The Boys Room (my hard work)

[Kenre]

So, I'm nesting. Horribly bad, too. I came home from WalMart today and went immediately into my boys' room. "This needs to be fixed" I said to myself. And I got to work. First thing I did was move their dresser into the closet so that they had more room to play.

Then I decided I should take pictures of "before" (but without the dresser in the way, because I'd already moved it.)

This is DS's bed in the corner.

SS's bed (with DS's sippy cup on it... DS thought it would be a good place to keep it while we cleaned together.)

DS playing on his VTech Table where the dresser was.

DS's "side" of the closet with the dresser just put in there. This is before I went through his clothes and took out the 12 month ones for the new 18 month clothes he has. The top things are sheets for the bunk bed if need be.

SS's "side" of the closet. Their toy box with all their toys. I hadn't finished goingt through his clothes yet, either. The box ontop is empty. It's for if we need it later (and DS likes to play "car" in it! LOL!)

The toy box, Trains box, and DS's "bike".

NOW FOR THE "AFTER" PICTURES:

I added DS's diaper shelf to the closet and now it's out of my livingroom. It has the Train's box on the bottom and the blankets and sheets for DS's bed on top.

DS's new bed! YAY! SS's bed got a railing on it now to keep DS from using his new bed to climb into SS's bed. (Thank you my wonderful neighbor who gave us the mattress for DS.)

SS's bed with the railing from the top bunk now on the bottom bunk.

The dresser now has labels on DS's drawer (the bottom one with the label on it) and SS's drawer. Now both boys have their own drawer for undies and socks.

DS's clothes (not all of them. I'm still doing laundry) with labels for where they go above them. Now DH can't just throw things up there or say that he doesn't have "such and such" if it's really there.

SS's clothes (not all of them) with labels.

DS coming into his room to play for a little bit before bedtime.

I am so proud of myself, but it's only one room out of many that need to be done. I am going to work on the living room tomorrow after our laundry time at MIL's house is finished (takes a while, because it all needs to be hung to dry.)

I just wanted to share my hard work. DS, of course, "helped" me with it all. He made sure his bed was comfy right after I set it up:

This is how we found out he can climb onto SS's bed! LOL!

So, how does everyone think I did? Did I do a good job?! I really feel like I might have to do more in there... after I finish the rest of my house. I wish I had money to seperate those toys out of the box.

Looks good.  I think I need a "nesting" mama to come "nest" my house. 

Seriously, the labels are a wonderful idea.  Good luck with everything.

Thank you. I asked DH if he wanted me to show him where everything went and he said he was just going to let me get the boys ready... I'm said, "Uhm, no. I'll put labels up for you."

More like: It was a nessessity. I wanted the toys to stay out of my living room, and so the boys needed more space to play. They also needed their clothes gone through. The neighbor gave me the bed today, so that also needed to be done. I knew DH would never do it, and so I had to do it while I could still lift things.
