LOFT PROJECT #3: Кровать из паллет

00:04
Hello All! Welcome to Fancy smth and this is Loft Project!
00:07
My own project where I create a loft style in one bedroom apartment
00:11
And what do you think is gonna be this time?
00:12
1!
00:13
2!
00:14
3!
00:15
A pallet bed!
00:16
LISTEN Even if i had millions of dollars
00:19
I wouldn’t still buy a bed,
00:21
I would do it myself
00:22
cause I like it so much!
00:24
It’s so stylish.
00:26
I hope you like it as well,
00:28
make sure to comment what you think.
00:30
So how I found those pallets…
00:31
Regarding the question how to find
00:34
an actual new pallet —
00:35
the thing is, here we don’t have
00:37
shops selling clean brand new pallets,
00:38
they are actually never sold as an item
00:40
and just come with cargos.
00:41
So just head to craigslist
00:43
or something like that
00:45
to buy palettes from people
00:47
willing to sell them.
00:49
And you can even choose
00:50
how worn out you want the pallets to be
00:52
since they were all actually used by people.
00:53
So we bought 8 pallets
00:54
and it cost us…
00:56
1 dollar
00:57
Quite clean, compared to the others I’ve seen.
01:00
And I think that’s a pretty good deal
01:02
if you ask me, so I was really happy.
01:03
And we asked our friend to help us
01:06
cause our car fit only 3 pieces.
01:09
So when we got ‘em to our place,
01:10
I cleaned them and, actually,
01:13
they were not really dirty,
01:14
but I still did it.
01:15
Then sanded it with sandpaper.
01:22
We decided to make a bed
01:24
measured 160 cm by 200 cm
01:25
I think it’s a pretty comfortable size,
01:27
not the biggest, and if it’s smaller
01:29
it will just feel too narrow.
01:31
If it’s bigger —
01:32
well we can’t really afford that
01:34
cause then it will take the whole room.
01:35
So watch my video
01:37
to see how we cut it,
01:39
how many centimeters we cut off and so on.
01:42
Of course you can use any pallets
01:45
but I specifically wanted the euro pallets
01:48
because they have
01:51
this cool burned seal on the side.
01:53
I didn’t want any other pallets
01:55
but with these seals.
01:56
Now measure 20 cm
01:58
and saw it from the top
01:59
and the bottom.
02:01
Repeat the step with all of the pallets.
02:03
Woah, look at these nails.
02:05
And yes, we’ll need nails
02:06
just like that,
02:07
but new ones.
02:08
Now remove the nails
02:09
from the transversal pallet,
02:10
we’ll need it later.
02:13
And here’s what you should have.
02:16
You want to save these details too,
02:18
because…
02:22
we put them where the saw cuts are.
02:34
Now nail them down with long nails
02:37
Make sure to hold the details from below
02:38
cuz they slip due to vibration.
02:41
Put the second pallet
02:42
and nail them down too.
02:46
Ta daa
02:46
what a beautyyyy!
02:56
Of course making a pallet bed
02:58
is not as easy as making
03:00
a pallet coffee table,
03:02
so you may need someone
03:04
who works out at the gym.
03:05
When it comes to the colour of our bed,
03:10
I decided to leave it as it is ad applied
03:15
a coat of a matte transparent lacquer
03:20
just so nothing clings on the bed
03:28
when climbing it.
03:31
So, reporting from now,
03:33
all is good,
03:34
we haven’t had any thorns or splinters.
03:36
So as you can see,
03:37
as long as you are responsible,
03:39
attentive, not lazy
03:40
and make sure to properly sand everything off,
03:42
cuz you do it for yourselves,
03:44
you shouldn’t have any problems.
03:46
I don’t know about the prices where you live,
03:48
but I bought 1 litre of matte lacquer
03:49
for 80 cents to be exact.
03:50
And to that price add the cost of nails and staples.
03:54
Put any mattress you want
03:56
And now i’m gonna show you how I make the bed.
04:44
Guys! As you can see,
04:45
this idea doesn’t cost much.
04:47
My husband and I like sleeping on a harder surface,
04:49
so this bed is perfect, the mattress is perfect.
04:52
Keep in mind that the stiffness of the bed
04:54
doesn’t depend on the bed itself,
04:55
but the mattress.
04:56
So those who like to sleep on a harder surface
04:59
buy a stiff mattress
05:02
and those who would prefer sleeping
05:04
in a soft bed,
05:06
can use a puffier mattress
05:08
on a softer side with springs
05:10
with springs and all the bells and whistles.
05:11
SO it all depends on the mattress.
05:12
AAAnd i also wanted to give you a little hint.
05:14
We are actually not done completely with the bed.
05:19
We have the base,
05:21
but we also need a headboard,
05:23
so write down in the comments your suggestions
05:26
what kind of headboard you’d like to see
05:28
and what material it should be made of.
05:30
I’ll be really interested in reading your ideas,
05:33
maybe your ideas will coincide with mine.
05:35
And that’s it!
05:36
We are done!
05:37
Go ahead and comment
05:39
how you like our bed
05:40
and guess what the headboard is gonna be like.
05:42
Thank you for watching, kisses to you all, Bye-bye!
