Eben has a fantastic bed – it is a bunk bed + desk combination from Ikea. We have had it since he was old enough to sleep in his own bed and it is the perfect solution for small spaces. The problem: he is now 10 and wants a bed that is lower to the ground because he wants Noodles and Lilly to sleep with him. (That should be interesting!) This is the solution that we have come up with: Mr. Sweet Greens is going to use an electric saw to cut the bed legs down to a regular bed height (maybe lower). We plan to use large bins underneath the bed for storage. Then, Mr. Sweet Greens is going to add three more legs to the desk portion and repurpose the bookshelf that is above the desk as a wall shelf. This way Eben will still have a desk, shelving and a bed that is lower to the ground. Thoughts? What do you think?
Will it work? Will it look weird?
Would you consider cutting apart your furniture to make something new?
Do you have any ideas of how I could repurpose the ladder?
