being their first night in bunkbeds.

They have been a true labor of love for Josh, but the bunkbeds are finally complete and the girls are fast asleep in them tonight for the first time. I must say, they are gorgeous — exactly what I was hoping for and made with so much love and hard work that they are even more beautiful to my eyes.

Bedding and room design details are still in progress. (yes, there will be the appearance of some chevron stripe here and there…) More on that once it’s all pulled together.

Until then, these happy faces say it all.

Josh has been giving me quite a bit of sass about not ever being talked about on here. I think his direct quote was “What’s a guy got to do to get on the BLOG?”

He’s been working so hard on the bunk beds for the girls and I can’t even express to you how gorgeous they are. I swear that they are better than anything we could buy. He designed them after The Walden Bunks from Land of Nod, although we are just doing a single-over-single bunk that can be made into two stand-alone twin beds.

These are the completed headboards.  The footboards are also complete and all four pieces are ready for hardware, sanding and hole-filling before I get to prime and paint them. I don’t think we’ll paint them bright white — the dresser in Janie and Meg’s room (it’s from my grandparent’s house circa 1940) is antique white, so we were thinking of painting the beds a light neutral color (actually, I want to paint them turquoise, but Josh thinks I’ll regret it).

More again soon!

by the way. josh is currently knitting while i write this. he’s making a cozy for his beer carboys (the big glass containers where the beer ferments). not even joking. a true renaissance man, this one.
