Uhh, as much as I'm probably getting myself into trouble with this, I do sew... sorta.. and I need practice making curtains, and I'm pretty handy with a sewing machine.
As far as decorating the bed, I haven't read the entire thread but how about great big primary colours with letters and numbers and stuff stenciled all over it? like each piece of wood be a different BRIGHT primary colour. Red, blue, yellow, you get the idea. Down bottom, attach a board along the entire back of the lower part, and get some of that paint that turns walls into a chalkboard, and have that be a little play area with a chalkboard and chalk and stuff. Boys like BRIGHT primary colours, and so do toddlers... so have fun.
Here's an idea. Go get some water based paint and get them involved! Handprints, and next to that stencil in the date and whose hand it was! Everybody can get involved! Mama's hand, Daddy's hand, Maggie's hand, Jaimie's hand!
