project big boy bed
Saturday, March 5, 2011 at 12:59PM Now that my hubby has a clearly defined work schedule it has been so nice to be able to have several days off in a row where we can work on a project together. This past week's project was to make Keegan a big boy bed. My baby boy is not much of a baby any more so we wanted to start working on making his room more "little boy" and less "baby."
The crib is officially packed up and stored in the attic while Keegan is enjoying his new bed. I sketched the idea one day while sitting around and I am so happy to say that my design is now a reality. Nathan and I made the bed and I made the motorcycle blanket. I love that is very much "little boy" but not the cheesy cartoon character kind of design. Not that there is anything wrong with cartoon characters. I would just prefer them not to be used to decorate my home. ;)
We are going to work on painting his room and installing new closet doors and artwork next week.
But for now, Keegsters has a sweet new bed.
Apparently, I am an utter failure when it comes to smoothing out the sheets before I tuck in the blanket. Oh well.....You get the idea. Keegan will fix it by jumping up and down on it as soon as he gets home.

LOVE IT!!!
Love the bed, but I am pretty sure you knew I'd feel that way!
Very neat. How did you make the blanket?? And the bed?
I would do things like this if i were talented like you! but I am the mom who would decorate in the cheesy cartoons that my baby likes. I would love to make a bed like this though, super cool! i miss you sister! love you guys
your blog has not been showing up on my google reader so i've not been reading until i just thought of it today. anyway i saw this bed somewhere about the internet the other day and loved it! i even pinned it to my inspiration file. and didn't even realize it was you who has made it. funny. anyway, i think it goes now without saying, but i really love it!
Thanks everyone.
Alice, I will see if I can put together some instructions for you. Unfortunately I don't think that I took any photos of it while in the making it process but I will see what I can do.
Beth, Thanks for letting me know. I will look into it.
