There is a built in cubby next to the closet to with enough room to hold her clothing. She is a tomboy so we don’t really need to much hanging space to begin with.

I used my Expedit in the bedroom closet that my two boys share. I removed the sliding doors and placed the Expedit inside, with enough room on either side for the occasional dress shirt or pants. I then hung some fabric from the top of the closet to hide the storage shelf behind it.

If you want to brighten the room, paint it!! I did it myself to my family room which my children were too frightened of to play in.

I primed and used a warm white. It really changed the look of the room. If it had beams in it I probably would have left them unpainted while painting the ceiling white as well.

I'm still trying to figure out what to do with the mattress frame. Mine is metal but is calling out for a recycle job!
I was able to make some toy storage out of the drawer underneath.

I covered my old tile flooring with Allure TrafficMaster linoleum flooring. It looks like wood, needs no subflooring, and is about $1.60/square foot. We loved it so much that two years later we covered our entire basement renovation with the same flooring. Here are some before and after pictures...

3M strips could hold up fabric. You could put up a temporary curtain with these strips and choose when you want the privacy or not. Window film would probably works best since you can cut it to the shape of the glass.

I keep one hamper in the master bedroom, then a three sorter bin with wheels (Container Store) in the laundry room. No more piles on the floor!

Covering the backs of the cabinets adds some visual interest as well. I added some fabric shelf paper to my Hemnes pieces.

I bought some pieces from the Hemnes series and added molding to the bottom, top and in between. I ended up an entire wall with a built in look.

I grew up with bunk beds. I shared a room with my brother and we just switched beds when the sheets were changed. There was no fighting over who got the top bunk. I now have similar bunk beds (my dad made them!) for two of my children. My boys share a room. They are too young now (5 and 3) so the beds are set up as separate twins. As soon as they are old enough and won't trapeze off the beds I'll set them up as bunk beds. Besides being a great small space solution for a shared room, they make some incredible forts!!!


Are Bunkbeds Worth It?

Hot glue gun/glue gun sticks
large ruler
exacto knife
measuring tape
sewing machine with all the thread imaginable
fabric
painters tape
electrical tape
foam core

I could keep going since 10 is limiting!

I bought a house with wood panelling in the family room. It took me all of two seconds to paint it a warm white, even though every male within a 20 mile radius could not fathom why I would do this. You decide....
