Boys Room Makeover! Hanging Beds!

I have admired hanging beds

for quite some time now

and finally found a way to incorporate

them into our home...

My twin boys share a very small

room and it made sense to 

try the hanging bed idea

to save on space...

This room was my inspiration..

The directions can be found on

Anna White's website:

ana-white: easiest-hanging-daybed

I'm not sure if it just because we live in a very

old house (the walls can be uneven

at times) but this project 

was not "easy" by

any means...But I loved

the results..Thanks to my

amazing guy!

The bedding is from Ikea...

EIVOR duvet and pillowcase $19.99 

The toy organizer is also from Ikea..

(We have had it a while and has held up great)

    Cool British scenes artwork,

 3pc set $12.99

 found at Ross

We decided on the height with

the top bed

so that the dresser

could fit snug underneath it.

The built in desk is attached with simple

shelf brackets. The ladder turned

out great too!

Some close-ups of how the beds are
put together..

we added extra support in most places..

 and more support...

The rope is tied to eye bolts..

I still need to add a few items

to complete the room..

Etsy: union jack pillow set

Really want a couple of these

pillows for the beds...

Ikea: Jules Jr. office chair

The boys are using bar type

stools right now, not very

comfortable..

 Hanging beds can be done with

inspiration and someone

very handy with woodworking!
