We have discussed for several years ways we can make more space for the kids in their rooms. Of course bunk beds have been the easiest solution, at least for the girls. We found some plans online for a loft bed with room underneath for playing and we decided to try it out. We figured if it worked well in Brigham's room we could convert it easily enough for the girls into a bunk bed. Considering the cost of Bunk Beds in retail stores, home made from scratch was our best option.
We got all the lumber from Home depot started this project rolling. Seth cut the pieces and pre-drilled all the wood. Then I went to work staining everything. Once everything was cut and dried we began the work with assembly. All in all it took about 2 days. Totally worth it for the amount of money we saved. Not to mention the kids love it!

Once it was completed the kids wanted their pictures taken with it all the time. Here are a few with the mostly finished product. We still want to put little curtains underneath it so he can make a little fort. Maybe throw some bean bag chairs under it too and eventually put a TV on the wall so when we have company the kids can go and watch a movie :)
