I recently have become obsessed with Craigslist. Over Easter weekend I found a loft/bunk bed on there for $50. It's solid wood, but the kids had put stickers all over it, wrote on it with Sharpies and had scratched words and pictures into it. It was a mess, but I thought with a coat of paint it could be pretty cool. So I bought and thus began an entire room re-do for my son (5 yo). After I bought the loft, painted it and put it in his room, I realized that it was still decorated for him when he was born. It was time to do some updating! So a month later, I've finished the $50 loft and re-decorated his room. I'm SO excited with how everything turned out, so I have to share. First here's what the loft started looking like (not my pictures or my house)

Then this is what my son's room looked like before the re-do:

Then one painted loft and a couple can of paint thrown at the walls later... I have this. HUGE thanks to Rebecca for the fabulous collage idea too!

I almost don't want my boys to even go in there and mess it all up! Hee hee!
 
That is gorgeous! The dark blue against those light blue walls look great. What an awesome find for $50 even if you did have to put a little paint and elbow grease into it. That photo collage is amazing also! I'm in awe!
 
Yeah. That collage pretty much rocks! And that loft is awesome! Love the built in desk. Fab makeover Karen!
 
Wow that looks awesome! I love the colors you chose for the loft and walls. That is an awesome bed too! My 5 yo would love that!
 
What a great find, and great job repainting it and the room! It looks fabulous!
