New Bunk Beds


















We decided that it would be fun to buy the girls bunk beds. We started looking for a set casually a few months ago just to see what is available. We were very disappointed at the quality of most of the sets that we found. They were not very sturdy. We finally decided that we were not willing to pay the price that they were asking for the set that we would like. While out shopping one day, we picked up a copy of our local classified ads and decided to see if any bunk beds were available. There was only one set of wooden bunk beds listed. It seemed obvious that they would be just the ones that the Lord would provide for us, so we called.

The owners, Phil and Rita, were a very nice couple. They had bought the bunk beds a few years ago for their grandchildren to sleep in when they came to visit. They had not been used very much. They also were selling the like new mattresses with the beds. She had kept them covered with waterproof mattress covers to protect the mattress from "accidents." And, they also gave us some flannel sheets. What a bargain. We are so pleased with the bunk beds, and the girls are ecstatic! Drew and I set the bunk beds up while the girls were playing at a friends house, and when Keira saw them set up she ran to her Daddy and said, "Oh thank you, Daddy. I like my bunk beds." Yes, definitely worth every penny!!
