The Boy's Room

We haven't done anything to Will's room since moving in, except for hanging the bookshelves. We were waiting to find out the gender of this new baby, as that determined which room got the bunk beds.... and once we knew- well, you know us- we've had other projects going on.

Before: 

I really want Will to "play" in his room, as opposed to Amy's- which she wants too. A lot of the toys are in the living room and they just don't play with them- so I'm hoping to gradually transfer those to the boys room as well.

So on the agenda today was bunking the beds. It was actually incredibly easy, and only took 2 short calls to Mom and Dad (only because I had never seen it apart and didn't know what to do). I wanted to get the beds out of the way and create a play area... and of course eventually, there won't be a crib in there- so that will open the room even more (though it is a tiny room).

I saw the greatest idea on Pinterest... a magnet board! It's actually an oil drip pan, $10 from Walmart (in the auto parts section) and is just perfect. Will LOVES magnets and is always playing with them on the fridge. I get so tired of the magnets on the floor, so this proved to be the perfect solution. I just hung it and the basket with screws.

(yes, Amy had to have her dress up magnet Barbie on there too)

So here is the After: 

I still have to hang curtains and a few pictures on the walls. I also want to get one of those rugs with a car track pattern. But other than the 'decorative' type stuff... both kids rooms are done (for the most part!)
