Bunk Beds Rock!

A few weeks ago, Jeff's step-dad called me and asked if we wanted to take an extra set of bunk beds off his hands. Umm, free bunk-beds, yes please! And the best part is that they are cute. Metal frame and fire engine red. At first my plan was to paint the frame black, but after much debate (just ask Jeff how much I went back and forth...) I finally decided to keep them red and do a red and gray mod theme in their room. At first Carson was disappointed we weren't going with an army theme, but all it took was me telling him that Great-Grandpa Carson's favorite color was red and he was on board.

Its hard to tell from the picture, but Friday night Jeff and I stayed up way too late painting their walls a soft gray. Gotta love gray! After seeing gray boy rooms on some of my most favorite sewing blogs, I was convinced. You can check them out here, here, and here (especially the last one! Love the giant red letters on the wall! And that monster on the bed...I gotta find one of those!).
It will still be a few more weeks before I get their room all decorated and I'll post pictures then. My camera is taking horrible, blurry pictures so maybe (hint, hint, Tiffany) I can get someone to come take a picture that looks half way decent. I am on the hunt for an SLR, so if you find a good deal anywhere PLEASE let me know. I just have to convince Jeff it is a wise way to use our tax return...

What a cute shot of all your men! Love the idea of fire engine red bunk beds and I bet it's adorable with the gray walls. I'd love to come take some pictures of it, and I'll be on the lookout for a good deal for you. Although mine wasn't the Nikon I really wanted, I got mine for $280 as a refurb, and I've seriously loved it.
I guess it's time to go to bed now since I'll be seeing you in about 5 hours. Sometimes work gives me insomnia but that means I'll be dragging in the morning. :)
