Hi, here are some potential ideas!... sounds like you have an exciting project! I cannot wait to see the sandstone sculptures and walkway you create. 1. straight pathway with stones [houzz=] 2. retangular pathway with stones [houzz=] 3. staggered pathway with stones [houzz=] 4. squared offline pathway with square walkway pads [houzz=] This is from and idea book I created on my page. See more in Landscape Ideas, my page.

You could also bring in some texture with bamboo sticks or decorative branches and help balance a bit the height of your room with small scale furniture. Spray paint them if you find the perfect size and shape but they aren't the color that you need. Ikea carries white decorative stalks for a very good price. the ones in the 1st picture hold well with small kids around and you don't need a vase for them. there are washi paper or crinkly paper floor lamps with a soft beautifully diffused glow For a budget friendly version check ikea or target http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80028552/

hi docpam.. since you havent mentioned the size of the room or attached a plan.. I do not know how much space you have to play around with. I mean whether you want a bunk bed for the lack of space or you want to give the boys one more for the fun that comes with it. attaching some concepts that would fit into both situations. this is a rustic looking one where your younger one could have fun getting in through the window. the light on top could help serve as a dim night light. its look being mainly rustic, you could introduce fun through personalized cushions and whimsical patterns on curtains and bed spreads. this is a more compact option with plenty storage. The colours could be used to add some fun into the room. theme based - this one highlights the height of your space too. If you have good ceiling height, this will stand out. based on a sporty theme, with a dart on the wall and a rope to hang and jump down to the ground from instead of climbing it down, you could personalize it more with soft furnishings weaved around a sports theme or add some rugs shaped like a basketball etc. if your room is long and narrow - this is a good option as well. you could replicate this into two. - so you have the same space for both your boys with the bed above and a play or study area beneath. rustic shades mixed with bright yellows and blues to add that pop of colour will definitely bring the place alive. again if youre looking for compact options - this one is another away from the conventional style - instead of having beds one above the other - these are offset to the right and left with storage taking in , into the offsets. predominantly a white and black design which you could bend to your liking and idea of fun by probably giving it colourful shutters and personalized bed spreads and cushions. all in all a fun version of their very own house compact neat and playing along a music theme. maybe you could make the steps black and white to resemble piano keys and make the railing with varying thicknesses of metal rods on which they could actually play music on - like a xylophone. another sports themed room - incase you have the place - a basket ball court can add all the fun when inside a bedroom - vinyl flooring will meet your requirement best in this case. with a larger double bed below and a study table on each side or in a L shape - so its fit for both of them - depending on the space of course - this is another theme room with elements of fun on the walls and decorative pieces used. again a bed that resembles a shack is enough to send their imagination flying! swings below can always lead to fun bonding times for the brothers. hope these help!
