Playing musical chairs furniture right now on the large scale and Jayden has gotten into the swing of things. He shifted his own chair, aligned the plastic storage box and got a small makeshift table and chair set for himself.

When the music finally stops, we would have a proper bed, table and chair set for him. In his own room. I personally think IKEA is great for kids. It is rather affordable and well, it would be time to change the furniture by the time he outgrows them. They are not known for being durable but the ingenuity is pretty awesome.

Like this bed! We saw three different set ups. One at the as-is corner, without any frills. Just the bed set up for you to browse (and hopefully buy). Then in the mockup sets, there was one with the bed in the ‘upright’ position with loft bed in place and area underneath turned into another sleeping area with bed laid on the floor. And then flipped over, with the bed shielded with a starry sky canopy.

And to top it all off, I love this idea of turning the sides into a blackboard. Submitted to IKEA Hacker.

You really got to make room for ideas.
