D, L, T & K Build a Bunk Bed!
Part 2

Main ] [ History ] [ Advantages ] [ Build It ] [ Decorate It ]

Advantages of our Loft/Bunk Bed Set-Up:

  • it cost under $300 (Canadian money) to build compared to $1000 to buy
      
  • we didn't "waste" the one nice bed we already had.
      
  • we were able to make a "Barbie" bunk bed -- decorating it personally was fun
      
  • it was a summer long project complete with loads of daddy/daughter time -- the girls and daddy did most of the work (YES, the girls did more work than mommy... you'll see what I mean in the next sections).  I think it's something Tasha will remember doing forever.
      
  • Kaitlyn is 3 yrs old and cannot sleep on the top bunk yet.  By the time she can, Tasha likely won't want to share a room any longer.  At that time we can just take the bottom bed out and put it in a separate room.  Kaitlyn can enjoy having a loft bed "high in the sky" with a play area underneath!
