As always, I was in a hurry, so I called Kirk.
"Um, honey, if you walk across the street, you'll see a yard sale. They have this awesome bunk bed. Can you go see how much they want for it?"
He texted me, "$20."
"Buy it."
Turns out that in order for this awesome bunk bed to achieve it's full potential, it would need to be stripped and repainted.

| THE ORIGINAL PAINT JOB |
I thought my little project would take me the better part of an afternoon.
Wrong.
It took me three trips to Lowes, about $75, and the better part of a week.
There were times - many times - I regretted even starting the project.
But I finished it, and now Alex has an awesome bunk bed to go in his already awesome room. And I'll have a memory to keep in my back pocket for the next time I see something awesome at a yard sale.

I love that bunk bed that is really awesome it really brings the rome together.
That is an AWESOME bed. I've never seen one like it.
Now at the end of it, I think it was definately worth the time put into it.
that is totally the coolest bed! looks great:) yep, love those projects that you think will only take a day or two and end up 3 weeks! (in my experience, anyway)
okay, I think that was well worth the time and money spent on it, and even more. It is sooo cool!!!
