Zeke's Bed Mini Makeover!

We have a 4 bedroom house, but for the most part we've had the boys share a room. Our master bedroom his huge and one of the other bedrooms is about the size of a normal master so it's not too bad really. Anything we can do to make it feel better and function better is a good thing though. 

I was trying to find a before picture since I didn't take one, but this is the closest I could come up with even though some things were different since this above picture is quite old. The main thing was to show how Zeke's bed was. His was the single bed that stuck out from the wall taking up valuable floor space! The corner with the red toy box was actually where Owen's elevated bed was with a dresser underneath it. I decided it was time to move that dresser out since there was a bunch of wasted space behind in. We originally had this like that so the boys would have a secret cave / tunnel under Owen's bed. We even put up those push lights so they could cuddle in there and read if they wanted too, but now they are much to big to fit under there anyways so it was time for a change. 

We moved the dresser out and just slid Zeke's mattress right in there. Michael did have to move a couple of the supports for Owen's bed, but honestly it was really pretty easy! Zeke absolutely loves having his cave bed! Also look at all that floor space! I love giving my kids room to play. The dresser is off to the right and as you can see we also have the piano in the boys' room too. The only thing that's been added since this picture is we had an old Kallax IKEA cabinet down in the shed so we brought that up and put it on it's side under the window for the boys to store their LEGO creations on. 

I'm standing right in front of their closet. It's a whole wall of beds and it's amazing!

So happy with his bed. I did go ahead and order Jack and Zeke's reading lights so they can lay in bed and read. Owen didn't want one and that actually worked out nicely because later he got to build a lamp from KiwiCo so he has that one for his bed now. 

The funniest thing about Zeke's bed is the view when you lay down in it. 

This end of the bunkbed was actually the deck portion. Owen's mattress fits in to the desktop area and the now Zeke has all these little cubbies areas to put his stuffies. The top shelve is the keyboard pullout shelve and the bottom one is where you'd put the computer tower. You can also see the 2x4 frame that's holding up Owen's bed. It's nice and sturdy!! There is a little gap up there where Zeke has now stuck all this tiny beanie boos and they are all looking down at him. It's actually a little creepy and I have no idea how he sleeps with these stuffies staring at him every night....but he loves it so that's all that matters!
