A few weeks ago, Stuart and I came across these plans for a house bed and thought it would be fun if we could make one for the girls. When my husband gets an idea for something, he's determined to start right away and get it done! So he did. It has been a project we've been working on the past few weeks, mainly at night when the girls were sleeping. The original plans were to have the bottom bunk enclosed with windows and an opening, but we decided to change that so it would be easier to change the sheets and also better for a 2 year old! I'm happy we changed it, because it's a great place for the kids to play and a place that the whole family can sit together and read bedtime stories. The girls saw it as it was being built, but once we started painting it we thought it would be fun if we kept it a surprise and made a big reveal after it was all put together in their room. Today was the big day! And......they love it!!!

Originally I was hesitant about the whole idea. And then I thought back to the playhouse that my dad built for me and my sister when we were kids. It provided us some of the best childhood memories! I can only hope that this bed does the same for our girls! They won't ever know how much work was put into building it, but that doesn't matter. To see the joy on their faces and someday listen to their stories about the house bed that their dad made them makes it completely worth it! :)
super cute, i love it
