In Part 1 of this post, we removed most of the queen, , and cut the bottoms and the tops of the beds to fit the space we needed. Part 2 involved Sam working with his dad to build the bed frames, trimmed them with beautiful dark wenge, cut and hinged the top pieces for each bed, and…
When we decided to remodel the Airstream bedroom by removing the queen bed and putting in custom beds for the kids, I knew finding a comforter or blanket the right size would be difficult if not impossible. Sheets we could probably manage (and we did), but I wanted something special for the kids to help…

Within a day or so of returning home, we started our largest Airstream Project Ever. We are pulling out the queen bed, and replacing it with two twin beds and a toddler bed, leaving the walking space down the middle. We got the party started by removing the queen bed. The bed itself is screwed…
