DIY: Car Bed

A plain and simple bed from IKEA was made to look like a car bed using vinyl cutouts. The bed used is the Vikare bed (which is no longer manufactured).  Finding an inexpensive and simple bed is fairly easy - check IKEA, thrift stores, garage sales and amazon.

The "grill" and "headlights" are made of black contact paper or vinyl. Add a license plate for additional fun. Via here originally from here.

Inexpensive Headboards For Kids & Teens

I recently blogged about inexpensive kids/teen headboards here (all of them under $150).  This post is about headboards in the $200 - $299 range. I still think it's reasonable to purchase a headboard in the $200 range. The great thing about headboards is you can mount them to the wall like hanging a painting. Place the bed frame/mattress in front of headboard and there is no need for a foot board.

Loving this pink tufted headboard.  Here's a post about DIY headboards.
