Now I have to decide; do I use this for Kavi's actual bed (my original intent), or as a daybed for my home office? It's one inch narrower and five inches longer than standard full-size (80" long x 53" deep x 82" high), and I think would sleep her pretty well; I lay down on the futon-type cushion for a bit, and it seemed quite comfy. Should work fine for sleepovers if two little girls want to share a bed. On the other hand, would also be fun for my office, and I don't think there's any good way to attach a toddler rail to keep Kavi from falling out as she gets used to a big girl bed. Although I suppose we could just put the open end next to the wall for a year or so. If we do use it for my office, it does have the added bonus of working as extra sleeping for either a single visitor or a cozy couple. I'm torn. Opinions?
For her room, I'd be draping it with bright pink and orange fabric. For my office, not sure -- probably white chiffon sheers, but maybe with a bit of silver or gold patterning; embroidered sari fabric ideally.
Clearly, you need two.
I like Keyan’s thinking.
I’m not sure if Kavi is a mover and sleeper. My kids didn’t use the toddler conversion of their beds for very long. They pretty much moved from crib to full-sized bed. They only fell out about 2-3 times. Keep in mind J has been in a full bed for 4 years (4×365/3=<1%).
Heh. If they’d had two, I might’ve been tempted. But as it is, they only get one of these about once a year or so, I think, and you have to move fast to snag it. It’s all a little random.
Given what River has done to his beautiful dark wood convertible crib, I’d keep this in an adult-only (or adult-supervised) room. Too pretty to risk! You can always give it to her when she goes off to college, if she’s not too tall!
Heh. What did he do to it? Dare I ask?
I think Kavi’s a little old to chew on the furniture at this point… 🙂
