Decorating A Toddler’s Room: The Bed

4 Oct

deltasleighbed

Before Boogie was born, my mom bought us a Simplicity 3-n-1 crib. Since we were preparing to move, we didn’t set up a nursery, instead we coslept. In August of ’08, we moved and made plans to set up the nursery, but we continued to cosleep. Due to lack of space, we ended up turning Boogie’s room in to the office. Some time in between the crib was recalled, so my mom had it shipped back for a refund. Fast forward to now. We’ve moved again and Boogie now has his own room. It is not in danger of becoming our office, we’ve got plenty of space.

At 17 months, we feel it’s about time we introduce him to his own bed. We had planned on converting the crib to a toddler bed before it was recalled. After the recall, we decided we’d get a simple character bed, nothing fancy. But Boogie really isn’t in to characters, I’d hate to force them on him. And with a character bed, we wouldn’t have as much freedom with bedding in different color schemes that may not necessarily match. Enter the Delta Sleigh Toddler Bed. The folks over at Delta Children’s Products were kind enough to send us the Sleigh Toddler Bed in Natural. It’s such a classy little bed. It’s a grown up’s bed scaled to toddler size.

Greg put it together in less than 30 minutes with no issues other than needing an L-wrench for a few screws. Luckily, we had an L-wrench that we saved from furniture we had put together previously. This bed is lightweight, yet sturdy. I just love the natural finish. It compliments any type of bedding. Take a look at Mr. Boogie’s new bed!

My mom has the mattress, so once we get it set up with the bedding (can you guess what print we chose?), I’ll post an update! I’m so excited for my lil man! Don’t mistake the excitement for wanting to get him the heck out of our bed, I really am excited for him!

Note: It looks like the outlets aren’t covered in the picture, they’re clear.

I love it. It’s so cute. The wood makes it look very slick. The design is also nice.

This looks like a well built bed! I love the wood and the style!

That looks like a great bed! I’m thinking about getting my little man a toddler bed soon, he is 14 months so in about 3 to 4 more months, I will be hitting up Sears!

that is a really nice bed! It will last quite awhile for him. I think the out of this world bedding is what you chose?

5 Mir October 11, 2009 at 9:41 pm

I do like the natural finish on the bed and you can change it anytime you want something different! We’re looking forward to decorating a nursery too as soon as we move too.
Except we’ll have go to with some girly bedding. Did you choose trains, planes and trucks?

I love this bed, especially the natural finish. It will fit any decor and colors. And, let’s see… wild animals bedding?!

That really is a beautiful bed- we didn’t get a 3-in-1 for our baby, but now I’m kind of wishing we had… You’ll definitely have to post pictures with the bedding when you get it!

This is such a beautiful bed. I love the shape of it. I like the Trains, Planes and Trucks Toddler Bedding.

It is a great bed! It will go with a lot of different decor. I think you chose the Under Construction bedding.

11 DEE October 8, 2009 at 7:53 pm

I CANT WAIT TILL i CAN BUY KAYSON A LIL BED JUST LIKE THAT :(

12 Cee October 7, 2009 at 9:11 pm

Such a cute bed. I like the natural finish, because it can be used in a boy or girl’s room. As for the bedding, I am totally partial to the tea party theme, but I’m thinking about my daughter ;) BTW, totally irrelevant to this post, but I love your glasses in the banner at the top!! Where did you get them?

Such a cute bed. I wish I had something like that when I was younger.
It doesn’t look very sturdy to me though. Please prove me wrong. :D

14 Charlene October 7, 2009 at 1:44 pm

Love the bed, I would pick the Under Construction theme. Thats what my son would love.

15 jeanine October 6, 2009 at 12:58 pm

my guess for the bedding is something disney. maybe wall-e?

16 Karen Mead October 6, 2009 at 9:07 am

I really love the bed. It looks very safe and secure and I know your Boogie will just love sleeping in it! I think you chose the Blue Plaid bedding :)

17 Peggy Gorman October 5, 2009 at 1:23 pm

Beautiful bed! It will go with any color decor that you will have ,I like the natural wood. I think Booogie will be very happy sleeping in his new bed!

18 Carol October 5, 2009 at 11:45 am

Really lovely bed! Your taste is the same as mine!

19 lilshuga2001 October 5, 2009 at 11:24 am

OMG!! THis is NICER than my bed! No fair!! :(

20 Idaho Jill October 5, 2009 at 10:14 am

I, too, love this bed! This is the one I would choose, too – my daughter is 2 1/2 (today!) and she is still in her crib – I am just scared that she will be up and about while we are sleeping, so I haven’t made the transition yet…soon, soon…

21 Angela Bailey October 5, 2009 at 9:31 am

I love the new bed. It looks so grown up. I bet you chose the Out of This World bedding. I really like that one.

22 Erika October 4, 2009 at 11:12 pm

I just found your website and it’s so cute! I love the toddler bed. My toddler has one exactly like it too!

23 Courtney October 4, 2009 at 11:12 pm

I love the bed! I think it’s a really nice toddler bed and I think the wild animal set would go well with it :)

24 Cat October 4, 2009 at 8:37 pm

That’s a beautiful toddler bed. We have one similar for our daughter Kaydence, except in white. We recently just switched her into it, she’s 28 months.
