Boat Beds are done... almost!





We set them up in Mari's room. The painting and varnishing took longer than expected, with the wait times for drying and all that. Daniel bought some frog tape from Home Depot, which is how to got the blue stripes so straight, and it was amazing! We have tried other types of painters tape and masking tape and always had trouble with paint bleeding under. Not so with frogtape! I enjoyed using it so much that today I used it painting the bathroom ceilings.










So, we still need to made headboards and railings for the boat bed, but we are not really sure how we want to make them yet, and they can easily be added in Mari's room, so there is no rush. We need to make a ladder too, but might hold off on installing that to save worry about her falling off.
I've enjoyed looking for buoys and other decor online. We found some small, yellow ones at Overtons that are only $13 apiece.
More to come on the bed next week!
