Bunk Beds For The Girls

Now that Junior and I have made the decision to move in February, I am getting really excited about the idea. I was telling him the other day how much I hate where we live now. I never invite people over because I am embarrassed by the water damage on the ceiling and walls, and the stained beyond cleaning carpet. It will be nice to be able to have my family over for dinner once in a while, and be proud of the home I live in.

The main thing I want when we move is three bedrooms. I know that three bedroom houses are kind of out of our price range, I have become okay with the idea of going back to living in a mobile home. We peaked in the windows of one the other day that was beautiful, and it has been empty for months. I am hoping it will be available in February. It is a little more expensive than what we pay here, but rent is on a weekly basis, which is better for us. Moving into a three bedroom will cause a little problem, though, because we won't have enough beds. As most of you know, Brandi sleeps with me, and I would like to change that. I want her to be in the room with Kasi, which means I have to get some kids furniture. I was thinking about bunk beds, because that would take up way less space than two twin beds.

I found this set, and really like the style. I love the drawers underneath, but I was really hoping for something white. Kasi's current bed, dresser, and nightstands are white, and I was hoping to still use everything but the bed. That means I would need white bunk beds to match. I will most likely check out some yard sales and thrift stores. Even if I find a set in the wrong wood, I could always paint it white. I have done that before with fantastic results.

Ryan will probably want new young adult furniture, but I think he will have to make due with what he has. The dresser he uses was actually Junior's when he was growing up, and it is still in really good condition. Plus he loves his futon. It's perfect for sitting and playing video games. Speaking of which, I will have to get televisions for their rooms. Man, this move is going to cost me a lot of money.

But it will be worth it.

That is exciting....Linz who's 24, still has my old 'yellow' bedroom furniture. She's finally buying a big girl set, as she's moving out at the end of the month. Nothing wrong with used furniture ;).

But its so nice to plan eh?
