a room for boys

last weekend we moved sawyer into the big boys' room in preparation for a girly nursery.
this rental is bigger than our last house but it only has 3 bedrooms.
so we have to be creative with our stuff  and our sleeping arrangements.

we are keeping sawyer in a crib because. . .
well why the heck not?
he stays put until he's retrieved.
i am in no hurry to put him in a big boy bed.
i did that with avery and paid dearly for it.
lesson learned.
fin stayed in his crib until he was over three and it was perfect.

so here is the boys' room now:

we have two different wood finishes which would normally bother me, but this isn't a forever set up, so i'm happy with it for now.
it works. :)
it's a cozy and happy place for our three boys.

it has gone amazingly well having them all 3 together.
sawyer loves it.

they have a lot of books....this is less than half of them.
we like books around here. :)

i like their room picked up, but i'm not super particular about it looking "perfect."
they are boys and they have lots of random doo-dads that they like to display.
i am fine with that.
it's their room.

i covered an old bulletin board with some denim turned wrong side out.
a bunting made from my grandma's old scarves adds a little cheer. :)

i love these vintage pennants.
aj's uncle bruce, collected them on his travels and we inherited them a few years ago.

i hope the boys make wonderful, lifelong memories in this little room.
there's a lot of love in there, that's for sure. :) Pin It
