The Boys Room

Since you've already seen the new house....or at least Noah's version, I suppose it is time to start posting some pictures. We'll start with the kids' room. The boys decided they wanted to share a room in the new house leading to some new bunk beds! We were going to have to buy a new bed for Caleb anyhow, as he was quickly outgrowing his toddler bed. Their room is super small so we, meaning I, had to shop around a bit. I knew we could only do twin bunk beds but I was hoping to score a trundle bed, for extra sleep space when visitors are in town, or friends are spending the night. I finally found exactly what I needed at hayneedle.com. Their room started with ASU (or Winnetonka, according to Uncle Dave) maroon and gold walls. We covered most of the gold with light blue, left one wall and the trim maroon, and the back of the door gold. It turned out pretty cute, I think. Noah is still looking for a Star Wars picture to complete his "area," but all in all, we have one room done!

Here is what it looked like before.....

And after....

Noah's shelves...

Caleb's shelves....

Last night we had our first "sleepover" to try out the trundle bed....Dad and Molly and I slept in the boys room. Caleb and Noah slept on the top bunk, Mom on the bottom (until everyone fell asleep, then I headed to my bed :)), and Dad and Molly on the trundle bed.

I love that my boys share a room. I can remember so many nights of chats and giggles with my sister, growing up sharing a room...always so fun.

I love that they have fake hardwood floors. So easy to keep clean and great for puzzles, trains, and cars.

I love their closet. Tons of shelf space that has now replaced both of their dressers. If only I can keep Caleb from climbing the shelves like a ladder. Plus the mirrored doors are fun for kids. My boys lay in bed and make faces at each other in the mirror.

Yay for one room being done!
