Rosandra lives in Rome and when it came time to hand down her older son's IKEA Kura bed to her 2-year-old, Tommaso, she decided to create something really special for him. Since he has a "passion for cars" a firetruck bed was just the thing.
Rosandra describes the bed makeover:
I added some plywood to create the door and the window. I put on the wheels of an old toy car and have painted in red, grey and white the different part of the "truck". I have equipped the bed with a little fire extinguisher, flashlights on the top, a garden hose and some stickers. Under the bed there is a lot of space for him to "drive" and to store his toys. On the wall I painted a skyline with bright acrylic colors and in the sky I made the "sun" shine!!
Thanks Rosandra!

Genius! My jr firefighter would love it!
This is amazing! What a wonderful labor of love for your son.
I looked at some other images of the kura and saw it was used as a bunk bed. However, that's not an option on ikea's website. None of the blogs I clicked on explained how they got a bunk bed setup, just whatever repainting/styling project they did. Does anyone know how to get this as bunks?
Wow, will make something similar, if you don't mind. This is the best IKEA Kura hack I've ever seen! Good job!
This is the best IKEA hack I've ever seen by far. I'm soooo impressed!
