Yesterday, I got inspired. Ok, I was inspired for a while already, but yesterday my inspiration got renewed.
I decided to make a loft bed for my kids.
You see, they have a teeny tiny bedroom, as part of our teeny tiny house. Floor space and storage space is very minimal in my home, and especially in the boy’s bedroom. No room really to play on the floor because it was all taken up by mattresses. We wanted to get the mattresses off the floor and make the bed into a loft, allowing there to be floor space for storage and playing beneath the bed.
Yesterday I drew up plans, today I went to the hardware store and bought the supplies, and then Mike and I spent all day building the bed. We’re exhausted!
I think the bed looks terrific! The boys love it as well!
My boys like sharing a bed, so they’ll be sleeping together on the top bunk.
However, since we know that at some point they will grow out of that, and will want their own beds, we made the bed in such a way that we can fit another mattress underneath, kind of like a bunk bed. This’ll also give us place for guests.
But since floor space is at a premium in our home, we don’t want to keep that mattress there all the time, even when it won’t be used. So we’ll be storing it on its side under there, making more room on the floor for when both mattresses aren’t being used.
