Hi Everyone!You may know already that we have to little boys who are fast growing up. One is 6 and the other is just about to turn 4. In their wisdom they have decided a little while ago that they wanted to share a room together...how sweet.
They both had plenty of room in their own bedrooms, but wanted to be together and they chose Declan's room with the french door, afternoon sunlight and right next to our room.
I was happy with their choice.
This room is very big, so there is loads of room for all of the 'stuff' that they have, but it got me thinking of built in bunks like these above. Love them. So many amazing things can be done with them...let's look.
Now, these aren't the traditional bunks we all think of but it is a great use of space isn't it?
I could imagine them in a family holiday home where you could have a few siblings and their families all in the cottage together....and the storage under would be great.
The idea of the boys room being all white with punches of blue and red, although done to the death really appeals to me...and to them!

This room is divine and I often think of a friend of mine who has 4 boys and 1 girl and a 3 bedroom home. This built in bunk system would work so well in her situation and there would still be plenty of room to play and do homework etc.
Having 2 little girls would have me looking for something like this. I would never come out if I had of had bunks like these as a child. My Sister and I did have bunks and we used to put up sheets and bring Mum's potted plants inside and turn them into 'units'. We would dress them just like a home with pillow sofas, curtains - the lot! I remember that so fondly...and the fact my elder Sister always had the 'unit' with the natural sunlight!!
This is my favourite!
Everything in this room is amazing and although the bunks aren't built in, they still look so great against that stripe wall. Talking Mic around to something like this would be another story though.
Both of our boys really liked this room when I showed them =0)
Ok, when I found this a million smiles rushed through me. I could have something like this in my office-now-come-guestroom. I think the drum shade and comfy sofa sold the whole scheme to me...either way it is wonderful, and I am sure Mum and Dad would be happy being in here when they come and stay.
Now as much as I love white and neutrals, I do believe that children should have colour in their lives and this room is a perfect example. A white base and tonal coloured 'cabins'.
What a great solution for everyone.
I don't have any plans just yet to have some built in bunks installed, but the boys room does need a face lift. It is still the same colour from when I prepared it for Declan's arrival...about 6 and a half years ago!!
Which one do you love??
