The big reveal
The bedrooms are starting to look pretty good. Here are the new loft beds in TM and D.'s room.
These next pictures are to try to show you how the two beds fit into this room. The room is crazy because of the high volume of openings and radiator and funky short walls making it virtually impossible to arrange furniture.
And the rest of yesterday's progress. Look G. and L.'s room really does have a floor! (We were beginning to wonder.) J. and I can now enter their room at night without danger to ourselves.
Here is K.'s room (he shares with B. when B. is home... that is a trundle bed which gets pulled out when needed.) I realize that his floor is already covered, but it is all Legos and they go back into the black bin when he is done and the black bin goes into that square bookcase. Yes, it is the IKEA Expedit bookcase, the only thing I seem capable of decorating my home with.
Of course, the bedrooms are looking pretty decent, but it means the mess has just been moved to another area waiting for more sorting and purging. Here is the upstairs hall at the moment.
After this round of junk gets dealt with, it's on to H.'s room where we need to figure out how to get two more beds in, plus another dresser... and still have it be functional.
TM's bed
Adding the decorations was his first order of business. The stark, all-white finish just wasn't working for him.
He added his won artwork as well.
D.'s bed
He chose to have his desk go the other way.

Comments
Shecki -- I actually dislike bunks and lofts because they are so hard to make. At least when the child is older they can change the sheets by themselves and I don't have to. I think two sets of bunk beds and one loft was the most we had at one time.

Also, to answer Angie, in California, you can only have 2 children to a room for homestudy purposes. Sq ft doesn't matter. You have to show that the new child will be sharing with no more than one sibling. (Although, interestingly, I had a sw tell me, "Doesn't matter what you do with your own kids. You could put all of them in one room, if you want. Just no more than 2 to a room for the new ones.")
