the boys’ room
Have you noticed that new category up there called ‘our house’? Don’t click on it, because there is nothing there. But I’m working on it. And by working on it, I mean cleaning one room of the house at a time, while the kids destroy every other room of the house, photographing and then posting. It may take some time but it is great motivation to both finish rooms and clean them.
So here we go with the boys’ room.
Here it is in its raw before state:
And now:
Yes, they all three share a room.
Yes, it takes them a long time to fall asleep. But their little chattering at night is one of the sweetest sounds {not so much the getting out of bed and asking for one more drink of water}. We like that they have a chance to be buddies and we figure there really is never a time in life when they will have their own room {college roommates, apartment-sharing, marriage} so why set them up now? And, they are only 6, 4 & 2 so ask me in a few years if this theory still works and I’ll let you know.
Two sets of bunkbeds {from costco} fit just perfectly end to end in the room. If I had it my way the bed would not cut into the window, but what can you do.
Those red boxes are from IKEA and hold all the dress-up stuff and hotwheels.
Essential to any little boy’s bedroom is the door bumper. I’ve blogged about it before, but it is seriously a life {and finger} saver. No more slamming doors.
My mom generously gave me her own dresser to use in Audrey’s room and it didn’t fit. So we moved it into the boys’ room and it is perfection. Thanks mom.
And above it, the darlings’ initials.
Custom name prints from my new collection taped onto burlap inside a big IKEA frame.
Such an easy way to personalize their room.
And #1 really wanted me to take a close-up of his lego robot shooting fire at the alien.
And that is the boys’ room.
