Boys' Bedroom Pictures - Rough Draft

I'm calling this a Rough Draft because the boys' room is not done. Once we get rid of the crib, the bed will move to that wall and we'll hang pictures and shelves. I already promised Caleb a shelf and book lamp for his top bunk so he can read when Ben is sleeping.

Oh, pictures. Right.

Let me take a moment to show you how far this room has come. It has seen a lot of changes since we moved in two years ago. First, it was the room of a clown who obviously died a very violent death.

Then, it was Anna's room. This color matched a color in her crib bedding. I thought it was going to be a touch of girly. It was a truckload of girly with a side of Pepto Bismol. I wish I had a picture of the room with all her furniture in it. It was actually pretty cute. This picture is before we moved in.







And, now. Caleb's desk and Ben's crib. I only had to take a sock and a book off of Caleb's desk - he's kept it relatively neat since moving rooms. Of course, his chair is usually a catch-all for clothes but today it was cleaned off. Lucky me.










This is the black-out curtained window, nightstand and bunkbed. Excuse the mess on the bottom bunk (and top for that matter, bed-making is on Caleb's chore list). It's a playground for the kids right now. Even though the two little ones aren't allowed on the top bunk, I've experience a couple of heart-dropping minutes when I've walked in the room to Ben sitting up there. The downside of having a bunkbed - worrying about your little kids falling and breaking something. Oh, and that half-naked little guy just got done with some greek yogurt. He was so messy with it, the shirt had to come off.

Some of Caleb's books. His favorite right now are the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. Although, his aunt and uncle just got him some Goosebumps books that he's loving, too. 

We really thought the dresser and all the boys' clothes would fit well into this closet. Hm. Looks like we'll need a couple of shorter dressers that can go underneath the clothes. Don't look too closely at the clothes. I realized earlier that Caleb doesn't necessarily turn shirts right side out before hanging them up. Oh, brother.

And there it is. Nothing in this room will be going on Pinterest, but it is what it is for now. :) Next up is Anna's room. We just need one more coat of paint on some of the walls, but of course we ran out. I'm itching to get to work on her room. 

Hopefully I will be posting sooner rather than later...
