Bunkbed brothers

I have come to conclude there are certain advantages of being the first child married (Derek), and having the first grandkid (Henry). Hand me downs! :) Dereks mom and dad gave a us an older twin bed for Henry when he was 2 and ready to transition to a big boy bed. Derek took the bed and painted it a fun lighter blue color. Fast forward 4 years and now is Harrisons turn to transition into a big boy bed, Dereks parents had given us the other matching twin bed. Due to the small room the boys are in, we needed 'space saving' beds, luckily these beds can be bunk beds! They are actually bunk beds Derek and his brothers grew up with. I was told no injuries were sustained over the years due to these bunk beds, so after some convincing and reassurance that they were safe, I approved of doing the 'bunk bed' thing. They are very nice and sturdy bunk beds. If you were to go and buy some at the store of this high quality with the 3 drawers and bookshelf headboards it would cost a very pretty penny. lol (that I probably wouldn't want to pay)

Derek took his spare time and sanded the beds down, when those were prepped we went to Home Depot where uncle Justin works and had some nice navy paint mixed up. It took a few days to get the paint on, thankfully grandpa Wayne let us paint them in his spare room by the garage. Thank you Wayne :) Derek did a VERY nice job and I was tickled and very pleased with the finished product!! Good job bud!!



The boys were VERY excited about the bunk beds (as you will see in the pictures). I had mixed emotions I just wondered, will Harrison roll out? Or when will the first broken arm occur?? I tend to worry about things probably more than I should! lol Well I am happy to report that the first week we are injury free, although Harrison did roll out of the bed the first night, but being the responsible and loving parents we are we went and bought a rail the next day :) he has been roll out free since :) Really the only issues has been, Harrison will wake up in the middle of the night go and turn on the light and say, "HENRY, aaaykup!" (wake up) and the fact that Harrison knows how to climb onto Henrys bed ladder free! He climbs on the footb0ard like a little monkey in the jungle, but really did we expect anything less from him??? It is Harrison! lol And I have enjoyed a full nights sleep!!

Thanks again t0 Grammanita and Grandpa Wayne for the beds. Derek, you did an AMAZING JOB!! You are my Tim the tool man Taylor (grunt, grunt, grunt) love ya :)
