Bunkbeds




I got the urge to finally work on the boys room, Alex awhile (about a year) ago put in curtains and shelves in their small closet (after I reframed a section of wall that was torn up at the time that they rewired our main electrical panels). However we still lack doors on the closet to be able to keep most of their toys contained in their plastic tubs. So as some of you may know when all of the toys are available to kids they all come out of the tubs and the mess is complete. Maybe the answer to clean kids rooms is to have very few & easy to clean up toys. So this weekend amid all of our activities and pukie kids (A) I decided to buid a cool set of bunkbeds. Its build from pine and stained a dark mohomany. The wood is also distressed to add a rustic feel to it. I especially like to stairs (not ladder) -a special thanks to Big Al who taught me how to lay out the treads. The room is a construction theme and someday I hope to add some storage and or other construction items just below the stairs and at the end of A's bed. E sleeps on top and A on the bottom. The boys love the room. "its a cool jungle gym", they say
