Bunkin' It

Bunk beds were the best when you were a kid. Of course there were always safety issues but the worst was when we arrived on site to discover that the kids rooms had stacked racks. That meant a mad dash to the room and tons of elbowing and shoving to jostle a sibling out the way to claim the best bunk. The result - soured feelings and a possible bruise or two.

As adults we think about functionality and bunks serve as good alternative to twin beds set side by side. Short on floor space? Build up!

These look pretty cozy, like cubbyholes to steal away to with pillows and blankets and books. Bunk beds have come a long way, most of these look way more sophisticated the the flimsy wood or metal structures I remember from camp and the dorms.

Notice all the amenities: lighting, clocks, art work, storage, ladders, nets, privacy curtains and tons of clearance for your head so that nothing goes bump in the night. Changing the sheets with bunks beds is a task that requires a little more time and effort than the average set up, so consider yourself warned.

Here is a wider shot that shows there are actually four beds in this arrangement. P-A-R-T-Y!
