I got Zoe the Kura. And we painted the panels-facing-out with magnetic & chalkboard paint. The panels-facing-in we put the stick-on chalkboard stuff (like shelf paper).

It's a great bed!

awesome! I heart Ikea stuff. I've bought several things there and found them all quite durable (I don't know what people do to their Ikea stuff that they say it's not). The only issue is that it doesn't always hold up well to being moved, but I think the furniture would do fine if you're careful. I had a great bookshelf from Ikea for a few years, and it just got nicked a little in transit. It's now finding good use at my friends' house.

I'm looking forward to pics. What an exciting process for you and the kids :-) they may be growing up some, but at least they still are having fun being kid like. I wish I had a bed tent!

I'm seriously considering that bed for when Hootie gets a bit older. We've got low ceilings here but I remember how much I envied all my friends with bunk beds so something like a short loft would be perfect.

That loft bed looks promising for Hannah's room. Do you know what amount of weight it's rated for (Hannah likes having one of us with her while she falls asleep)? I checked the website and it gives dimensions but not the max weight capacity. Thanks!

Our Kura has had 200 lbs in it without an issue.

Really! When I climbed up on it to put the sheet on, it felt awfully creaky. Maybe I was just being nervous.

Anyway, me plus Ruthie probably comes right up to 200 pounds, or very near it!

Of course, it also says not to let kids under 6 on the top bunk, which Isaac reminds Ruthie of every time she climbs up there. ;)
