Shortly after finishing the "baby room" we realized that the floor was on such an angle that putting any furniture it that room would not work out. On to the back up plan! We decided to make the "baby room" into the new play room and then move Owen in with Autumn!
I have to admit that I was a little worried at first, I thought for sure that Owens middle of the night crying would wake her up. She is and was such a good sleeper that I didn't want anything to change that. I shared a room with my little sister which worked out just fine, so I was sure they would adjust just fine! We had just recently finished painting the other room so I wanted to keep up the momentum and redo Autumn's room before rearranging all the furniture and moving Owen in. The room was originally wood paneling, I don't have a good picture of the room before we started, sadly. The photos below show the process and what it looks like today. Oh and although I helped a lot, I do need to give credit where credit is due... my husband did a large portion of the painting, he was great with all of my directions/critiques (haha) and ultimately did a wonderful job!
After finishing the room, we decided to personalize each side of the room. For Owen we decided on airplanes, Chris has a love for airplanes and we found some really nice decals! For Autumn, she chose a flower fairy garden that also looks great coming out from behind her bed! I'm still waiting on a poster that I bought for Owen's side of the room, which I think will go great with the planes. (http://society6.com/product/Adventure-kJv_Print?tag=typography) The last touch will be adding some pictures of the kids, hopefully I'll get to that soon!
I have to say that despite all the mismatched furniture the room turned out great! The most important thing is that the kids love it and love sharing a room! Enjoy the photo transformation!
