In January we changed Carolin'e room into a BIG girl room! We wanted to give it enough space from James Wright's homecoming so that she didn't feel booted out of the crib (even though that's basically what happened) We
I was torn on weather or not I wanted the girls to share a room. I
shared with my big sister growing up and loved it! She may have
different memories of sharing a room with her four year younger little
sister ;), but I thought it was awesome!
Also, since I have gotten used
to having a play room, I thought that it might be nice to keep a place
for all the "stuff" and make the baby's room Caroline's old room. After
going back and forth a lot, we decided that everyone would sleep better
if they had their own space and putting the girls down one hall and the
baby across the house might keep the noise away from him. This
required some interesting placements of some of the bigger toys and
getting rid of tons of stuff. You can't really fit anything else into
the girls closets because of toys and craft supplies, but I think we
made it work pretty good.
Here is a view of the room from the door. I got this beautiful set of antique twin beds on Craigslist then painted them with Chalk Paint. Because of where the closet and door is in her room, only one would fit without filling the entire room. I have the other in storage for when the girls get a little bigger or we have a different house because I just love two twin beds :)
The storage cube from the playroom went on the front wall. It houses lots of books, puzzles, tea sets, etc...
My sweet baby!!
The "art" table. Lila comes in and uses it more than Caroline, but this is where it would fit :)
The Pianist's corner
I saw this pretty chandelier on Pinterest and made it for Miss C.
Caroline has done great sleeping in the big bed! She loves telling everyone about her Big Girl Room! I was relieved to get it done, so that I could start working on the nursery!! Pictures coming soon :)
