My girls have all gone through this stage of needing there own bed. Rylee was sleeping with Morgan in her Queen size bed, but then she decided she needed her OWN bed..so Boomer built her a sweet bed, click HERE. Now, Jos is sharing a bed with Morgan, but now needs her OWN bed. We didn't have space for a twin, so, I googled some plans to make a toddler bed. It was soooooooo fun to make. I went and got all the wood and my husband and I spent the afternoon, cutting, sanding, painting. Joslyn is now a proud of owner of her own little bed. YEAH!!!
Morgan is loving have her own bed after 6 years of sharing with sisters ;0)
I got it all primed and painted, but as Morgan would say, "I had to do my Ali touch to it". I sanded all the edges and stained them brown, to give it that, "OH, CUTE" look. It turned out FABULOUS!!!!

My little helpers cleaning it off
And the finished product. She is now sharing a room with her brother.
THE BROWN BEAR....the story: At the bottom of the post I am going to give you the site, so you can make your own bed. On this person's site, the finished product had a brown bear on the bed. So, my daughter was SURE she HAD to have a BROWN BEAR on the bed. So, funny. Thank goodness we owned a brown bear, and it sits proudly on the bed!!!
And now Joslyn has moved in..look close I think you can still see the bed :0)
Oh, the details. The funniest thing was when she was organizing all of her critters, she kept saying to herself, "It just needs something else", seriously, I think your good!!!
And the finished product being used!! AAAHHHH!!!! I am so proud!!!
(notice the kitty's at the end of the bed have been turned around to watch her sleep. She does that every night!!
