      Purchase a new bed and construct the bed if need be before you ever begin painting. This will be your largest expense. I purchased a nice solid wood bunk bed for my two girls. this will open the room up for more things if you have multiple children.

      After the bed is constructed place it in the middle of the room and prep the room for painting. Use masking tape around any windows or areas to not be painted. Remove the electrical outlet plates rather then taping with a screwdriver.

      Paint the entire room and allow ample time to dry with good ventilation. The paint I purchased took only 60 minutes to dry. However be careful when removing the tape if you are in a rush.

      After several hours of dry time adhere the banner along the entire ceiling of the room. Then place the new bed in the spot you want it to go. Do not place the bed directly up against the wall for now.
