What would you do?

Last week, we came across an unbelievable deal on the floor model of a loft bed/desk/dresser combo in the style I have been wanting for a very long time.  (Because of the size, the window placement, and the double closets in Megan and Lacie's room, this is the best option for beds and dresser space.)  There was just one problem with the beds (besides the fact that Steve would have to make a special trip to Vegas to pick them up and them reassemble them with no directions) --- they are navy blue.

Here's the girls' bedroom before:

My mom and I made the quilt when I was expecting Megan, and I hand painted the dresser years ago.  Despite the lack of decorating, to me the room looks light and very girlie.

Here's the room with the new beds/dresser/desk:

(Lacie's toddler mattress and some throw pillows wrapped in the quilt are serving as a temporary mattress on top of the old box spring.)

It's very functional . . . but now it screams dark and . . . well . . . not girlie.  I don't like the view from the door because it is so dark.  That is the only place the bed will fit.  What would you do?  The furniture can be painted (but I'd love to find a different solution).

(Don't misunderstand my post.  I love the beds.  I'm happy we bought them.  I'm just searching for ideas to brighten the room.  I'd trade the wrong color for 1/2 price on something like this any day!)

On a more fun note, it took about 3.2 seconds before the attached desk was turned into "The Shop."  Since yesterday, Megan's Malt Shop and Lacie's Diner have both become franchises, with new chains at "The Shop."

The top of the bed is also temporarily serving as a pirate ship.  The possibilities are endless!

Ooh--I just got my first idea to brighten the room.  Maybe until I paint the furniture some day, I can string some light-colored pennants across the back of the top bunk.  Something like this.
