The last weekend before we started back to work and school we decided to do a few things around the house.
First up: replace the light fixture in the dining room. We had originally started using the space as a playroom so we put in a cheap light fixture that didn't hang down and knock people in the head. Since we now use it as a dining room we really wanted to make it look a little nicer.
Kind of love how it turned out:
The next day we decided to go pick up some bunk beds for the boys. IKEA to the rescue. We had seen a set up at a friends house and decided to copy it.
But first, one dollar fro yo when we checked out. Huge treat!
We changed the original project slightly and actually cut the beds apart so we could make them into an L shape. Glad I have a handy hubby.
We love how they turned out and the boys are still over the moon about it. In fact, Scott is so excited he has been making his bed daily without being asked.
Definitely an improvement from mattresses on the floor. I'm not knocking it, the boys were still rolling out of bed for a while and i didn't want to put a lot of money into temporary beds, so this was the perfect solution. And we don't look like squatters anymore.
Love all of it!! Your dining room is exactly what we are trying to do in our soon-to-be dining room. The light fixture we love is just like yours but in a rectangle. Bravo, Campbells!
