Every few years it seems we have to do a great bedroom changeover! We’ve been at it again this month and it has taken all month.
First our 19 year, as he jokingly put it, was being kicked out to the tool shed. He isn’t ready to move out and we didn’t want him to, so this is a perfect solution. It’s a bit of his own space but still with family and good food nearby.
He really made it his own space and we just love it. Not too bad for a tool shed, I’d say!
In the house we had five kids in one bedroom and while it is a large room, the girls and boys needed to be separated. There was way too much of mom waking up to fighting and screaming. So Elliot’s old room got a makeover and the girls have a pretty sweet little spot now.
I repainted and Andrew put trim up that’s been missing since the tornado four years ago. Then I repainted all the trim. Dottie and Eloise got to paint a letter and butterfly to hang on their walls and I just love their own sweet touch to the room. I still have to choose some things to hang on the other wall but at least they have their own room now!
Last but not least the boys’ room needed an update. It hadn’t been painted in years, the trim had never been painted since we moved in and there was still no trim around the window. Their room was a bit more challenging because they were in it so their beds were pushed to the center while I painted.
It’s still missing a piece of trim and we need to hang some things on the wall but again, at least they have a nice, organized place to sleep and play.
My goal was to finish by the end of February and I just eked it out! Guess I still have to go to Hobby Lobby for some cute wall decor…aw shucks!
I’m thankful for the blessing this house is to our family. I try to never take it for granted that we have this desired haven.
