We did it... two boys, two bedrooms, and 200,000 "I can't get rid of
this" treasures consolidated into one space.
The room is colorful,
boy'ish, and pleasantly cluttered.
Things are neat right now but sometimes this place is a disaster zone. As long as the room is relatively tidy at bedtime I try not to sweat the mess... this is their space.
Each boy has one drawer to hold seasonal play clothes; the third drawer contains socks, underwear, and pajamas for both.
They love having bunk beds... I love the floor space that going vertical allows.
Cubicle bookcases from
Ikea {the white one shown here and a low brown one on the far side of the bottom bunk, partially shown in photos 2 and 3} help us maintain our preference that all toys are stored in the boys' room.
In the interest of keeping it real here is the closet. There are more games and toys stored inside while shirts, jackets, and dress clothes hang. I still need to sort through the shoes and settle on a good shoe storage solution.
And here is real life... just hours after having the room neatly picture perfect this is the current status!
One project room finished... two bathrooms and a nursery to go!
