Yesterday, we bought a new bed for our Daniel. The style is like the bed in the picture above, except it is stained cherry. We also got a chest of drawers- is that what other people call them? We always say "chest of drawers" here.
This was one of my big stressors of late: what will Daniel sleep on? A toddler bed? A single bed? Or should we get a double (since Mom or Dad are probably going to be lying down with him for a while!)?
Actually, we initially considered bunk beds. Then decided against them. Then, we almost bought a set of bunk beds yesterday. Anyways, we came around to deciding that a single/twin bed would be the wisest choice. In a more "masculine" colour. LOL!- there's not much masculine in this house filled with girls, barbie dolls and hair clips everywhere you look- but I have a feeling that will change.
We started shopping weeks ago for a bed. But the other half is pretty picky. No particle board. Real wood only. And not pine. (Me, I like pine.). Finally, we found a furniture store with the real deal in real hardwood for decent prices. Yep, 100% Canadian birch.
So, we'll have a bed. And a chest of drawers. Now all we need is to plaster the walls, paint, and put up the border. I know, I know... what can I say? We're a little bass ackwards. But at least I don't have to worry where he'll sleep now. (Of course, if he's like our daughters, he'll be in with us half the time anyways!)

Oh my gosh, at first I thought that pic was his actual room, and I freaked out! LOL.
Anyway, looks like a great choice (esp. in cherry), and who doesn't work better under pressure?
I have been stalking children's furniture websites for some time now -- can't wait to actually make a purchase!
Oh, we call them dressers here. But I do know what a chest of drawers is.
Congrats on making a good bed choice for Daniel. Looking forward to seeing pictures of the room as it comes together.
How exciting to think an adorable little boy will soon be sleeping in a bed just like that in your home. Congratulations on getting closer to that goal.
I like pine, too. I'm so curious - what color are you painting the walls?
Love decorating for a little boy. I'm sure he will love your choices.
Carrie, the plan is to do the walls a light blue below the border, and a darker blue above it with white clouds... the border is Winnie the Pooh floating in the air at the end of a red balloon. Can't go wrong with Pooh Bear!
O.K Carolyn, I have been TOTALLY out of it with Olivia being sick for the last couple weeks. Did I totally miss your referral here?? I tried looking at older posts but can't see it. I'm reading this post and you mention Danielle with pics of a bed. So a boy?? How old?? What's his SN??
EMAIL ME GIRL!!! I'm dying here to know all about your new addition.
