Ikea hack the kura bed... The beginning of this project.

The Kura bed project:

Yesterday, we went to ikea and purchased the Kura bed. We had seen this bed on our last trip to ikea and knew it had potential. Then, on one of those Pinterest nights I found our new project....

 

Over the next few weeks I will keep everyone posted on the progress of this project. I have to admit we are just going by this image for instructions. My husband will have to figure out everything as he goes. 

First, since we are out of garage space and we live in a two story house. We have decide to build the bed in my sons room and add pieces to the bed there. I have to admit building is the easy part; painting will definetly be a challenge. 

Wish us luck, we need this bed done ASAP.

We have another baby on the way who needs my son's crib :)

The floating bookshelves are finally done !!

Its been months since we started this project. First, we didn't know what we were doing so we only made 2 shelves. Now, we've added the last 2. I plan on putting art work at the very top. I'm working on a you tube video on how we made and installed the bookshelves. Hope to finish it soon :) here are some pictures of the finished product.

Playroom Mural...Is it almost done ?

It's been a while since I updated the work my husband has done on the mural. It seems every week we get a little closer to finishing it. There is still some tree and grass details that need to be added. We are contemplating adding a lion, unfortunately we need to start cleaning out the garage and the mural has taken us a couple of months already. Seems like this is how it's going to stay for a while, that garage isn't going to organize itself.

Painting a wall mural (update)

My husband has been able to make some progress on the mural today. The details that need to be added take time, since the chalk outline is only an simple aid.Its easy in a way, kind of like a coloring book just in a larger scale.
