Feb 27 2008I Really Want One Bad: BookShelf Bed Fort
Let's be honest, if you didn't make forts out of blankets and pillows when you were a kid then you're either lying or had the shittiest childhood ever. And now, since you can use power tools and build things -- you can construct a sweet adult version. Built to store books and other knick-knacks, this "Uroko House" surrounds a bed and I really, really want one. I'm going to be moving soon, and since I'm not really good with tools, I was wondering if someone might come over and make one for me. I'd be more than happy to pay you with, you know, shout-outs on Geekologie. I'd offer something else, but my ex took everything in the divorce. And I mean everything. "What kind of a sick bitch takes the ice cube trays out of the freezer?"
A ton of pictures of the construction from start to finish after the jump.

I dunno...for an adult it'd be only kind of cool unless you didn't have a bedroom and needed some privacy. Otherwise it seems to take up a lot of room. It'd be SWEET for kid's bedroom though....

I think that bed is terrific but my son wouldn't want it - I am the only one nerdy enough to have read all those books as a child. **20,000 Leagues Under The Sea**

That was on TV the other day, Arnold is not as funny without the cursing.

yer like the phrase used from the arnie movie - true lies, about the ice cube trays, very touching.

i hate to point out the faults, but...
1. no airflow around the bed means it would be totally hot and stuffy.
2. books wouldn't still be on the shelves after a pretty average sexual encounter.
but the awesome thing about this is that i could build it in the corner of my office, under the guise of file storage, and then sneak in there for after lunch naps...

This is awesome!
Too bad I don't have a room big enougn in the house to support something like that. It's a nice little cubbyhole to get away from everything and read or write...
