Last week I'd had it with the boy's beds. They took up a lot of space and kept sliding on their tile floor and dislocating the center posts underneath. Plus they (mostly Brett) kept cramming junk under their beds. One night after getting Tyler to bed I came out and found that one of the beds posts were knocked out...again. That was the last straw. So I told everyone to go to the family room and I went to work taking apart those beds and cleaning that room up 'til it sparkled. I laid their mattresses on the floor and called it good. And they actually liked it a lot. Then we started thinking about bunk beds. I really didn't ever want to go that route, but in the end it made sense in this space. And when we went to look at them they were on sale. The kids were ecstatic when Keith paid for them. That was last Friday. The beds came in today and we picked them up before dinner. Keith had a meeting for church so I got Tyler to bed and built these bad boys myself. It took a little over three hours. He came home at the end and tightened everything up and screwed in the slats.
Everybody loves them! They are super sturdy and look great in their room.
Now there is so much more open space in their room! We are going to be figuring out a Lego table to fill some of that up.
Brett says their beds are a pirate ship and he sleeps in the bottom of the ship. Ha! I love it! Here's to many nights of great sleeping and hopefully no junk under the bed!
