bunk beds….for 5 boys

Our friends have 5 boys who are our boys’ very best friends. They wanted bunk beds for all 5 of them and asked Tom to build them.  It always makes it fun when Tom and I design together, he builds and then I finish off with the styling. My favorite part of any design project is the styling and this one was so fun! 

We first put all those boys (ours and theirs) to work to clear the room.

I gathered inspo from some faves and Tom got to work.

He started off by framing all the beds

Next the electrician came in to wire for their sconces

We then met with Randall of Erskine Concepts to measure for the metal work

Tom built the shelving off site at his workshop while our boys cheered him on

Getting close...just waiting on the painter

All painted...just waiting on the metal work and sconces

Now my favorite part...the styling

I decided to mix patterns and colors while still keeping it neutral for 5 boys ages 3-13

5 sets of sheets, 5 solid quilts, 5 striped quilts, 5 shams and 5 blankets. That’s a lot of bedding!

Those striped quilts and shams are my favorite. So soft and classic.

We love the way they turned out! The youngest even asked me to make his bed again the next time I was over.
