For the past 4 days my parents have been visiting from the Great White North!
Which means…I have done plenty of shopping, eating, visiting, playing, and not much of anything else.
It has been so fun, we love it when they visit.
(Doesn’t my mom look super young? I am hoping those genes pass on…)
We did manage to make it to Ikea and purchase this bunk bed for Emory.
After realizing the original loft bed I wanted wouldn’t fit with an 8′-0″ ceiling, we had to get creative.
We bought the Mydel bunk bed from for $159.00 and converted it into a loft bed!
It is much lower to the ground and was super easy to convert.
I still have to paint it and add fabric to the sides, but Emory sure doesn’t care…she is obseseed.
I’ll share more pictures and details soon, but for now, I am off to enjoy my family 🙂
Oh my goodness, when I saw that first picture I was like, “danielle looks a little diffrent”. I can’t belive that is your mom! Cant wait to see the finished bed!
Ahhh so cute the bed looks amazing! Emory looks so excited 🙂 Have fun with the fam!

You look just like your mother so I am SURE that those wonderful genes have been inherited! Enjoy the visit – family is SO PRECIOUS! Jalon
Wow, your mom looks great and you look just like her. I’m sure the bed is going to be great! Charmaine
Your mom looks amazing! I agree that you look just like her. I’m excited to see what you’re going to do with the bed. My oldest daughter wants a loft and I think it will work well especially since she has a small room.
Emory is going to have so much fun with that bed! Your mom is beautiful and yes, you look just like her!!!
You look just like your mom…I had to stare at the picture to see if it was you or not! Can’t wait to see how the bed turns out!
Wow I thought you were kidding that was your mom, I thought it was you, you are both beautiful and I love the bed and all the excitement:)
Your mother is beautiful & I can see the resemblance! Enjoy your time.
Enjoy your family time, Danielle and please say hello to your parents for me 🙂 The loft looks great, even thought you had to customize it a bit.
What fun your daughter must be having with her loft bed! And I love the animal plates on the wall behind her. If you’re looking for fabric for the bed, we have lots of kid-friendly fabrics. Try indoor/outdoor fabrics; they’re usually machine washable and easy to keep fresh and clean!
Yes, your mom looks so young. You’re lucky. I’m so happy to hear that the Ikea bunk bed can be converted to a loft bed. How did you do it?
So excited to find this post! I’ve been considering a loft or bunks for my 4 yo, and this is a perfect mix. How old was your daughter when she started sleeping on the top? Thanks!!
HOW WERE YOU ABLE TO CONVERT THE BUNK BED INTO A LOFT BED?
Can you tell us how you were able to remove the bottom bunk? I love what you did! Been on the look out for a loft bed myself.
