We have been talking about getting Courtney and Caylee a bunk bed for along time. We have been looking at all types. I kept putting it off because Caylee is no where near ready for it and Courtney has a great bed for now. However, Courtney only will sleep in her toddler bed if her "gate" is up. We "Jimmy Rigged" a baby gate propped up by two storage boxes. It is ugly and she pushes it over weekly in her sleep and it makes a loud crash and she often falls out. It is just now super practical and looks bad.
So we were out shopping last week and found a good deal on a bunk bed. We thought about it for a few hours and decided to go back and bargain with the guys. It was $485. We were able to get it out the door with bed, tax and delivery for $500. I was proud of getting it down so low.
In the meantime we had a lot of work to do to get ready for the bed. We found a comforter set, bought a bed rail, bought and had a mattress delivered, moved all the furniture out of the room, cleaned the room, redecorated, had the mattress delivered, put the bed rail on and then put all the sheets and bedding on. Whew!! It was exhausting.
But it looks good, she loves it, and we have a lot more storage. I still have to work on it, but we are going to put her stuffed animals on the top bunk for now and then I put storage boxes of clothes and toys underneath the bed. It hold a lot!
