Are bunk beds on your project list this year? 📌

Are bunk beds on your project list this year? 📌 One of my favorite details in our bunk bed build is this peg board. In what otherwise would have been dead space, is now a fun little living collage, filled with the girls’ favorite things: books, photos, pins, mementos, and of course the Yoto player. 🎧

I was inspired to style the peg board after finding this adorable pillow from @sohakeiki on our Hawaii trip. My kind of souvenir. I think it’s the perfect touch! 🤗

Would you add a peg board to a kids room? #abbottabodebunkbeds

NO MATH drawer boxes ✋🏻Built some really simp

NO MATH drawer boxes ✋🏻Built some really simple drawer boxes for my daughter’s closet. Here’s the easiest way to build them without doing any math.

⚪️ Install drawer slides first
⚪️ Cut your side pieces (length will be the same as your drawer slides)
⚪️ Attach side pieces to drawer slides
⚪️ Measure width between two pieces (take measurement in front, middle and back and use the smallest measurement)
⚪️ Cut front and back pieces to size
⚪️ Assemble box with wood glue and nails
⚪️ Cut bottom piece and attach with wood glue and nails
⚪️ Do a little dance cause you just made a drawer box! 🙌🏼

This is the easiest way to build a simple drawer box with little to no measuring. It’s a great beginner friendly way to try drawers. You can buy stock boards and make cuts with a circular saw or miter saw! This is only my second time building drawers from scratch. You can do this. #abbottabodebunkbeds

EVERYTHING I DO before I post a piece of content … all while actually *doing* the project x however many pieces of content you make per project! 🤗

How about you? What did I miss?

This is video from our real life: not styled, unfi

This is video from our real life: not styled, unfiltered, unedited. I was in the kitchen when I noticed my daughter at the window and it stopped me in my tracks. I grabbed my phone to capture that moment because this — this is the reason I DIY. Yes, I want things to be pretty, but I also want everything to serve a purpose. I wanted a window seat WITH a cushion so they could lay there staring out the window, basking in the sun. I imagined this very moment before I built it.

Later that afternoon, the girls called me into the room to watch their Toy Story production and my heart exploded. I felt SO happy seeing them play together in these spaces that we made just for them. 🥹 Our spaces are meant to be lived-in and well-loved. Our spaces are made for *us*, not anyone else. Sometimes I lose sight of that in the IG world. I needed this reminder today. This is my why. ❤️
