I'm a big girl now. . .

I have been putting off getting Lucy a new bed because her crib (yes, she is 3-1/2 and still in a crib) fit great in that room. It also had storage under it, and if I took it down then where was I going to store it... and then what if I got pregnant and then we had to put it back up. . .so I've been thinking about it for a long time. I wanted to get one of these beds. . .

Isn't this one just beautiful, although totally not me at all.I love the white one.Oh, and come on this would be adorable!

We aren't students anymore but we can't spend two grand on a Lucy's bedroom set either! So I put a "WANTED: BUNK/LOFT BED" ad on craigslist. I had seen these types of beds on craigslist here and there but I was never the first person to email so I thought maybe by doing the "WANTED" that maybe someone would contact me before they posted it. Well, it took awhile but it happened! I got one! I had a lady email and say that she was looking to sell her set and buy seperate beds for her kids now. She asked how much I wanted to pay. Don't laugh, but I didn't want to/couldn't spend more then $300 and I told her that. I got it for $250!!
This is our new set minus the bottom bed which will go in storage until a date way off in the future. I love the color of the wood. The only colors I would have preferred over this would have been white or black. It is a totally solid piece of furniture too, I love it. It has the storage we need in her room too. Under her bed is her little house with her kitchen, doll house & dress up/princess clothes.
It's been a hit with all of her friends too. Claire is the funniest. When I had her & Lailie over I told Claire I thought she was so lucky that she has such a cute baby sister..."Yeah, but Lucy is lucky because she has a bunk bed!" Oh my gosh, I laughed at that one! Then later I overheard her and Lucy talking about how they should be sisters so they can have bunk beds, and then Bekie & I can be sisters and have bunk beds and then Brett & Nick can be brothers and share. . .Oh my gosh I am laughing out loud just typing this out! Good thing Nick or Brett don't read my blog! I love Claire! Nora calls it Lucy's bed in the sky. I'm just glad that she's finally out of her crib, it was a little embarrasing.
