Since we are now going to have three kids and only two bedrooms for them we figure eventually someone will have to bunk so I found these very heavy wood bunk beds on Craigslist - used but neat. On one side there is 3 shelfs and 5 drawers and the other side has the ladder and a desk with drawers . They were more scratched up than I was hoping so we decided they had to be refinished. And in usually fashion I just jumped into a huge project without thinking about how hard it would be while 8-9 months pregnant. Paul sanded them for me and then I primered them and applied 2 coats of paint - with a whole lot of complaining of back ache and heartburn. Of course the kids wanted to help paint a lot too. But they turned out good. And I got all the bedding super cheap at Ross and happened to find colors that already matched the paint on her walls. Now if only I could get them to sleep in them :) The first night we tried, Kyle just wanted to sleep in his bed/bedroom so then Marissa (who has been so excited to sleep up top for a month or so) said "Oh, well I would rather sleep with Kyle" (as they have been sleeping together for a couple weeks and love it). She just loves her brother! So they both snuggled in Kyle's old bed and slept. But at least they love playing on the bunk beds!
