One Heck of a Boy’s Room…

March 4, 2010

Okay, some dads are handy and some are not. You need to meet one very talented daddy (and I love the Running Man to pieces, but its NOT him).

Somewhere in Utah, a daddy built this bed for his VERY lucky son:

Check out this boat bed! The carpentry here is remarkable – the finish on the wood is gorgeous. The bed is down inside the galley so shipmates feel especially comfy and dry should a sudden storm erupt.

The sails on the boat can be raised and lowered. There is a flag hoist, so artwork can be raised to warn fellow seafarers.

The boating theme is carried throughout the rest of the room…

Treasure map anyone?

I love this two-tone painting idea. It makes a perfect chair rail without the extra wood and work. And it lightens the room up instead of painting the whole wall blue. I might just get to work on that project!

Life savers and signs…

And model boats. So fun.

And a new addition to the room for the youngest adorable who didn’t want a boat bed:

A Star Wars Speeder Ship! This wonder-bed features working dimming lights and a windshield (which is not shown here). Storage bins underneath hold their various swords, lightsabers, and play clothes. This one, like the boat bed, is the length of a twin, but the width of a crib mattress. Memory foam was again cut down to the correct size and twin sheets were re-sewn to fit.

Both the boat bed and this speeder ship have real floors in them, so when they outgrow them as a bed, they can be used as a fun play structure instead.

When I mentioned that her husband deserved some sort of an award, Emily replied, “An award? Hmmm… Praise from his boys…that’s what he gets. :)” And that made me smile!

Many, many thanks to Emily at Emmer’s Ideas for letting us take a peek in her adorables’ room. And for letting us swoon just a wee bit when we think of her handy husband.

And thanks to Dear Reader Julie for alerting me!

When I clean the room up a bit – I’ll get you a better picture of the star wars bed. 🙂 Thanks for the spotlight!
