A Thomas The Tank Engine Bedroom

On March break I plan on redoing my sons bedroom. If you are a regular reader of this blog you know by now that my son is a huge Thomas The Tank Engine fan. I want to get him a Thomas The Tank Engine bed like this one, but the only problem is that they only come in toddler size and he's too big for one of those now. I can't seem to find one in a single/twin bed size. I'm having a hard time finding Thomas The Tank Engine wallpaper as well. I can find Thomas The Tank Engine boarder and wall stickers, but not wallpaper. I still have a couple of discount furniture stores I can check. Wish me luck on finding what I'm looking for!

Ohhh I LOVE it!!! My four year old would FLIP if he saw that bed (he ADORES Thomas). He's in a twin bed already, so going back to a toddler bed isn't something we'd do, but if you ever find a twin sized version, please do write a post about it with more info. Good luck in your search!!

We just bought the bedding of their favorite show or character and it seems to do just fine. Good luck on your search!

This is a very cute bed. If you can't find one make one. Make a Thomas the Train head board from plywood and paint it. I bet is would be really cute.

Do you have an unfinished furniture outlet near you? You could buy a plain wooden frame and paint it up yourself. Just a thought...

I guess I'd try Ebay or Craig's List.

I have to go bed shopping soon for my son. But since he is now 16 I dont think he would want a Thomas the Tank Engine bed :(

Tamy, I thought of you today :) I had to get the oil changed in my car and the place that did it had a playroom for kids!!! Well, in the playroom the walls are painted with fun kid stuff and one wall had Thomas the Tank Engine on it!

I found your blog doing a search for thomas themed beds. (Ha!) I am building a loft bed for my son, and putting panels around it to make it look like thomas, it is a standard twin and will have a train table and play area underneath. In total, the cost will be around $300 bedding included. I got the plans for the bed at http://OPloftbeds.com if you're interested. Best of luck to you!

Good luck! That is an awesome toddler bed; unfortunately they're just not as popular in the twin bed size hence why they don't make them. I would say the best bet would be to just buy the bedding set of Thomas the Tank. I don't know how useful this will be to you but there's lots of thomas products available at Characterland http://www.characterland.co.uk/character/Thomas/index.html

I think that this is a great idea for kids who are in love with Thomas! I loved watching that show growing up myself. I hope that they continue! then you can but a waterbed to put in there and they will be sleeping like babies!
