The Blue Bunk Bed - Η Μπλε Κουκέτα

Today I am going to continue the transformation of my daughter’s bedroom, the blue room as we now call it. When we moved to Greece there were no Ikea stores. We had moved a lot of furniture, but I did not think I needed a bunk bed till I had my 2 girls. What to do? I had taken one of their catalogues with me and so using the measurements from the catalogue I was able to go to a carpenter and order a bunk bed which looked like the MYDAL from Ikea.

If you have been following me you know what I have done so far. But I have not shown you what the room looked like before. So maybe this is a good time to show you a little before …

Σήμερα θα συνεχίσω τον μετασχηματισμό της κρεβατοκάμαράς της κόρης μου, η όπως το αποκαλούμε, το μπλε δωμάτιο .

Όταν μετακομίσαμε στην Ελλάδα δεν υπήρχαν τα καταστήματα Ikea. Είχαμε μετακινήσει πολλά έπιπλα, αλλά δεν νόμιζα ότι χρειαζόμουν μια κουκέτα μέχρι που είχα τα 2 κορίτσια μου. Τι να κάνω? Είχα πάρει ένα από τους καταλόγους Ikea και έτσι, χρησιμοποιώντας τις μετρήσεις από τον κατάλογο πήγα σε έναν ξυλουργό και παράγγειλα αυτό.

Γνωρίζετε τι έχω κάνει μέχρι τώρα. Αλλά δεν σας έχω δείξει πως έμοιαζε πριν το δωμάτιο. Έτσι ίσως αυτή είναι μια καλή στιγμή για να σας δείξω το πριν …

The bed is incredibly strong and made from solid wood. Four kids have jumped up and down on that bed and used it as a playground. But now it is time to revamp it a bit.

Το κρεβάτι είναι απίστευτα ισχυρό και είναι κατασκευασμένο από μασίφ ξύλο. Τέσσερα παιδιά έχουν πηδήξει πάνω και κάτω σε αυτό το κρεβάτι και το χρησιμοποίησαν ως παιδική χαρά. Αλλά τώρα ήρθε η ώρα να το αναδιοργανώσουμε λίγο.

Ideally, I should paint it but at this point it is not an option. So instead I am going to try and tone down the wood a bit. Here is my easy solution.

Ιδανικά, θα έπρεπε να το βάψω, αλλά σε αυτό το σημείο δεν αποτελεί επιλογή. Έτσι, θα προσπαθήσω να και χαμηλώσω τους τόνους του ξύλο λίγο. Εδώ είναι η εύκολη λύση μου.

I just added some fabric to the head and foot of each bed. In the case of the head board, I have inserted some old blankets to give it a bit of a cushion.

Απλά πρόσθεσα λίγο ύφασμα στο κεφάλι και τα πόδια του κάθε κρεβατιού. Στην περίπτωση της κεφαλής, έχω τοποθετηθεί κάποιες παλιές κουβέρτες για να είναι

αναπαυτικό.

It was that simple. The blue stripes tie in with the rest of the room and give the bed a pulled together look. And that is the end for my Blue Room. In my next post I will show you the rest of the room, and all the toil I have put myself through.

Ήταν τόσο απλό. Οι μπλε ρίγες δένουν με το υπόλοιπο του δωματίου και δένουν στο κρεβάτι μια συμμαζεμένη όψη. Και αυτό είναι το τέλος για το Μπλε Δωμάτιο. Στο επόμενο post μου θα σας δείξω το υπόλοιπο του δωματίου, και όλο το κόπο που έχω κάνει.

Mary, it is awesome how some fabric can change an entire room. I love the detail of the Frankenstein lamp behind the bunk bed. Can't wait to see the rest of the room!

Pili, your wish is coming true.. I am finished and will upload the room next time! Thanks for your sweet words.

So fabulous, Mary! The fabric head/foot boards are GENIUS! If my daughter, with her own blue bedroom, complains about all the wood of her loft bed, I'll show her this idea. You might very well save the day! ;)

I hope so Elizabeth. We need to find frugal ways to update their rooms because their style changes every year...lol

Hi my favorite first friend. Thak you for the compliment. It is you who are the artist!!
