 Free Queen or King Sized Chelsea Platform Bed plans - This beauty is inspired by the Potterybarn Chelsea Collection (allegedly) and will hold a Queen Sized Mattress with the Storage Unit and a King sized mattress without the storage unit. This plan is for the platform bed portion, and the plans for the storage unit have also been done (plans for the storage unit can be found here), so you can pick your poison! I would like to mention that this project can be modified to taste, kind of like food... Choose bun feet, decorative legs like what I show in the image above, or perhaps a more spindly leg...opt for molding instead of 1x2 trim, decrease the width of the perimeter boards, add half or quarter round trim to the edge of the perimeter, this is entirely up to you! This is meant to be adaptable to fit your homes decor and furniture style. You will have these options all the way through this collection as far as trim style and the level of decorative features you choose to add. The diagram below is the view from underneath and shows the attachment of the Bottom Boards (yellow) to the Frame. Use 1 1/4 inch Screws or your Kreg Jig on a 3/4 setting to fasten boards together. The bottom boards are set 1/4 inch down from the edge (technically the bottom edge though in this diagram it appears as if the top edge) of the frame.
