sharing a room

I feel a little guilty that my little business is taking up most of our home.  We live in a ’70s ranch (gratefully with a full basement)….but mama is now taking up two rooms downstairs–one for the office, one for storage.

We decided to move the guest room upstairs and move the boys in together.  Chris and I both shared a room growing up, so we thought what could it hurt to try?  It’s not like the house is really quiet with them in two rooms.  So far, I think it was a good decision.

I already had their zinc “L” and “W”, so there isn’t a better placement for those than right over their little heads.

 

The twin beds are Craigslist finds (and can be built up as bunks, too).  The stain they used for the beds just couldn’t be worked around–white dove was the only solution.

 

The reversible stripe/ gingham bedding is from IKEA.  (With boys these things live in the washer, so not spending a ton is fine by me.)

 

 

And not only is my oldest starting kindergarten soon, but he also is following in his blind mama’s footsteps.  I sooo wish he had his papa’s eyes!  Chris doesn’t even need glasses, but he has begun wearing some so Liam will feel better.  How sweet is he?!

 

If you have kids, do they share?  Am I crazy?

Hope you have a great week…

I guess if a plant could be called designer, this would be the one.  Do you not see it everywhere?

and since I brought up plants today, please view the beautiful dining space of Anna Wintour (World of Interiors Magazine)

 

Don’t you think I need one?  I can see it tucked away near our sofa (below)

 

I have no green thumb to speak of.  I only have one Christmas cactus my girlfriend gave us as a housewarming gift.  Once in awhile a bloom will appear (only has a brief showing…Wyatt loves to pick them off)

It is the only thing besides our family and our dog that lives in our home.  Do you have the gift of keeping plants alive in your home?

Have a great day….Julie
