Design Software?

I want to create a loft bed with a desk underneath. I want to make an amateur 'blueprint' for my loft bed. Any good free software. I have windows xp. :) Any tutorials you can find on the program, too?

I would try either sketchup 7 (if you have a great graphics card) or 6. Solidworks and autocad are superb yet may be overkill and run you $1000. I've used all three and Sketchup has the smallest learning curve yet has some limits, but its free, easy, and basic. Ive made an entire furnished 1 story house without a roof in sketchup.
