I went back and forth on what I wanted on our covered porch area once the pool was completed. I thought about a bar and barstools, I thought about just a dining table and finally decided on a place to relax in the shade. After some Pinteresting I found an easy-to-follow plan to build a hanging daybed. We were going to do it at home, but my Dad (a general contractor) suggested we bring the materials over to his house since he has all the tools. We’re so glad we did! We assembled most of it in one afternoon and then I added the finish the next day. Here are some behind-the-scenes pics of us working on it!

And here is the final product! I found a barely used mattress on Facebook Marketplace for $50, bought the cover from World Market and accessorized it with handmade pillows from Etsy. The girls love to read books laying on it and I like to take Sunday naps on it! It’s so cute, I’m obsessed.
