Brand New Bedroom

This last weekend we took on the project of painting the boys room and moving Greyson in with Ian so that he could have his own big boy bed. The room to start was all white walls and Ian was on a full sized bed. We found a bunk bed set at a yard sale for $20 and splurged a bit to buy them matching bed sets. We painted one wall a dark blue (David likes it because it is the color of the Dallas Cowboys) and the other three walls we painted a beige color. We are really happy with the way it turned out and the boys love it. Greyson adjusted well to sleeping in his bed but now instead of having it completely dark in his room like in the nursery and sleeping till 9:00 he is up way too early and wont go back to sleep. This is the before picture.

Ian and Greyson both tried their hand at painting but the rolled was a little heavy for Greyson that he didn't like it.

Here is the finished project. This is Ian's bed that I told him he has to make every day once he gets up and going. So far it hasn't been too bad with a little help from mom.

This is Greyson's bed that he was soo excited to sleep in. It is a good thing that this one had rails because he is a CRAZY sleeper and he would probably have ended up on the floor every night if it didn't have them. Now we just have to work on sleeping in a little longer for my sake.

The bedroom looks GREAT! I'm glad Greyson is excited for his new room and bed. Hope he sleeps in a bit better for you. I am still trying to talk Reuben into letting me buy a new bed set for Isaac's room so I can get rid of the flames and cars he now has.
