A review and Bunk Bed Renovation

The Review…

I am excited for the opportunity to review a product from CSN Stores.  I am not sure what I’m going to review as CSN Stores has over 200 online stores where you can find everything from modern dining room furniture to cute cookware to chic lighting pieces!  It’s going to be fun to scour through all the selections and find something to review.  So check back soon to see what I found and how I liked it!!!!

The Bunk Bed….

I can’t believe I never posted here about the log bunk beds that my dad and I made (mostly my dad) a couple of years ago for the kids.  Here’s what it looked like until last a few weeks ago:

We were going to add a stairway to the side but then we changed our minds and decided to turn it into more of an indoor playground.  So we added a rope ladder and a climbing wall.  They are loving it!!!

It helps to ease the cabin fever and gets them some good exercise in when it’s too cold outside.  Now all that’s missing is a slide LOL!!!

Kids' Bedroom Makeover

I finally did some actual decorating in the kids' room. I just went with a circle or "bubbles" as the kids' call them.

Here are the curtains and the circles that I put around the upper portion of all the walls. I made the curtain out of some denim like fabric that I had in my stash and just painted the circles on with acrylic paint. The circles on the wall I cut out of cardboard and painted with acrylic paint (I painted the cardboard first and then cut the circles to make it easier). Because we rent the circles are just held up with tack adhesive putty.

Here's a shelf I made. I used some scrap wood I had and my dad's scroll saw. I just painted it and then added more cardboard circles. The blocks are a gift that Patrick's Mom has given the kids on their first birthday!


I found this online, it's call a Boon Trio and I have decided to make one. The second picture is my mini test experiment with some scrap fabric to figure out the pattern. Now I just need to order the zippers and then I can make it! I have to order a special make your own zippers kit because the size of zippers I need is longer than 36". I'll post pictures when it's done.
There's still one more big item that I'm working on with my dad for the kids' room, but you'll have to wait to see what that is! It'll be done sometime in June so stay tuned!
