Instructions:
1.-
Build the IKEA KURA bed.
2.-
You can mirror the staircase to the other side of the bed or however you like.
3.-
Place shelves on stair treads
4.-
To create the door. I secured a door post with long screws diagonally to the frame of the KURA Bed. You only need to install one side of the door, since the other is a bed beam.
5.-
Install the door. Make it with MDF material (Medium Density Board). Add two hinges to the door and secure it to the door frame.
6.-
To create the front of the Playhouse, including the window frame. First we make a skeleton frame with wooden beams (see frame drawing) and then I put wooden slats on the frame to make the front wall panel. In the middle, I left a space for the decorative window molding
7.-
Once you finish making the front of the Playhouse, you can install it on the bed. Secure the frame with the front wall panel to the bed with screws.
8-.
Paint with the chosen color. I used RAL 9016 white high gloss paint for all the main areas of the bed. And pink for the doors and windows.
9-.
Decorate in the way you like best. Inside, you can paste with Wallpaper. Above the window I added a curtain rail. You can also add a basket of flowers under the windowsill. On the side, a Victorian style support to hang a flower pot. You can also use other types of materials to create other interesting designs, as shown below:
