Thank you wonderful ladies for your advice. I try to be very careful with my money, so put alot of thought into everything I do. You have given me new things to think about! I hadn't even thought about bunk beds that separate, and beds with the storage underneath are so useful too!

My sister and I shared rooms until we were teenagers and there are lots of memories (though we DID go through the fighting phase and at one point threw each other's stuff out our second floor window! LOL).
