I have often joked that this house is like one big room of requirement, and this sentiment came true again over the weekend as we finally reshuffled bedrooms to give the boys their own. And! We did this for almost zero dollars.
We spent
$80 on paint
$60 on lamps and an end table
$75 on extra bedding
$80 on 2 twin beds from FB marketplace
(But then I sold a bunch of old clothes to Plato's Closet for $50 and we made $20 on Harry's old bunk bed).
Coop's room, boob light and all: (yes there are 2 TVs because what if you are doing a flight simulation over the ocean and need to also watch a show?) (I have already taken a Zoom call in there and can confirm it is perfect and very quiet).
Jack's room (the first time in his entire life that he has had his own room!!) (yes there is vinyl on the floor-- this was our playroom when we built the house) (yes there is tape on the floor-- Jack and Harry made a squash court a few years ago).
I love it, and I'm impressed that both rooms got two twin beds even! Since Jack will be going to college next year, it seems like maybe the college guys could room up on holidays and summers?
ReplyDeleteHa, I like seeing the different styles of "decor" the boys have! I like the suggestion above that the college kids should room together over the summer- they'll be used to sharing a room anyway, right? As you said- the correct solution will magically appear when you need it.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Jack's room is the colour of the top half of our nursery (dark blue and aqua because we didn't find out what we were having - "that's so unnatural!" my friend huffed).
ReplyDeleteYour bedrooms look huge in these photos, which is so essential with a big family. We've not moved the kids into different rooms for years. My college and beyond boys aren't happy to come home to sleep in twin beds, but I have three twins in their room and no space for anything else. You guys accomplish a lot in one weekend. Impressive.
