I have two boys, ages 3.5 and 6.5. We live in a small one storey house, so the boys share a room. To save floor space, we have them in a bunk bed. My oldest actually fell over the railing on the top bunk, so we had to make some improvements on safety. Here is what we did.



We started off with this loft bed, the bottom twin bed is actually on a bedframe. Here was the initial set up and yes, my son actually rolled *over* that railing you see, and fell onto the floor.


we asked my oldest what he wanted, and he drew this:


So we made this, working off his design. The rocketship is painted on plywood, and it's bolted to the ceiling and to the frame of the loft bed.


Here's the front - we put a panel there with plexiglass as well.


The three year old finally decided on what he wanted on his part of the bed. So now we have this. Older brother helped paint the earth and clouds. the boys helped with the primer and the rocket ship. I did the stars.


Can you spot the three year old?
