The Coolest Built-In Bunk Beds (and DIY Brass Hardware)

<a href="http://vivafullhouse.blogspot.com/">Christina</a> is one of my favorite people. She is as kind, talented and gorgeous as the day is long. The last time I was in Arizona, I swung by her new house for a little tour. I'm going to beg her to let me share everything here on LGN when she's finished (I'll probably have to arm wrestle the editors at Elle Decor for it - it's <i>SO</i> good!).<br /><br />In case you haven't seen these yet, and since we were talking about <a href="http://littlegreennotebook.blogspot.com/2013/06/nook-bunk.html" target="_blank">cool bunk beds</a> the other day, I thought I'd share the built-in bunks Christina did in her triplet sons' room. So, so cool right? That railing is unreal.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo IMG_4177.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Album%205/IMG_4177.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><br />One of my favorite parts of the bed is <a href="http://vivafullhouse.blogspot.com/2013/01/all-squished-together-diy-hardware.html" target="_blank">the DIY hardware</a> Christina made by spray painting pipes! I've made curtain rods out of pipes before, but never oversize pulls. The brass spray paint takes them to a whole new level.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo IMG_4175.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Album%205/IMG_4175.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I love how chunky these are. Anything smaller would have been lost on the beds. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo IMG_4174.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Album%205/IMG_4174.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">See what I mean by talented?! </div><br /><i>PS Christina shared <a href="http://littlegreennotebook.blogspot.com/2010/07/full-house-girls-room-details.html" target="_blank">a little tour of her twin daughters' bedroom here</a>, back in the day. Still love that room. :)</i>

Lately on Fab

Tonight I'm hopping on plane to go do a project install. I should be packing my bags or cleaning up the house. What am I doing instead? Online shopping. It's not my fault though - there is so much cool home stuff on <a href="http://fab.com/?utm_campaign=littlegreen&utm_source=mediakix&utm_type=p&utm_medium=blog&ltb=on" target="_blank">Fab</a> right now! I'm dying over those <a href="http://fab.com/sale/21937/product/407032/?utm_campaign=littlegreen&utm_source=mediakix&utm_type=p&utm_medium=blog&ltb=on" target="_blank">gray lawn chairs</a>. And I've been looking for a big dog bed for Linus to lay on and this greek key pattern in the prettiest pale blue might just do the trick. Won't his pretty silver fur look great against that pale blue? :) Sweet, sweet Linus. I love that boy.<br /><br />Here are some of my other favorites that are available on Fab for the next couple of days.<br /><br /><center></center><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo FAB1.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Album%205/FAB1.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://fab.com/browse/pillows-throws/?utm_campaign=littlegreen&utm_source=mediakix&utm_type=p&utm_medium=blog&ltb=on" target="_blank">1</a>  //  <a href="http://fab.com/browse/pillows-throws/?utm_campaign=littlegreen&utm_source=mediakix&utm_type=p&utm_medium=blog&ltb=on" target="_blank">2</a>  //  <a href="http://fab.com/browse/furniture/?utm_campaign=littlegreen&utm_source=mediakix&utm_type=p&utm_medium=blog&ltb=on" target="_blank">3</a>  //  <a href="http://fab.com/browse/furniture/?utm_campaign=littlegreen&utm_source=mediakix&utm_type=p&utm_medium=blog&ltb=on" target="_blank">4</a>  //  <a href="http://fab.com/browse/rugs/?utm_campaign=littlegreen&utm_source=mediakix&utm_type=p&utm_medium=blog&ltb=on" target="_blank">5</a>  //  <a href="http://fab.com/browse/rugs/?utm_campaign=littlegreen&utm_source=mediakix&utm_type=p&utm_medium=blog&ltb=on" target="_blank">6</a>  //  <a href="http://fab.com/browse/rugs/?utm_campaign=littlegreen&utm_source=mediakix&utm_type=p&utm_medium=blog&ltb=on" target="_blank">7</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo FAB2.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Album%205/FAB2.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://fab.com/department/pets/?utm_campaign=littlegreen&utm_source=mediakix&utm_type=p&utm_medium=blog&ltb=on" target="_blank">8</a>  //  <a href="http://fab.com/department/pets/?utm_campaign=littlegreen&utm_source=mediakix&utm_type=p&utm_medium=blog&ltb=on" target="_blank">9</a>  //  <a href="http://fab.com/department/art/?utm_campaign=littlegreen&utm_source=mediakix&utm_type=p&utm_medium=blog&ltb=on" target="_blank">10</a>  //  <a href="http://fab.com/department/art/?utm_campaign=littlegreen&utm_source=mediakix&utm_type=p&utm_medium=blog&ltb=on" target="_blank">11</a>  //  <a href="http://fab.com/browse/furniture/?utm_campaign=littlegreen&utm_source=mediakix&utm_type=p&utm_medium=blog&ltb=on" target="_blank">12</a>  //  <a href="http://fab.com/browse/furniture/?utm_campaign=littlegreen&utm_source=mediakix&utm_type=p&utm_medium=blog&ltb=on" target="_blank">13</a>  //  <a href="http://fab.com/browse/furniture/?utm_campaign=littlegreen&utm_source=mediakix&utm_type=p&utm_medium=blog&ltb=on" target="_blank">14</a></div><br />In case you haven't shopped <a href="http://fab.com/?utm_campaign=littlegreen&utm_source=mediakix&utm_type=p&utm_medium=blog&ltb=on" target="_blank">Fab</a> before, they sell a really beautifully curated collection of home, tech and fashion products, most of them for short periods of time and at really great reduced prices. And as a little personal side note - I had to change an order address once at the very last minute and the customer service people at <a href="http://fab.com/?utm_campaign=littlegreen&utm_source=mediakix&utm_type=p&utm_medium=blog&ltb=on" target="_blank">Fab</a> were completely <i>amazing</i> to work with. So friendly, so competent. :) These people really know how to run a great business, start to finish.<br /><br /><i style="background-color: white; color: #7f7f7f; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.25px;">This post was brought to you by Fab.com.

Nook Bunk

I'm helping a friend transition her young daughter's room into a shared bedroom (she's pregnant with another little girl due this summer). We're using a carpenter to build in a cute bunk bed situation. Wouldn't something like this be adorable?<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo 1999b90b9474f2228e5a654f8f348acd.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Album%205/1999b90b9474f2228e5a654f8f348acd.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><a href="http://pinterest.com/jennykomenda/kiddies/" target="_blank">via</a></i></div><br />Also, check out the vintage lucite rocker we bought last week for the same project. There's a pretty good chance it won't easily fit in the room with the dresser we're likely going to use, but seriously. How could we pass this up? If it doesn't fit, I will gladly keep the bill and find a spot in our house!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo IMG_3838.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Album%205/IMG_3838.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div>
