started by tearing down the old bed. I sadly forgot to get a picture of the old stuff. Kayla helped Daddy attach the box to the headboard.
Look at her hammer! 
TADA!!! 
I've been collecting things to hang on the walls. I used Amy's Cricuit for the saying. (more on that later) I LOVE how it all came together. We still have another wall to do, but I couldn't wait to post this stuff.
The finished look. Isn't it wonderful? Can you believe Nate did that? I am so lucky to be married to such a handy man.
Also sometime in August Nate made me this little bench one afternoon. Amazing! I need to get some more magazine boxes at Ikea (they are soooo cheap there) and add some cute ribbon to the ends of them, but I'm loving it even now. 
Thank you sweetie!!!!!!!!!!!!
