Zander's new bunk bed

We had been promising our youngest a bunk bed for years but told him he had to be 6 years old before he could have one. He turned 6 at the end of January so we were just waiting for the snow to melt for easier transport. Yesterday was the day. Off we all went to Ikea first thing in the morning and we let him pick out his bunk bed. It's really a loft bed, no bed on the bottom, which was what we insisted on really. His room is so small, we wanted the space underneath for storage. After we got home we had to tear down his old bed, clean out all the toys from under it, clear out the bookshelf and move that out, take all the pictures and wall torch lights down off the wall, the start building the new bed and new toy bin thingy. It took all afternoon but it was so worth it! What an amazing kid's room he has.
The walls were all painted 2 years (I think?) ago to look like a knight's castle walls, there are dragons swooping down from the ceiling, the wall lights are shaped like torches, there is a dragon hanger storage thingy on the walls, knight pictures everywhere and cute castle wall shelves. It's so cool. Anyway, here is the new bed and toy bin.

Very cool bedroom! When I get married, we're getting bunk beds.
