Since we have lived in this house, almost 4 years now, this kids' room has already
had three different looks.
Each new grandchild required some new accommodations!
There are now 4 children, with more soon to come.
So, now we can sleep at least 4.
(More when you consider how little they are, so 2 can easily share 1 bed!)
Top bunk.
Bottom bunk.
Temporary mattress on the floor, waiting for the new bed.
(There's also a trundle under the bunks that can be pulled out when needed.)
On the opposite wall is a large world map. I bought it from Amazon and I guess I didn't realize there wasn't much color to it, so I made a colorful banner across the top.
Under the map, I set up an art station.
I spray-painted some tin cans to hold pencils and other items,
bringing in more color.
(Red was specifically requested!)
In this corner, I combined a small chest and bookshelf, painted them both red.
On top is a ship that belonged to Grandpa when he was a boy.
It's hard to tell it isn't just one piece of furniture.
I added some other details: Grandpa's Boy Scout lantern;
a globe and favorite books inside old Carnation crates;
row boat shelf and oar
small red chair and hand painted star pillows.
Little red lantern and western vest that belonged to their great grandfather
hanging from one of our quick little projects:
just a piece of wood with some cute knobs screwed into it;
We put this room together in 2 days, using whatever we had,
and I can't wait for the next visit!
I think the kids are going to love it!

What a fun fun room! Those boys are so lucky to have you as their mom, and such a fantastic room to play and sleep in!!
