So I’m sitting here listening to Joanna sing to herself and Matt mow the lawn, knowing I should get up and do something, but I just cannot. So I’m drooling over at www.ohdeedoh.com. I’m loving several things about this picture. Love the quilt (not necessarily that quilt, just the idea of one) on the bed. Love the name on the wall. And love love the little tent over the bed. I’m thinking I’ll need to attempt a DIY version at some point (especially since this one’s $99 at Land of Nod – another place to drool). I think the girls would just love little tent canopies over their beds! I also love the green on the walls.
Last time I looked I couldn’t find my camera cord, or I would show you what the girls’ room looks like currently. Found it. Here you go:
Partially to get ready for baby #3 and partially because I just like moving furniture around, we rearranged the girls’ room. If you were to face the crib, you’d see the green dresser to the left by the closet. I’m going to clear it out for the new baby’s clothes, blankets, bibs, burp cloths, etc., and the girls will share the tall brown dresser. We moved the changing table to the living room. I personally love my changing table, and I love how it works in the living room! I may actually need to move the toddler bed to the middle of the room when Natalie sleeps there to prevent her from playing with the window blinds (Joanna knows not to.) The cords will all be tied up, of course; I can just see her banging the blinds against the window and possible damaging something. We’ll be getting a twin bed for Miss Joanna, and it will go against the wall where the chair is now. It just looked too bare in there without something, and the girls like sitting here. We’ve measured and are pretty sure it will actually fit! I have lots of work to do with regards to wall decor. I’m going to prime and paint over my failed attempt at a mural on the far wall. :) I’m pretty sure we have wall paint left over. Although, I am pondering a new color for the room. (I’ve pretty much hated this one since it went up.) I would love a new color, just not the work involved. We’ll see. I think once we have a name for #3, I want to either paint or hang names for all the kiddos above or near their beds.
Sounds...cozy! Josh and Sam will be moving in together, too...soonish, actually, we'll be moving the crib into that room for awhile to get them used to sleeping in the same room together, then when he's old enough, we'll put a toddler bed instead of the crib, and move the crib back to the nursery for Tiger. HOPING we'll need new bedding for it! (i.e. that Tiger's a girl!).
ReplyDeleteAlso, I would buy wooden letters and paint them...not as cheap, but MUCH easier to move around! You should paint your walls a slighly darker green than the furniture, or maybe a pale yellow (kinda buttery, not bright, I think it would complement the greens and purples you have now!).
OK, that's my two cents...better go get dinner started. Have fun and share your decisions!
