Flash forward too many years and 3 kids later and I'm a lot older and little wiser.
I now understand why my mom told us not to jump on the bed. Two words,... broken springs.
I've also learned that a six year old who climbs in your bed in the middle of the night, takes up more mattress real estate than a full grown man.
So, with tax refund on it's way, and President's Day sales in full swing, we bought a new mattress set just a few weeks ago. We even upgraded and got a King. It is glorious. However, there is one tiny problem. This upgrade has left us without a frame or headboard. And there is only one solution for that.

DIY it.
But what to build?
I really like this farmhouse bed from Pottery Barn.
Here are some similar ones with plans.
