A little upgrading....

After several threatening emails (just kidding) of people wanting to see the new bedrooms, I've finally given in and posted pictures even though I'm not finished with the boys playroom and still don't have the rug in the boys bedroom...but you win- here they are! It all started a couple weeks ago when my pregnant sisterinlaw brought a book of nurseries and childrens rooms over to my house to show me the ones she has narrowed it down to. Chris and I had been talking about painting the boys room and toning down the bright orange stripes of their nursery. Nolan can just about climb out of his crib so I had been looking at getting them "Big Boy Beds" too! I got their bed (actually its at moms because I'm sanding it and painting it black instead of it having a wood finish) but we decided to leave the boys in their cribs until spring- that is unless Nolan out-smarts us! I looked at the book and fell in love with this room- and made my own version in the boys room! As soon as I get their bed finished and put together, put the rug down, and finish hanging everything on the walls, I'll post more pictures. But with school starting back and being in clinicals several days a week, my postings have been scant! I've also posted pictures of the boys playroom at the bottom- they absolutely LOVE their room and I LOVE that its childproof and has a gate so I can get some things done around the house! Enjoy and tell me what you think!
