Boys bunk beds

I have 3 little boys that share a room. I still wanted a ton of floor space for them to play so this is what we came up with! There are 4 twin beds and 2 trundles, making it a total of 6 beds. It took my husband and I 3 days to complete this project. Here are some pictures of our construction process.

    Another after. There's a little hiding spot behind the stairs where they can read a book or play.

    Very nice!! This is sort of like what I wanted my husband to help me with for my 3 younger sons but he didnt think they needed beds at all. I didnt think about trundle beds which is really nice if they have friends over. I bet your boys just love this!

    The only down side I see is trying to put linens on the upper bunks.

    Great job. I saw this awhile back when looking for bunk beds for our grands and thought what an awesome idea. I think it was in a summer home though. I bet your boys love it. The trundles are an added bonus for sleep overs but would have been great for toy storage too.

    I so wish I had the money to do this in my own bedroom and the ability, only for a queen size bed and only on top with desk space underneath. Then too, my ceiling is not high enough. boo hoo!

    I've wanted to do this for years- but the husband thought it was too hard. With your pictures- he'll be able to see it's possible!

    What a great use of vertical space.If you were not using the top level for beds it too could become play space. Great job!
