For our 22 month baby, 90 cm & 16 kg  (98% percentile all the time)
her toddler bed, converted from the baby crib, was too small and uncomfortable
so we were looking for a kid's bed
However, the price for house beds/ cabin beds seems too expensive
What if we build our own...?
Shall we try it?
Without delay, we just did some sketch and created a blue print
Then, we got the wood from a hardware store.
Impressed with our initiative!!
we both are WFH due to the Covid-19, so we couldn't even try this on weekdays
It took 4 weekends to complete the project
which means while he was working on this, I had to deal with single parenting...
so my contribution should be credited :)
Since we are not experienced,
we had to build it with only few tools
so it required a lot of time for us...
Finally, he completed the bed frame
I asked him to add book shelves on the bed frame
it's because kids are visual and they way we display books is important for our daughter
we wanted the shelves where we can display books with covers facing out
so she can see the bold colorful illustrations and titles
now, we are applying paint primer
Once the primer has dried, we are painting the frame
we used the left over mint colour paint from her bed room wall
We've done 3 coats
finally! it's done!!!
the frame was too big, so we brought it to the room and assembled it
And after my touch....
Volià!
Now, there's nothing we haven't touched/modified in this room...
It only remains for us to wait for the delivery of a new bedding set
When the light is turned off,
it looks like stars are twinkling in the sky
She's kinda afraid of the dark
hope she can sleep tight with sweet dreams
our weekend project is done!
It was tiring for sure but so meaningful!
Hope she likes it when she sees it first
