Anyway...with new baby girl this summer, we had to do some rearranging of bedrooms in our home to make room. Well...I guess we didn't HAVE to, because we did play with the idea of putting the boys in a room together, but since they are both such great sleepers, we decided that putting them in a room together might just be begging for sleeping troubles. And, since we were fortunate to have bought a home with unfinished space for a 5th bedroom, we decided to finish out that area to give us room for all of the kiddos upstairs, and still have a guest room. Our old guest room is the only upstairs bedroom with direct access to the hall bathroom that the kiddos will share. I didn't want baby Kate being bothered by Tyler needing to use the restroom in the middle of the night, so I vetoed the thought of leaving everyone where they were and just transitioning it into the nursery. And, b/c I am fearful of Lucas having easy access to a bathroom in the middle of the night, we couldn't just move him into that room and leave Tyler in his current room. That being said, we had no choice but to move Tyler to the old guest room, Lucas to Tyler's room and put Katelyn in Lucas' old room. Yes - musical rooms it is! Haha!!
It was a bit of work to get it all prepped and moved, but I am so pleased with the results. I love walking by their rooms and seeing how it all worked out. I love how much more of a home a coat of paints makes a house feel. After a year and a half, I'm truly feeling at home!
So, for the room makeovers - I gave each of the boys a coat of blue paint and then a bold stripe through the middle of the room.
Tyler - of course - chose red...
and it was green for Lucas!
Katelyn's room got a fresh coat of a beautiful light green with a brink pink stripe...so cute! I LOVE it!
