Recently I’ve decided to
put my older boys into a bedroom together and keep one room open for their
toys. I thought that maybe if I nicely
organized all their toys into one room they would no longer tell me that they
were bored every fifteen minutes and cry that they have nothing to do and no
toys to play with(this will probably still happen, but let me pretend it will
work for at least a day).
Their room was large
enough for their separate twin beds, but it didn’t leave much room for their
dressers. The decision was made to buy
the kids some bunk beds (scary since my kids end up in the ER at least once
every couple of months on their own, without the addition of a bed six feet off
the ground).
I went straight to
Craigslist (one of my closest and dearest friends) and started to search… and
search… and search. I would check daily
on the Orange County Craigslist, the LA one, the Inland Empire one, and even
San Diego. Every time one would post for
under $400, it would sell immediately.
Last night I finally
found one for cheap! They wanted $50 for
a bunk bed set that needed a little TLC.
So here is what I picked up:

Now, I’m off to break
out the hairdryer to get rid of the stickers and some wood putty to fill in the
carvings.
What color should I
paint it? I’m think a navy blue or a
dark grey or maybe even a bright retro green.
To be continued…
