I have been meaning to decorate my room since we moved in, I guess I will do it now that we are staying for awhile longer. I already have all the stuff to do it with.
My dresser is a mess right now. I only made my bed for the pictures. :P
The best part of all, that was where the crib USED to be! I still have her "cage" in my room. I need to put it in her closet.
The hallway out of our room. To the left just down the hall is our bathroom, it's nice to have our own. We never had our own before.
Judy also reorganized the bookcases, my kids don't read much, do they? :P
K and I had gone to a store in Cambridge MA to get these things, they were unfinished and cost me a pretty penny. Finally after years of begging, he got them finished. Or maybe his mom did it, I can't remember now. :P
Aidan's bed, messy I know, I guess I can't expect them to make their beds when I don't make mine. :P
Lilly's messy bed. She's lucky, I don't know many 9yr olds with full size beds. We only did it because the mattress was ours and we wanted a queen size but didn't want to "waste" a very expensive mattress on a yard sale or Craig's list. So it went to her.
When we moved in this house 2 and 1/2 years ago, this was Sophia's room. It's the biggest and right next to ours. We had planned on putting any "new" children in with her and giving the older girls their own rooms. Yeah, that didn't work out. Then the room was Aidan and Sophia's for a few months. That didn't work either, Sophia kept waking Aidan up in the morning and they go to bed at the same time. So we moved Lilly in with Aidan and it works out well. Aidan goes to bed an hour before Lilly, she is usually asleep before Lilly goes to bed. And Aidan tends to sleep in or just leave the room instead of waking Lilly on the weekends.
We put Lilly's dollhouse at the foot of her bed and let them pick out about 10 barbies total out of the 30-40 they had. Aidan picked out about 10 ponies out of the 30-40 she had. We let them keep all the furniture for the house and all the clothing for the barbies, babies, and ponies. We had four doll carriages but sold two of them in the yard sale. Looking out of the room you can see Delilah's bedroom door, that landing was covered in books and toys every night before we cleaned the rooms up to where they can play on the floor again.
This room was never decorated, so I have a blank slate to work with. I have plenty to decorate with, I have been collecting things for years. Hopefully I will be up to doing it soon.
