Materials: Kura Bed
Description: My second son has a passion for cars, so the idea of recycling the bed of his older brother and turn it into a firetruck. I have added some plywood to create the door and the window, I set 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. On the wall I painted a skyline with bright acrylic colors and in the sky I made the "Ikea sun" shine!!

ReplyDeleteJust beautiful ! Should be part of 2012 Hack Award

ReplyDeleteFabulous, my two years old boy would love such a bedroom.
ReplyDeleteWell done
Fantastic job!
ReplyDeletewow! thats awesome...my daughter would love it! shes almost 3 and she loves cars and anything that "goes" i love KURA hacks! gives me great ideas for when we get her, her own KURA bed next year :)
ReplyDeleteΤΕΛΕΙΟ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow!! you have taken great pain in doing up your son's room. So far this is the best hack I have seen. Well done.
ReplyDeleteHow creative! I actually LOVE this! The paintings on the wall finish it off beautifully! What a lucky boy- well done
ReplyDeleteThat is brilliant and beautifully done. I love it!
ReplyDeleteto me, what finishes off perfectly is the sun!!!
ReplyDeleteio credo che la cosa che completa a perfezione questa cameretta sia la lampada a forma di sole!!! molto carino, peccato che non durerà molti anni, visto che il ragazzo crescerà velocemente...
l'hai visto fare su paint your life su real time?? perchè è stata fatta una cosa molto simile! comunque complimenti!
ReplyDeleteSi l'idea l'ho avuta da Paint Your Life anche se quello era un letto a castello ed ho messo degli accessori veri invece di adesivi. Grazie dei complimenti
DeleteGreat Work, we love this idea.
ReplyDeletethis is amazing!!!!! great job. I love this kura
ReplyDeletebello! però, in quanto ad originalità, ci vedo lo zampino di Barbara di Real Time...
ReplyDeleteWhat an extraordinary idea!!! I absolutely love it!!! And I,m gonna copy it for my son when he's older. I still wonder how did you decorate the wall behind? Was it your own painting or stickers? All together it makes an awsome space for little fireman =)
ReplyDeleteYes, the wall is my own painting. First I designed the skyscrapers with a pencil using IKEA Lack shelves to get their silhouettes. Then I painted them with acrylic colors and finally I retraced the outlines with a permanent black marker
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing!! What a great job!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing room! Well done. Could I ask what type of paint you used to paint the bed frame and panels. I have noticed that the frame is pre treated with clear acrylic lacquer when you buy the bed. Thanks
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing! Is it bad that I'm a 28 year old woman who would totally love to go play in this thing? Definitely keeping it in mind for when I have kids.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of paint did you use for the frame and panels? Our 4 yr old saw this and wanted me to try it with the kura we got this weekend. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI used glossy spray paint that also contained primer
DeleteCan I ask, did you sand the wood or use liquid sandpaper? I want to attempt a similar hack, but and afraid to just start spraying on top of the laquer that is already there. I am a newbie! :)
DeleteIs better to sand the wood
