Before:
You can see that we have a bookcase, a crib, a bunk bed and a chest of drawers/changing table.
After:
You see that we have a bookcase, a toddler bed, a loft bed, a pack 'n' play, another toddler bed, and the same chest of drawers/changing table.
This gives us a little more play area on the floor and sleeping arrangements for four.
Here's how it's done...
Crib - $60 purchased over 4 years ago. It is a drop side crib and can no longer be sold. It will now become a garden trellis.
Bunk Bed - $35 Value Village steal of a deal (regularly $150 new at Ikea) plus $10 in missing hardware purchased 2 years ago.
Twin Mattress was a gift from my mom.
Crib Mattress came with the crib.
New (to us) Pair of Toddler Beds: $10... for the pair.
New (to us) Loft Bed: $40.
Second Crib Mattress was given to us a few months ago. We stored it in the crib for a while (see picture).
Tomorrow morning, a lady is going to come pick up the bunk bed. She's going to pay us $90.
Let's do that math...Price of the old set: 60 + 35 + 10 = $105Price for the "new" set: 10 + 40 = $50Refund for the old set: $90Total spent in 4 years: $65Fitting 4 small children in the same room: Priceless (plus a Garden Trellis and reigning Championn of Cheap... bonus!)
Each kiddo has a Nana blanket. |
