So Finn and this baby boy are going to be sharing a room because that's what trendy kids do, right? We have a downstairs bedroom, but until Finn is old enough to use it to his advantage for sneaking-out-purposes, it shall remain not-a-bedroom.
Confession: I've never shared a room in my life (besides with that tall guy I live with...).
Confession: Luke has never not shared a room in his life.
So, while I am confused about how two people (especially siblings) can share a room in peace and harmony, he is there to reassure me that no one is going to implode as a result.
None of my children implode...check that off my parenting bucket list.
So to prepare for this confusing and exciting development, I painted the room (by myself. Because yes.), decorated, re-decorated, deemed it my pièce de résistance and wam, bam, thank you m'am, here it is.
(Here's a before picture, first so you can all get a handle on the transformation):
That's cool and everything, I guess...
But this is way better! I made that blanket. And it didn't make me cry. Also, astronomy poster on the wall? Because 3 is a perfectly acceptable age to learn the lunar cycle. Duh.
The baby's side of the room!
Top of the dresser!
Details I love: the striped crib sheets that took me forever to
find, and the baby quilt that I should probably take more pictures of. I painted the room navy on a whim but I'm super stoked with how it turned out. Combine with the more sophisticated elements of the room (the bedding, poster, etc) and I don't think it looks too little boyish. Because let's all remember that this cool kid had the room first:
As always...pictures of Isla's room :)
