1878. Bob the Builder asks for help

A good friend reminded me that this project is likely more for me than it is for them. Probably, but they don’t know whats good for them. They’ll love it when it is done. The loft aspect is what will make it fun. The loft effectively creates space below each bed to give each boy his own private space. I’m still working out how it is going to look and that is the basis of this blog. I’m stuck on the bed design.

Right now I’m considering a U shaped layout that allows for a bed on each of the three parts of the U and creates space above and below for privacy. My issues are numerous. There is the issue of the giant Snorlax  plush toy bed living below one of the beds now. This fun yet secondary bed is part of the room and part of the space. It has to live below the bed because there is no place else to put it. No matter which part of the bed it goes under, Snorlax effectively eliminates a private space for one of the boys, leaving two with spaces and creating yet another headache for me. This the becomes a project that causes problems and inequality.

So what is the solution? Right now the beds are merely wasted space and I want to be able to do something useful with that space. It may be that the three spaces are redesigned not as personal space but as purposeful space. Only, to what purpose?

The other major issue is height of the bed section. 30″ allows them to sit up for now. 37″ allows me to sit up. How high should a bed be?
