Getting rid of what is no longer useful

Just when I thought we were done with the room, another problem arose: the bed we had was quite stressful. The wooden bed I've shown here before was very pretty, but behind its beauty lurked a thousand problems. It was a bed that accumulated WAY too much dust. No matter how much I cleaned it, it was always incredibly dusty. The last time I cleaned it was less than a week ago, and today when we checked it, it looked like it hadn't been cleaned in months. On top of that, it's a bed that's assembled in parts (with screws), and every so often those screws would loosen and need to be tightened again. But recently, this was happening VERY frequently. Today, when we took it apart to fix it, we realized that a metal part was broken.

We decided it was more cons than pros and got rid of the bed haha. We had a bunk bed stored away which is metal and I feel it's much easier to clean and quite sturdy, so we put it up... Although now my concern is that my son might kill himself on the bunk bed, but I've already talked to him seriously about it.


It was quite complicated: cleaning, disassembling, reassembling, taking apart the old bed piece by piece, taking it down 14 floors in the elevator, and then going outside to throw it away. It was all quite exhausting, but I feel it's a very positive change. We'll have less accumulated dust, it will be easier to clean, and it will even be easier to make the bed since the other one was super difficult to fix.


It took us all day but it turned out quite nice. So far my son hasn't killed himself by falling from the top of the bed and I hope it stays that way.

And here's Tommy enjoying the bed (the bottom part) next to me haha while my son is upstairs playing with his toys.
