Turn An Old Bed Into A Bench!

Loving this concept of refurbishing an old piece of furniture and making it into absolute fabulousness!  Using a headboard and a foot board, make several cuts and adjustments - voila...it becomes an adorable bench.

Here's the before....

Pink makes my day.

How cute would this be in a shabby chic girl's bedroom or a sweet playroom?? Complete details and instructions at In His Grip. It couldn't be any cuter.

Kids' Built-in Beds

When I see beds like this it makes me feel like curling up with a good book. Built-in beds are perfect for kids rooms.  Kids bedrooms typically lack play area due to all the furnishings in the room and kids rooms are usually small. This bedroom set-up maximizes space - storage space becomes so efficient with built-ins.

 Built-in beds create special nooks that feel homey.

Such an awesome western bunk room.

 

Create a bunk bedroom in an attic space. "Back-to-back beds fit just right in this long, narrow room, while the steeply pitched ceiling makes the space cozy for kids. Get the bunks shipshape with peek-a-boo portholes, and pump up the playfulness with whimsical patterns and tangy hues. Built-in storage maximizes limited square footage. The under-the-bed drawers are easy for kids to reach and eliminate the need for bulky dressers."
