Yes, it could be charming or at least, not questionable. But so much is wrong, from the little green rug in the middle of the room to the curtains, the lack of wall color, on and on.....so much wasted potential. A room that could handle a papered ceiling.

Oh the decor is 1960 low budget- non existent. I was focusing on the beds that pull out of the attic space under the eaves with pillow and blanket storage right above. Kids play area by day, teens loungy sofa like thing by evening, pull it all the way out to sleep at night.

I am guessing it would be easier/cheaper to have a trundle under a daybed and storage drawers or cabinets in the kneewall?

OK! At first I didn't know what I was looking at and I thought somehow the beds on the left in the first picture were the same beds as on the right in the second picture. Now I get that both rooms have the beds stashed under the eaves.

To me eave storage always seems to carry the potential of bugs, especially earwigs and spiders, so I would want those beds sliding into some sort of hyperbaric chamber or clean room set up to make it not creepy. But I guess they probably slide all the way out to facilitate cleaning in behind them.

I am assuming that they slide into a completely enclosed cabinet, not into an open space

I like the idea. It's a good way to deal with a passel of kids in a small space.

I think it's a great idea!

We just spent a week in a beach house, and the house was pretty big and slept a lot of people (especially if you added the pull out sofas, some of which did not work).

But the rooms for kids were so crammed with beds that the rooms could not be used for anything but sleeping and I think sometimes kids need to be able to play separately and not every activity should take place in the one main room.

I think there would be some way to design a vacation house with flexibility in sleeping arrangements like this. Out of the way when you don't need it, there when you do, and fairly comfortable since it's an actual mattress.

I have a daybed with a trundle but my goddaughters now want their own rooms so one has claimed the daybed and the other a sofa in the family room. Remember when sleeping on the couch was actually fun? Those days are long past for me. They both enjoy fluffing and arranging "their" rooms although neither is actually a bedroom.

I thought the same as robo initially, that it was the same room, different view. Then I realized it was 2 bedrooms with the same idea of the bed storage under the eaves. Pretty cool use of space for a kids-to-teens room I think.

Delilah, I wonder if this was an upgrade or built by the owners custom. I am not too familiar with the Levittown designs, all I know is that the Country Clubber was nearly double the size of their earlier plans and had more available upgrades and appointments than the smaller ones.

The second one seems more usable as one of the beds in the first picture would take away most of the walking space at that end of the room. I agree that it's a great way to create beds for a number of people in a small space.

I've often wondered how the families with six and eight children set up the bedrooms in three bedroom houses.

I am thinking the conventional bed was added when whoever slept in the room was more adult or when it became a guest room, and the other beds were just left intact and maybe only used when there were a lot of kids or something.

The entire house is pretty much intact. It's not a time capsule furniture and decor wise so much but the original layout, bathrooms, including a burgundy and pink combo, and a peach and grey combo, and the laundry in the kitchen are all intact.

I think it's a great way to utilize knee walls. I wish I had thought of that when we built our vacation place. The 2 bedrooms on the second floor have cathedral ceilings and a knee wall that runs across the entire back of both rooms. That would have been the perfect place to store extra beds for those times when we have an abundance of guests.

Great idea! I just recently discovered inexpensive trundles on Amazon that slide under bunk beds. I got one for our oldest three girls' bedroom and it has been a godsend. For the first time ever they have room to do other things besides sleep in their room. It was such an inexpensive workable fix. We all feel like we gained a whole extra room in the house. For $60 plus shipping. Can't beat that Reno price!

My guess is that the under eaves beds were custom made by/for the homeowner. Pretty cool solution.

The first picture is charming! The second picture is OK. I have been privy to quite a few of these homes built between 1946 and 1960 and this is a pretty good execution, to be honest.
