I'm taking a little detour from the Nursery project, basically because my next step is to finish the bumper bad and it's become a royal pain in the you know what. And, procrastination is indeed my middle name. Okay, not really, but you know.
So.. here is a tour of the bedroom shared by my 4 and 5 year old sons.
When we bought the house, it looked like this.
Lavender and Rose border isn't really our style, and it certainly wasn't fit for two boys.
Below is how it looks now... We replaced the worn out light fixture with a new ceiling fan. Notice the twine pull, so that they can reach the light! haha!
They have some-what of a feminine rug, because I confiscated their old rug for the Nursery. Below is an older photo (older by a few days! ha!) that shows their older, more boyish rug.
My Step-mom and I found that rug at a Pottery Barn outlet over 4 years ago, when I was busy decorating my 4 year old's then nursery. Oh the memories. :)
Anyhoo,
This room is a mishmash of things we already had, with exception of the beds, the duvets, and their dresser.
The beds were an inexpensive bunkbed purchase from Walmart.com. The total cost was around $190, and for TWO beds (two extremely stable, solid wood beds), you can't really beat that. They easily hold adults and we've actually used them for visitors before.
The duvets are from IKEA, as is their dresser (from the as-is section. Cha-ching for almost $100 off sticker).
All of the firetruck decorations were originally used in one of the bedrooms at our old house. I finally brought them all out of storage a week or so ago.
When I bought the following picture, I originally saw it in an online store, beautifully framed and I fell in love with it. I HAD to have it for our firetruck nursery, at the time. However, at $200+ it was out of my price range. I searched ebay, and found someone selling the poster for around $15. Then I just bought a frame to fit. The old frame actually broke in the move, so this is the second one, but it was still SUCH a bargain.
Every little boy has to have a night-night flashlight, right? :)
Thanks for looking and for any comments!
