L's new bed

L is turning 5 in a few weeks. Jeff and I thought we've give her something nice that would last a few years. She's been wanting a bunk bed for a long time. Yes, I know, there's only one bed. But a loft bed is just as good (L says) and it allowed us to expand our horizons for a bed with a desk and cubbies.
This is the bed. Yep, messy as ever but it looks nice from below because you can't tell!

Her computer and desk. She is into coloring and cutting and pasting and those pieces of paper you see are things she's hung up.

The cubbies. We haven't done anything with them. Some of the prongs are being mailed to us and we haven't had time to figure out what should go there.


In addition to the bed, I got her a bean bag and shag carpet so she can read, watch movies on her portable DVD player or play DS. She loves it!




So far, she's done well with the bed. She loves sleeping up there. She's not a fraidy cat. She bonked her head good tonight on the ceiling because she was excited that I was going to read her books (which I do every night). After a few tears and some soothing, all was good.

I LOVE her bed! I always wanted a loft bed ... even in college, but we didn't have room for that. We had to bunk them :)
L's a lucky duck!

Thanks Betsy. She loves her bed and the desk so she can color. The funny part is the bed's bigger but it takes less space in her room!
