Boys Room Reveal

For all those who have been asking for pics of the boys room all finished, here it is. It's not perfect and we don't care, because we know that they will probably destroy it in some fashion at some point. They'll either knock a hole in a wall or draw on a wall or... I'm gonna stop speculating there as there is no telling what might happen in there. Boys are weird, and ours ain't misbehavin' but they are boys. Anyway, here's a little before so that you can appreciate the effort. Here's what they had when they moved down here.

 The view from the door. Dark is about all I can think of here.

 From the door to the right. Still dark, and you gotta love that kinds pinky beige-y paint.

Here is the piece de resistance, the "wall" that divided my room from their room.












You can see the construction phase of the reno here.

Anyway, after a weekend renovation turned into TWO WEEKS, here is what we have now.

 The view from the door. Yay, there's light!

The view from the door to the right.We'd buy them real furniture for their clothes, but they'd just color on it or put stickers on it or ruin it in some other way so we stick with the cheap plastic bins that they don't acknowledge enough to try to tear up. It's the same principle about cheap sunglasses vs expensive ones, you know, you pay alot of money for them and lose them the first day, but those .99 ones from a gas station, you can drive from Nashville to Reno with them on the top of your car, pick 'em up and put them on when you get there.

This is an interesting situation. They *had* a huge console tv that took up waay too much space so we gave it away. They now have a computer (which has been living in a pile in random places in the house for like a year). They will eventually get a t.v. that, while smaller, will be on the wall and up high enough that they can't sit with their faces plastered to the screen. The wires and such will be straightened out at some point, but for now, meh.

This is just to the left of the door when you walk in. By shifting the bed down to the other end, it feels a little more open when you walk in. It'll also keep them from peeking out the door from bed when we are up and they are not. Oh, by the way this is a real wall and it is painted a nice latte color. The trim is now white instead of whatever that other color was.






Let's recap so that you don't have to keep scrolling up and down.
