Coffee Tables, Solar Lights, Bathroom Sinks And More!

As a boy growing up in the Midwest I had it good. A lake in our back yard and the forest was close enough to spend all day in, yet make it back home in time for dinner.  Our friends all lived on the same block as us which made getting together mighty convenient. My younger brother and I would host sleepovers on the weekends and we would wage battle against our enemies in green army plastic men war!

That was almost 30 years ago. I fondly remember those days, especially the room my brother and I shared. Walking in one couldn’t help notice the bunk bed as it gave the room the feeling of an army barracks. My brother had the bottom bunk and me the top. The  ladder off to the side was a little rickety and I would be fudging the truth if I said I felt safe using it. But I made do with what we got and never complained.  So we would pitch a makeshift tent using the blankets to cover the bunk bed, which kept our enemies out, of course. Also setup were traps around the bunk to foil intruders from entering, and you were an intruder if you didn’t know the secret password!

Growing up and bunking with my brother was a great experience, indeed.

Fast forward thirty years and as if destined by fate, my two sons share a room that isn’t much different from my childhood. When my wife and I discussed the arrangement of the room we made it a point to consider a bunk bed with stairs. I once fell off the ladder that connected to our bunk bed and it left me a nice bruise on my behind. Sure it was only a bruise but it stayed with me and when I think about my boys I think of their safety. A bunk bed with stairs eliminates the need to climb up a ladder to reach the top bunk. And as my behind knows all too well, climbing the bunk beds ladder can be a bit tricky.

Bunk beds are not without risks and a model that has stairs decreases the chance of an accident. Consider a bunk bed with stairs if your children’s safety is a priority.

Childrens beds are an extremely important part of a child’s bedroom. A big part of the bed is the childrens bedding, and this is equally important as the bed itself. Your childrens bed is the place that your child will spend a lot of time. You want to make it as comfortable as possible because of this. If your children’s beds aren’t comfortable enough you’ll probably be spending many nights trying to get your kids to get into bed, and it’s never fun trying to put to bed a child who doesn’t want to go. Either learn this the easy way or the hard way!

Kids beds are fun to shop for anyways, so why not make this a fun family outing? There’s nothing better than getting excited about children beds! Childrens bunk beds are probably the type of beds that kids love the most. There is something magical about bunk beds and loft beds that kids just love! You might also include looking for childrens cabin beds in your search for the perfect bed. Childrens cabin beds are great because they have room for storage under the sleeping space. Kids often have plenty of toys and this would be an ideal place to store excess toys.

Try to buy a bed for your children that suites their personal tastes. For example, if your son is really into the Colts, there are plenty of childrens beds that are Colts themed! Pretty much any sports team out there will have a kids bed themed after it. You can also do the work yourself and paint the bed that you buy. Perhaps you could even buy some unfinished furniture beds and start from scratch! This will give you tons of creative freedom to make your childrens bed exactly what you and your kids want it to be and they could become sentimental gifts.

Of course you’re not limited to bunk beds and loft beds. You could also buy some totally random shaped bed. Think of a castle shaped bed for your daughter, tell her she’s a princess! Or you could get a bed in the shape of a space rocket for your son. The sky is the limit and just try to be imaginative. Cabin beds are great to save space, so think about getting a pine cabin bed for your kids. The more unique you are the better the results will be. You might find that the bed you buy or make will stay in the family for a long time. Perhaps your kids will even use the bed for their kids some day!
