This Dad Made the Coolest Built-In Bunk Beds For His Daughters
If you want to save space, buying bunk beds for your kids is a smart bet. But if you want to save a lot of space, do as this father did and build them yourself. We're beyond impressed with the craftsmanship of one handy dad, who constructed a gorgeous bunk bed, complete with a staircase, crown molding, and built-in bookshelves, for his two young daughters. Even more impressive, the construction project cost just $800 in supplies and only took up roughly 20 inches — less than two feet — of floor space because he fit it into the wall of the spare bedroom.

These new appliances will revolutionise the way you do laundry (5 photos)
These new home gadgets can wash separate loads simultaneously and refresh clothes by effectively removing odours and creases – a godsend for many busy households. We’re talking about LG Electronics’ new range of appliances, the LG TwinWash and Styler. For days when you need to wash a big load of laundry as well as a smaller load of delicates, the TwinWash, retailing at S$3,299, allows you to set a washing cycle for the bulk of your clothes at the top and a separate setting for your smaller load at the bottom. If you think that will save you a whole lot of time on laundry, the futuristic washing machine also uses technology that cuts down your average washing duration by up to 30 minutes. Called the TurboWash technology, the system uses a nozzle that sprays detergent evenly onto fabrics, and a separate high pressure nozzle that sprays water onto your clothes. The Styler is a gadget that allows you to refresh your clothes by removing odours and creases. The Styler, retailing at S$2,999, removes odours and creases by spraying soft steam onto your clothes, which are hung onto a hanger that slides from right to left for 220 times per minute. You can also use it to sanitise not just your clothes, but toys and blankets as well. We can’t help but admire how sleek and modern the designs are. The appliances also come in modern steel and white.
