Those Kalon’s are gorgeous! I just this past weekend bought the Ikea Sniglar bed for my just-turned-3-yr-old. It’s not my fave of all the options aesthetically but the price was right and it fit in our tiny space perfectly. I like how the bed is actually longer than a crib (I noticed some aren’t and thought this was pointless). I have ordered a twin size comforter for it which hopefully works. Got the fitted sheet + mattress at Ikea because it seems to be a unique bed/mattress size. Also worth noting: the guard rail looked really dinky to me initially but (so far) it is just the right height to stop a “roll-out” without being a super big eye sore. Hope that helps!

:) Yes Jillian. I’m the one that shot your lil Liam & his buddies at the egg nog stand. :) We are very local. Feel free to contact my husband if you have a design in mind that you would like to see produced. info@scotnaraki.com Otherwise, I’ll let you know once he gets our bed built. Exciting stuff.

@Jennifer Naraki Wow, that sounds pretty amazing! We’d love to know more about your husbands new plywood business, and see how your bed turns out. Are you all in LA? I might need to reach out to you for more info. ~jillian (IG @jilly100lc)

It is such a bittersweet time! Our littlest is transitioning from a convertible crib to a big boy bed. Luckily, my husband is a woodworker and is getting ready to launch a new plywood business, so he will be designing and making his bed. I love seeing all these ideas though. So helpful as we approach this design phase.
