Project: One Bed for Three (Part 1)

Fitting three little kids into one small 1:6 scale bedroom where space was at a premium was really going to challenge my brain.

That is until I saw the large Badger Basket Trundle Doll Bunk Bed designed for dolls up to 20 inches, on the Badger Basket website.

Of course that bed would be far too big for my kids, hell, even a 1:6 scale bed is going to take up a whole heap of room. However, if I went a little smaller it wouldn't be so bad, and let's face it, these kids are hardly what you would call tall!

Speaking of tall, I realised this bed would need to be exactly that if I was going to fit their fat little heads under a bunk. I think I'm going to have to pull a Jodi and be a little creative with the size of this bed. 

Okay here's where I'm at ~ I've decided it will be 27cm long by 14 cm wide and 27 cm tall.


The next step was to make the head and foot template for hubby to use to cut the MDF.
