Big Kid's Room!

This new house has four bedrooms on the main level, when looking I HAD to have three bedrooms, but since this house has an addition of a master suite we got really lucky with four rooms.  Before we moved in I told the kids they could decide if they wanted to share or have their own rooms.  Lenorah informed me she wanted all THREE of them to share a room.  We compromised on Beatrix getting her own room since she still cries at night and Dietrich and Lenorah will still share for now.  Since our room is an added master the kids get the original master bedroom, so it is nice and BIG and fits all their stuff so nicely.  I have been desperate to get their room done so that we can get these toys under control and since they were gone all weekend with the cousins I was able to finish it and surprise them when they got home!  We will start with the obligatory BEFORE pictures:

 And the AFTER pictures!  We switched out the chandelier with the fan from Beatrix's room and I took the bedding in to Sherwin-Williams with me and let the designer there pick the colors.  We went with a neutral light gray and then a fun accent wall.  The shelving was in the guest room and we just moved it in to here.  I was really excited to find the kids matching bedding a few months ago, it's hard to find stuff that works for a boy and a girl. Lenorah's new to her dresser came from a flea market, it will eventually get a new paint job.

 It's hard to get a picture of this wall with the bright window but I love this bright green wall and their names over the bulletin boards, it will be perfect for all the school projects that come home!  I made Lenorah the bow holder out of a mirror frame about a year ago. 

 The closet is still full of stuff but organized now!  The white shelving came out of the church and we added some closet dowels on each side to add more room to hang clothes.  We found the closet doors in the top of the shop, so at least we don't need to get new doors here for a while!

Now that the toys are organized and have "homes" the house feels much more orderly, and I think the kids are starting to really feel at home since they have been reunited with all their things. They already enjoy playing in their room so much more than before since it is close to everything and there is plenty of room for activities ;)
