My head is all over the place with this house. One minute I am planning the master, the next I am thinking of the kids' room. The little guys will still be sharing a room, which quite frankly, is the way they want it. They love being together, it's freakin' adorable.
So, they are currently bunking it with this baby:
We originally were worried that Romes would roll off a bed, so this was the best option considering her mattress is on the floor. Its worked out great for them, but now that their bedroom is expanding, I would really like to have them in side-be-side twin beds so they can see each other while they chat at night.
If I had it in my budget, I would instantly scoop up two of these spindle beds from Land of Nod:
I have a very unhealthy obsession with this bed! Its a lil' throwback to 19th century Sweden, but it comes with a hefty price tag...well for me. I just can't bring myself to spend $500 on one bed, and if you can't do the math, that's a grand for both!
So I started to scour the internet for a Jenny Lind bed knock-off and came up short! Totally sucks! So I moved on to search for just a nice, white, twin bed, and that proved to be difficult too! Who knew there was a shortage of cute, affordable, twin beds?
Here are some of my options. First up is a shaker style bed, which comes from Walmart, and is priced at $168. It actually goes with the style of the finishes in our house, awesome. However, I am not sure if it will look cheap upon arrival. I found this exact same bed on Overstock for $240 so this is definitely a bargain.
Next up is another bed I found at Walmart. This one is metal, and does have similar lines to the Jenny Lind, but I just don't know if I can get in to the whole metal thing. Priced reasonably at $160,
Lastly, I could go the IKEA route. I found this bed for a mere $40. Now that's a deal! It's made out of real wood. Its not white, but because its unfinished I could paint it any color I want.
So seriously, what do you all think? Knowing that I dream of the Jenny Lind bed, which option should I go with? Anyone know of anywhere else I can go to check out some affordable twin bed options? I can't believe I am having such a hard time finding a cute, white one! Crazy!

ReplyDeleteI vote for the Ikea one, its cute and cheap and you can paint it any color. Since Handy Dani is on the case I know you will make it awesome! I still also love the idea of bunk beds.... they are just so fun.
ReplyDeleteI love bunk beds too but the room has windows on every wall and it just won't look right.
