I love working on bedrooms. They come in all shapes and sizes so a cookie
cutter approach doesn’t work, especially when the space is small and/or awkward.
That sums up my spare room, which I was challenged with turning into a home
away from home for three little girls under the age of six. 
With toys, clothing and gadgets for three little ones, I had to come up with
unique sleeping arrangements and lots of storage to make the best use of the
space.
Fitting three girls into a small space certainly made bedding a challenge. My only
option was bunk beds and, with tight space restrictions, I had to take it a step
further and have custom beds created. In order to have them fit into this small,
square room, I had to get really creative! First I turned the hinges on the bedroom
door so it would open in the other direction. Then I built in a wall, creating a
pseudo hallway inside the room. That wall was able to serve as a headboard and
I mounted the bed ladder right on the wall, making use of every square inch of
space.
