Yep, mine’s an August, too–by far my favorite route to Gus :)

Thanks for the link(s) I’ll def give this a check. I would totally be into finding something thrifted and making it amazing.

Yes that is the bed! I love it too, I think it’s my favorite but will only transform into one regular twin size bed when it’s no longer a bunk bed.

I have never heard that about bunk beds and waiting till a certain age. Our oldest sleeps on the top bunk all the time when he is at the cabin . He has never fallen out of any bed so I wouldn’t worry about him on the top. The younger one just needs to learn how to sleep in a bed on the bottom bunk, but they do make gates to keep the kids from rolling out.

Thanks for stopping in and leaving your two cents!

Thanks Julia! Hope to see you around again!

Gretchen! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment! Yay for Gus-es!, is he an August?, ours is. I love the name Abe too!

Also I appreciate your take on inexpensive bunk beds. I would consider the Ikea bunk bed, but would worry that it would may not stand up to my boys. I also don’t want to break the bank on a bed, but understand that money might buy quality when it comes to bunk beds.

Totally lol’d on that part about the sheets. I think that’s probably difficult with any bunk bed. Thanks for the recommendation on the Ikea bed, that was also something we were considering, we’ll have to take a closer look next time we’re out at Ikea. Thanks!

There is a kind if guide here in Australia that kids can’t go in bunks until they are 7 years old. I’ve got a 4 yr and 2 yr old and would live them to share a room with bunks but will wait a bit longer. I’ve toyed with the idea of Ikea’s Kura bunk as that looks like it might be a bit safer, but I just know we’d end up stuck with it for 10 years and wouldn’t get around to replacing it with a nice option like the Perch from oeuf.

Can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Coming over from 6th Street Design School….love your house! and I have a Gus, too :) (the 7 year old in the room sharing pair). I very nearly had a Finn, too, but he was born a few months after Tori Spelling’s Finn, and I just….couldn’t. He’s an Abe instead. But I still love the name.
