If you’re using unfinished wood, seal all the cracks and holes with a wood filler before concluding. Opt for a natural finish if you want, but if you’re looking for something more durable, a high-quality primer and paint will do the trick. Once your bed is finished, enjoy its unique style!
20. Hanging Flower Decorations
