lofty

i thought lofty meant grand or great or something like that...
i was way off...
oops.
i kept the title anyway - i like it 
and i know you wouldn't judge me.

i had this great ('lofty') idea a while back of a way to open up the girls play space 
and give selah the bunk bed she's been hoping for.
well, almost a bunk bed...
a loft bed that would actually fit in their room.

presenting the ever so functional 'lofty' loft bed:
i came up with the design.
jude created it.
i captured it.
tag team c&c - right?
booyah!
~
emery & selah love it!
and with 4 pieces of furniture (2 beds, dresser and bookshelf) 
grouped together now, they have even more room to play!

this one of a kind 'lofty' bed will be 
on the market in about 5 years.
bidding starts now!

love that this was also a very 'green' solution.
used current furniture, added some wood.
sold one bed on kijiji, gave the other away.
picked up a large piece of foam for the floor mattress,
and pieced together the upper mattress with the foam from my parent's old couch cushions - good thing my dad likes to save things...

Wow...very impressive! You can make us a bunk bed in a few years if you want ;)

I love, love, love this! We've been thinking about doing something like this for our girls too, since they have slanted ceilings in their bedroom and I don't think bunks will work. You're an awesome mama and papa team Cheryl!
