If you remember, this is what the room looked liked before (please excuse the unmade bed - it is a boy's bedroom)...
And the after...
![]() |
| My father and I came up with the design and made the bed over a few weekends. |
![]() |
| The bed has a cubby underneath it which is accessed through a secret door. The panel next to the blackboard has a small lever near the mattress which you pull to make the door open. |

| We painted the cubbies in different colours and I filled it with his books and toys. In the red cubby there is a small peephole drilled through so he can 'spy' on people coming into his bedroom. |

| Zaccy helped me make the circle art on the wall. We painted timber craft coasters and table mats and then decoupaged pictures of the Dr Suess 'Cat in the Hat' book. |
So, just to remind you...
What had to stay...The flooring (obviously), the wall colour and the timber blinds.
What could go... All the furniture.
The budget breakdown...
What do you think?












This looks fantastic, Anna! Great job! Any kiddo would love it...heck, I'd love that bed! So fun!
ReplyDeleteGot your email (thank you!) I don't know what's up with blogger. I can't comment on some blogs at all and some I have to type in all my "profile info"
Isn't pinterest great, if addictive??
Saw this pinned on pinterest and was intrigued by the secret door! THAT is soooo AWESOME! Such an amazing room!
ReplyDeleteThat is so stinkin' awesome...not only do I love that it's Dr. Seuss inspired, but it's got such cool details! The little hidey space, the storage, the COLORS! So much for the little man to love! Thanks for linking up to Roomspiration!
ReplyDeleteWow Anna, I am just checking out your blog. This room is great & the budget breakdown even better. KP
ReplyDeleteAwesome job!
ReplyDeleteNo such thing as 'safe' blinds. Google the dangers of having slats with nooses hanging from your child's windows :(
ReplyDeleteIt's true that blinds aren't safe for small children and I would never use them in a space for toddlers. However, Zaccy is six and more than old enough for blinds not to be a safety hazard.
DeleteAnna, Where did you find the plans to build the bed? It is awesome!

ReplyDeleteThanks for everyone asking for plans of the bed. Unfortunately this was a bit of "make it up as you go along" situation so I don't have any specific plans. Sorry!
