More building mishaps!

I've been wanting to redo Ethan's bedroom for a while now, he kinda outgrew the pirate room. So I went searching for ideas to make his tiny room cool for an almost teen boy.

I came across this hanging bed..... and he about died he wanted it so bad.

So I broke down and said sure. I went and bought all the wood, and spent (not to long, it was actually really easy) the time building it. And it looked perfect....until......I went back in his room and quickly realized his room is way to small! The ceiling is to low and because of doors and the window, it would stick out almost to the doorway and be so low that it hits you in the eye.

Josh had to tear apart the bed with a crowbar (not one of his favorite moments or mine *gulp), needless to say Ethan was heartbroken. So I came up with my own plan to make him a cool bed that he could have a fort under and be useful/practical and not take up the entire room. His closet is really quite big (thanks to my dad!!) so we got rid of his dresser and got baskets for his clothes on the closet shelves.

I got him a camo-net that he can hang, and I still need to get some things for his walls and do a little more painting.

But here is the finished bed.....

Bookshelves under the bed for weapons stash or books or whatever.......and he has a little fort, that he and his friends have been loving!
So AGAIN, a major constructing catastrophe that ended well. (Aside from the paint color on the wall, I was hoping for a little darker shade, but I really don't want to repaint any time soon.)

Random shot of the day......Emery and her dream of being a rockstar, and her sidekick Nate.
