Hi Renee,
It isn't entirely clear what you mean by a 'dresser bed'. Are you referring to a bed that has storage drawers under the mattress?
Do you already have an existing bed that you want to remake, or are you considering constructing an entirely new one?
Posting a picture of the type of bed that you want to build would be helpful.
Here is an idea with the plans:
