Parents in the market for a big kid bed are in luck these days as there seems to be lots and lots to choose from. I tend to either like a fully kitted-out kids bed like this one or a kid bed that has grown up styling like this Liam Wooden bed.
The large grey headboard immediately caught my eye. The horizontal wooden slats and the built-in galvanized gooseneck lamp are great details. Check out the lightswitch on the side too. You'll be glad to know that the Liam bed comes in all different sizes and finishes for the headboard. This is a steep not cheap bed guys so be forewarned. You can purchase it over at PoshTots for $1,925. If that's more than you want to spend, consider a DIY version.
There is one more thing in this room that made me look. Do you see it? It's the awesome storage next to the bed. The bookcase has cubbie shelves much like the Expedit plus it has pre-cut holes that hold galvanized buckets for portable storage. Fantastic idea! The Teddy Organizer also is availalbe for purchase over at PoshTots for $806.

i love this! i could totally see my daughter flipping the light on and off and on and off and on and off and on and...STOP! LOL!
Very cool bed! I also really like that storage unit, especially as I find that with Expedit etc., there's always a lot of unused space at the top of the shelves - great idea for overcoming this!
This would be such a crazy-easy DIY. And if you found the light fixture second hand, would probably only cost around $50. Brilliant.
Thank you, Ohdeedoh, for posting my work! And thank you to y'all for posting. All my pieces are made of solid maple an hand-tooled by Amish craftsmen in Ohio. This bed is my best seller. I just returned from High Point, the largest furniture show in the world, and Furniture Today placed both this bed and a bed from my platform series, on their Best at High Point Market list. Quite an honor, considering my first sale came in November '10. You're all welcome to follow me on facebook - I'm sitting on a light blue desk in my collection. Peace...Nancy Gent/Nancy Gent Designs
