New triple bunks.

Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :) 
This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam



If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We would love to see your take on it! xo, Sam


Edited to add: With the increased interest in these plans there is no way that I can email them to everyone. I'm sorry! But you are more than welcome to follow the link and download them for free through our shop. When you give your name and email address a download link will automatically be emailed to you.

Edited to addWe now know the meaning of viral! Ha! That's exactly what happened to the triple bunk bed plans. When the idea came to give them away for free our thought was that a few other big families out there may like the idea and we would be able to help them out. Over the last few months being able to share the triple bunks for free has brought us many new big-family friends and that has been very exciting! We never dreamed that the idea would be this popular! Unfortunately, it has also brought a lot of spam, negative attention, and more email than we can keep up with. We recently decided that the best way to deal with this problem would be to charge a fee for the plans, a price low enough that everyone would be able to afford them, but enough to deter the spam problems. We felt almost guilty for making the decision, but with a family of five children to raise and a home based business to run something just had to be done. We are very sorry for the inconvenience, and we hope you still love us. :) Because apparently we are very offensive to some folks. ;) You can now find the plans using THIS LINK.

Those are awesome!! Wish my husband was so handy!
Beds take up so much room in kids bedrooms, when they can have all that extra room to play !!! Camp is fun, now home is like Camp...!!!

I love this! How did your husband make these? Does he have a pattern? I am a mother of 4 children, including three triplet boys and we have been trying to come up with a "design" for a DIY bunkbed, and this is fabulous! My email is hermanaarmga@hotmail.com. Thank you so much!

I am so excited for beds like this...

I really love the arrangement of the boys' beds in the corner, but is that top bunk really sturdy enough to take the jumping and bouncing?
Jessica said…
Wow I LOVE these! Amazing!!

May I ask... do you know how much approximately all of the materials cost? I'd love to know the total price before making a decision to build this or not. Thanks!

I LOVE YOUR BUNK BEDS! My 2 boys already have bunk beds, but the set is getting old and we will soon need to replace. What a money saver building them yourself! I am going to print your instructions and see if I can talk my hubby into building a set for our boys.

My hubby and I are going to build the bunk for a girls' room but instead of 3 beds we're going to build a wardrobe on the very bottom. WONDERFUL, HELPFUL IDEA!!! love it!

These are great but what size of mattress do they fit?
Samantha Caffee said…
Mike, it's just a standard twin mattress. :)
Sabrina said…
Very cool. Love it. Great for small houses too.
Donna said…
Hubby, kids, and I made these beds today for the girls' room. It cost about $200, and took just one day. They are perfect, and super EASY!! We built the corner version, but when we do the boys' room, we're going to combine the patterns, and have 2 middle bunks. We only have 4 boys in that room now, so it will be perfect. Thank you so much for this wonderful pattern. :-) My boys can't wait until we do theirs!
Paula said…
We made something similar for our three boys. Just have to be careful that the child on top is facing correctly so that when sick he's not surprising the child in the middle (perpendicular). It happened more than once with us! NOT FUN!

Roughly how much did you spend to make one set of the triple bunks? Thanks!

I priced it at the Home Depot site and it came out to $162.00
I am going to build one for my three girls next week.

For the boy's bunk, how far apart vertically are the bunks? Have you found that the spacing works well? Does everyone have enough space, I mean?
These beds are so cute. These would be one of the coolest kid’s beds I have seen. I am certain that your little ones are so excited about these. You certainly have some great ideas and thank you for sharing. This is such an inspiration!

I love these. My girls are begging to share a room, but the room they would share seems to small for three seperate beds. We were concerned they would fight over who got to sleep on the bunkbed, but this is the perfect solution. I would LOVE to have the plans if you are giving them out. amberandcharles@gmail.com
Rachel said…
Just found your post via "viral" pinterest. :) Sorry people are giving you a hard time. So sad that people think that hiding behind a computer screen gives them the excuse to be nasty. I may be back to your shop sometime in the future. We are expecting babies 4&5 and are going to end up with 2 lads and 3 little ladies in our home. I've been thinking triple bunks might be a good idea once we get all the girls in the same room. :) Thanks for a great post!

Oh my goodness. Don't feel guilty about asking for a price. Holy smokes, these are great. We have 6 kids, 5 girls and 1 boy (poor kid but at least he's the oldest, 13 nest week). I saw a post about a year ago that had joined bunks that would sleep seven, contacted the builder and he refused to ship or to sell us a plan (we would have paid good money too!) thank you for sharing this and I have no issue paying you for the plan. Bless you and your family girl and your hubs is quite the handy man!

The Handmade Dress Infomercial: Do you suffer from scrached DVD's?

Do your children cry when they can't watch their favorite movie because of irritating scratches? Are you sick of paying good money for movies that are scratched minutes after you take them from the case? Do you often wish that we could just go back to VHS because you could leave them out in the rain, bring them in and use them for a coaster, and then let the baby throw it for fun and it would STILL WORK!?
