I need a wide-angle lens to really capture the kids’ bedroom. It’s getting a wee bit full.

New crib to the right, Maggie and Anna's bunk center, Jordan's crib to the left. Three dressers in the room and a full, narrow closet behind me. A happy, busy little room.
I do wish sleeping furniture was all half-sized, though. Maybe if I’d thought ahead, I could have figured it out… but standard-sizes it is. Anna and Maggie can fit in toddler beds (a toddler bunk bed?) and the cribs could be half that size, at least the baby one.
As it is, the bunk bed doubles as play space.

I was just telling Nathan we need to do something for Hazel’s bed. Her toddler mattress is all springs now. It was Abiah’s originally. We plan to get a full size bed and have the girl’s just sleep together all “Laura and Mary” like. It’s more for me than for them.
When people have asked how we manage to make it with six people in a three bedroom/one bath I remind them that others have had to do with less. I have to remind myself of that sometimes too. I shared a room with my sisters until I was 18 and I LOVED it. There were times when I didn’t but for the most part it was really good for us. Once Jackson is old enough he and Abiah will have a boy room. That will be a fun transition! So happy for you guys!
Necessity is the mother of invention!
Heh, Three bedroom one bath! All six of us are in two bedrooms. Thank God the older three sleep like rocks. I love the set up Rachel… Ive never heard of toddler bunk beds. Hm.
Yep, we’re 2 bed/1bath… Brian’s office is in our bedroom and mine is in the living room. I am 100% certain we have more square footage than you, though! I am continually impressed you all fit in your smaller place! I’m going to start calling you my European cousin.
Toddler beds turned into a bunkbed has been done. Check out how Susanna fits her 7 boys into their bedroom:
