IKEA: Minnen Bed

 

I love this bed from IKEA its so classic and quirky at the same time! Plus its practical, being extendable you can alter the size of the bed as your child grows - don't ask me how? And if you still aren't convinced, this child's room featuring the bed found on the amazing blog "My Scandinavian Home" surely gives it its justice!

Such a steal, priced at only $229 from IKEA.
