HGTV Dream Home 2013 Daybed

The HGTV Dream Home 2013 daybed mattress measures 38” x 75” long; to accommodate this size a 39” x 76” platform was constructed. This project will be based on those dimensions.

Step 4

Using wood glue and nails and working 1/2 inch from the top edge of the 2x6s, attach 1 1/2" wood strips along the inside edge of the frame. After the wood strips are attached, take a measurement of the inside platform. The dimensions should be approximately 73" x 36" or large enough to accommodate the 1/2-inch piece of plywood.

Step 5

Glue and screw an 8" wood block in each inside frame corner against the 39" boards. Working out 6 inches from each end and on center, drill a 1/2-inch hole in each 2x6 and through the blocks. Insert a 1/2" eye bolt with washer in each hole.
