Okay, I've read this post more than once and just noticed that your reference to the girls' room is in MY house. Thank you for the complements! And as an FYI - it hasn't been that clean since the pictures were taken. And all the junk that I couldn't stand and removed from their room, is now in ours (and has been for too long!). That is one room I wouldn't dare take a picture of.

I'm pretty sure if I let them decorate their bedrooms w/ art it would look pretty much like that. We save our art wall for the kitchen and mean mommy throws it out every couple months or so and they're forced to start again. love the tour!

I LOVE this room! I have 4 girls in a two bedroom house. Three have slept in the same room for 2 1/2 years now. We are just now moving the 3rd girl in with the 4th.( almost 1 year old. ) My 5 yr old informed me she "will be 6 soon and she needs her own space!" They were sharing a single bed...sleeping feet to feet. Anyway...I said all that to say....when you cram all the clothes, shoes, toys and trinkets of 3 creative girls in one room...it becomes beyond packed. So...it's just their life right now. And I think your boys have an awesome space!! Their artwork is the decor...and it's awesome for a boys room. If I could get my girls to draw and paint in only pink and purple to match their walls...I'd do just what you have. When did we decide our homes have to be staged for a magazine all the time?? Thanks for sharing!

Honestly? I love that room. And I love seeing someone else putting all three of their kids in the same bedroom. We do have a small house - but we have three bedrooms. I moved the twins in with Oliver when I could no longer stand the two bedtime routines madness and wanted to streamline. It's not great looking (a toddler bed and two toddler mattresses on the floor), but it works for them. And every morning I get to see a new tabeleau of sleeping children. They're like a pile of puppies.

Your boys will have such great memories of their fun childhood and their "boy" bedroom that was stamped with their own personalities and interests.

And it's SO clean. Good de-cluttering!

It's looking good, Stimey....

nope. Mine are covered in excrement, pen, footprints, blood and mustard.

And that is just Boo's room!

Love the pics babe, that is a KIDS ROOM! Not an overly styled showpiece but a room that lets their personalities shine.

I may feel better about the state of their walls, but feel worse about the messiness of their rooms. You should see how bad it is, but you won't b/c I am too darned embarassed. Hee hee! Good job making their room look great!

2009-09-04T13:52:53.316-04:00

Luckily my kids don't draw on the walls (watch- I probably just cursed myself), which is good since we rent the house! But, they do like to hang things on the walls like their creations and stickers. I guess I don't worry about it too much because they are so proud and it's not permanent!
Your boys' room is so fun!!

Actually, I think yours are pretty fabulous, as far as kiddo decor goes. I spied Cars decals on Quinn's walls - Sally and Mater if I'm not mistaken. We've got a different set of Cars decals on ours. Great minds think alike...or shop at the same discount shops, whichever.

I'd like to invite your guys over to decorate Nik's room; their room has so much personality! To me, that's way more important than looking "nice."

2009-09-04T11:47:18.966-04:00

I think the room looks great. It's so "boy". And heck, you've got three boys in one bedroom. I'm just amazed that all four wall are still standing.

Curse you, now I want to go back to IKEA. (Must resist. Must resist.)

So happy to hear that the Pyramid will soon be back in business. I have a lot of decluttering and organizing on my fall to-do list.

Hope school is going well.

I usually attack my girl's rooms when they are away for the weekend, off at camp or head back to school...basically whenever I know they won't be home for a while. It makes ME feel so good!

Not that bad, because Hello, you can SEE the floor. Or maybe because the vacuum's there, you cleaned up first....

LOVE the Jack train - it's really great.

And if Einey saw the reptile parking sign, she'd totally beg me for one (so, um, where did you get it?).
