Boys’ Bunk Bed Room

November 29, 2017

This post is sponsored by City Furniture*

Hey All!  I am pleased to announce that my boys room is FINALLY 100% finished!  A few years ago I started my little boys’ plane themed room. I have always known how to use tools, (construction background) but furniture building is actually a hobby I picked up a few years ago. One of my very first  projects was a bunk bed for my boys. Let’s just say, it was a classic learning experience.  You know the old saying “measure twice, cut once”?  Well, I am a little too impatient for said motto.  Somehow my dimensions were off and I made the bunk bed a little too small for a standard size mattress. Whoops!  Well, I was desperate and just MADE the mattress fit. As a result we have absolutely destroyed their mattresses over the past few years.  The kids were past due for new mattresses,  but that meant building another bed!? Ugh.  Sometimes, even I need to accept that I cannot do it all and I need to get reinforcement from the professionals. As you all know I have been ridiculously busy  remodeling a home and building a shop, but the kids NEEDED a new bed, and I didn’t have the time… So allow me to introduce you to my lifeline, City Furniture.

After shopping around and comparing prices and reviews I found that City Furniture  would be just the ticket.  They  had a  great selection of Kid/Teen  bedroom furniture to choose from. 

After heavily  considering it, we opted for the twin over twin bunk bed with a trundle pullout! We have little cousins that like to have sleepovers and it is nice to have an extra bed readily available. Because let’s be real, who ever had a good nights rest on an air mattress. 

They  had several options that we considered,  but I thought that the white was just what this space needed. I wanted it to be light and brighten the space. Ultimately we opted for  the “Lauren” bunk bed.
 It was the perfect fit ! Here is a view of the far side of the room.  I just love this little nook consisting of an up-cycled bookcase, a tent made by yours truly, and a big comfy reading chair inherited from a friend.  The far wall consists of a crate dresser I made for my kiddos to store all their toys. (I built this after I had a few years of  furniture building under my belt, and you can get the build plans here.) As well as a world map I painted on a flat sheet!  

Here is one more satisfying last shot of the kids’ room!

There is so much satisfaction in knowing that …

  • A.) The space is “check off my list”DONE!
  • B.) The room is beautiful and highly functional.
  • C.) It was done at a very affordable price.
  • And last but not least my kids LOVE it!  I am calling that a WIN!  Thanks so much for reading along!

Take Luck,

Corey

Meet Corey

Hi everyone, my name is Corey, and I have a problem. I can’t leave well enough alone… The best therapy usually involves a variety of power tools. So, in the few “spare” moments I am not entertaining my two beautiful, rambunctious, boys, I can typically be found hunched over a sewing machine and/or covered in sawdust. All in the efforts to create a perfect balance of aesthetics and practicality in our home.

The bathroom reveal is LIVE! Here is just one The bathroom reveal is LIVE! 

 Here is just one small view of this new, improved, and somewhat magical bathroom.  I have been dreaming about remodeling my bathroom for years and I can finally say it was worth the work and the wait. 
 For real though, can you even get enough of this tile ?? I know I can’t get enough, but I certainly knew HOW much to get. Did you know that The Home Depot app has project calculators for a wide range of materials INCLUDING tile, so you  can know exactly how much product you  need? You better believe it!
 I have details about this feature and more reveal images on the site today.

Sneak Peek… of our completely renovated master b Sneak Peek… of our completely renovated master bathroom!  I have put off giving our bathroom a makeover for 5 years.  I think there are a lot of reasons people put off big projects … time, money, skills, knowledge, tools?  While The Home Depot can’t completely eliminate the list, they can certainly shorten it!  With a library of “How-to Guides”, helpful resources like “Project Calculator” and a vast inventory of tools to rent The Home Depot can certainly make any daunting project more achievable.

My organizing heart could just burst!! I’m still My organizing heart could just burst!! I’m still organizing the kitchen, but so far I have fit all the contents from the existing pantry AND freed up an entire lower and upper cabinet that contained pantry items.  #winning
Would you believe me if I told you that where this Would you believe me if I told you that where this beautiful custom-built pantry sits, used to be a small builder grade closet? Talk about untapped potential!? While the closet/pantry served its purpose, the space was not well utilized and was altogether unremarkable. With the help of The Home Depot this pantry is not only extremely functional it is a gorgeous feature in my kitchen. 
Sometimes we might look past or forget the untapped potential and resources. 
For example, did you know The Home Depot has a TON of resources to help you with your projects?  Did you know that you can do image search in their mobile app? Yup! Just take a picture of the needed item scan it on your app and find the product in a flash! In fact you  can add it right to your cart and have it ready to be picked up at available stores or lockers!
