In this new contemporary home, the use of wood gives the feel of an old farmhouse. In a relatively small space, these bunk beds are tucked in nicely to leave plenty of room for hanging out. The bunks are made out of local spruce with black metal steel. Drawers underneath are a perfect alternative to a dresser and are a real space saver. The windows are Pella Contemporary, and the floors are concrete.

Available in 2- to 12-in. widths, this is a good general-purpose flashing tape that sticks well to most things. It features a two-piece release paper, water-shedding layers, and good UV resistance.
