Alex & Avery's Room Finished

I only started doing this awhile back remember? For some reason I thought I could accomplish this with 3 little boys. It wasn't going so great as Alex wanted everything blue, and I was running out of brushes and things. So the boys went and had a play day at Grammy's and Poppy's house Saturday and Mommy painted, and painted and painted. And today mommy with Daddy's help put the room together. It's still not totally finishes. I have one last touch to add but I will post that later.

This picture is of the far wall. The brown is the big curtain covering the window. The window is much smaller, but it covers better this way and holds in more heat. Notice the thumbtacs holding it up.. this is because for some reason we are always bending the rods when we look out.. So Daddy put thumbtacs in because we weren't buying another cheaply made curtain rod. To make more room the boys are going to have to eventually get a different taller dresser, but for now, and until Avery goes into a twin bed this will work nicely. Don't you think.

This is Avery's wall. Same back wall just the other side of room. This wall is still pretty bare. They will get more pictures and things up on it later. and of course Avery will eventually get a bigger bed. The train picture is a puzzle we put together for the boys a few months ago.. It glows in the dark.

Here is the closet which doesn't have the clothes in it.. This a shelf that was higher up on the wall. but we lowered it so the boys can reach their clothes again. They love picking out what they are wearing. and now they can work at hanging up their own clothes to on laundry day.. This shelf holds the Fisher Price Nativity set (still gotta find pieces) and their Diego house they got for their birthday from Grandma and Granddaddy. The closet which in the bottom has a toybox holds th Geotrax toys and my Dad is going to help me put in 2 more shelfs. This will hold the toys from the dresser. And will help them stay organized better.

Here is Alex's bed. Not much room as you see between the bed and closet area. But it works the same. There is bit more room on the other side, but not much. The little rug is something the boys got with their christmas money. Anthony has a red one. They are bath mats but they had them just the right size and just the right colors and are super soft and look so cute as bed side rugs for each of the boys. and they are small enough we will be able to use them for other things too. Like sitting on for stories. tonight each of the boys used them for their praying rugs before they went to bed. Here is a close up of Avery's bed and his little rug. His bed is higher off the ground than it looks. He has two mattresses in a wooden box thing. He's wanting it higher like a real bed. So were working on that.
