I have wanted bunk beds for a while now for the boys, but the time was never right or I couldn't find any for a good price. I had been looking on
craigslist,
KSL, and the bulletin board here at school with no luck. I finally stopped looking but then my sister text me out of nowhere that there was a set on
KSL in West Jordan just like her boys'. So she called the people up and left a message. Thankfully they called her back because she had six other people ask about them.
YAH!! The only thing that was wrong with them was her kids had bitten them all up so there was marks all over it! BUT that was fine by me! For 75 bucks we got a killer deal! Kira picked them up that day and kept them in her garage until I went down the next weekend so it worked out perfect!
I took on the huge project of sanding everything down, went through 2
Palm sanders, thankful 3 worked like a charm!
I'm still stunned as to why the other 2 went out! Went with a
De Walt and no problems. Now
I'm a real carpenter.


Lots and lots and LOTS of sanding!

So this is the color that they were before, could of worked except the bite marks. But not what I envisioned in my mind

Getting there!

The boys room before... doable but
nahh...

My hubby hard at work! I think it was
OK he could do this part since I did everything else.

Damon loves his new bed! And I finally get to use the quilts I made them what... like 6 months ago, more?

I had these stars already in
their room,
spray painted one red, then distressed it a bit and moved them around

So tons of sanding, lots of staining, lots of getting "hi" and lots of hours later! I love them!

And the other half of
their room

Good Job Alise! You have so much more room in there now! And now you can take a big sigh of RELIEF!!! It's DONE!! I really like the hat hangers.
Ohhhh I love it! It's darling. You are so amazing and talented in all that you do. I must admit I get overwhelmed by projects. Can I hire you out? The boys room looks awesome.
How fun! Great job! We would have so much fun doing projects together.;)
Those look really good. Isn't it nice when its all done. I'm working on sanding the boys dresser so I can paint it to match the beds.
Where did you get the hooks for their hats? Very cute!
