Blue Room Blues

Almost since I painted it blue 6 years ago, I have hated the color of Parker's room. I am just not a blue kind of person. Like it, but I don't really want to look at it everyday. The biggest problem is how very, very dark it is. We don't get a whole lot of light in our house anyway and this just compounds the problem. We are finally going to paint it. Parker wanted to paint it camo but I talked him into just one of the lighter shades in the camo palet. We will also be swapping out some of the artwork to something more befitting an almost 8 year old who acts more like an almost 13 year old--unless he's acting like an almost 3 year old. Hopefully by the end of the week, he will have a new, bright room!

By the way, if you have a couple of kids, what are their sleeping arrangements? Parker and Jack each have their own rooms, but Jack sleeps in the top bunk in Parker's room. Another friend's boys have their own rooms, but they both sleep together in the little one's queen size bed. (So sweet, I think!) I don't care where they sleep, just so they sleep!









This is a shoe bag filled with those weird little trinkets that my boys always want to keep but they have no place or purpose. There are rocks, shells, press passes, baseball gloves, caution tape---only in a boys room!

I love the paperkins :D

My girls wanted to share a room so Lyd's room is the upstairs playroom.

Soon they are getting bunks, but for now Linds has a twin bed and Lyd has a toddler crib bed.

Well, Will sleeps in his bassinet in my room, and Tommy sleeps between Kurt & I in my room, so maybe we should make their room the office again!
