New Bunk Beds

Over the summer I found two dressers on Craigslist that I really liked for Jackson and Madeline's room. Both the dressers are the same - a dark wood craftsmen style. Since then I've been watching and waiting for a set of bunkbeds that match to become available and as luck would have it, it finally happened. We took down the crib and put up a toddler bed for Madeline...then we took down the twin bed that Meredith loaned us over 5 years ago and put up the bunk beds and... (as Jackson would say) voila, a new bedroom!

We put Aunt Cyndee's quilts on the bunks - they both look good next to the dark wood. My thought is that Jackson can sleep on the bottom bed until he's a little older and then he can either sleep on the top bunk or we can "unbunk" the beds. I truly pray that we are not in this house THAT long, but I'm planning for the scenario non-the-less.

Jackson loves his new bed...and Madeline seemed to enjoy her new easy-to-climb-into toddler bed; however, as you can see by the photo below, the novelty of new beds quickly wore off -- they were both in Mom and Dad's bed by the morning. Maybe someday...

Or maybe I'll look for a king size bed for our room :-)
