I really enjoyed putting the second room together. I tried to keep to neutral tones, even though this room clearly would be ideal for a young boy. The bamboo ladder was picked up for $20, the bed $55 from Tender Disposals, and the bird cage (not visible at this angle) was around $50 on ebay. Just proof that careful selection can overcome a tight budget. The bear was my sons first gift from his Grandma & Grandpa. Gorgeous!
