The boys room! We redid the boys room last year the weekend of December 12. My parents took the boys for the weekend and John and I (with the help of our dear best friends, Mollie and Aubrey) patched, painted, put the bunks together and dressed up the room. I was 5+ months pregnant with Eden and I stayed up for 23 hours to get the room done! Phew!
There was a lot of build-up to the boys sharing a room in our new house. We had lived here a couple months with Bennett still sleeping in the crib, but we told them when they came home, they would have bunk beds and Benny would sleep in a big boy bed! Woohoo! The room was really sad looking: lots of cracks and terrible paint. I had a vision of the room I wanted from the Land Of Nod catalog.
I started searching Craigslist for bunk beds (full-over-twin) and found an awesome set in Edina, MN. They were a barely used Room & Board set with storage drawers underneath. The price was unbeatable! So, I packed up the boys and drove to Edina to buy the beds on a random winter day. I started to purchase bedding when I found it so by the time our makeover weekend rolled around, we had everything we needed to make the room sleep-able for the boys when they got home!
These photos aren't perfect or styled, but the room was a little bit clean, so I decided it was time to take a few photos. The boys are champion room-sharers. They love sharing their room and they have a great bedtime routine together. Bennett's transition to a big bed was freakishly seamless.
