Goodbye Mother Goose, Act 4

Then a new bed for Cate, with a cool canopy and a play area underneath. Cate's bedding is the Fabler Prickar line, the storage is the Trofast line, and the bed is Kura.

God I love IKEA. We got all the bedding and storage units there. We looked there for bunkbeds, but the ones we liked didn't seem super sturdy; I am happy with the one we found at a local furniture store. But everything else is IKEA and seems to be durable enough for 3 four-and-half year olds, which says a lot.


New light, old shelf (a custom job by Grandpa), and a few more odds and ends. The clutter on the shelf, particularly all the electrical cords, is driving me batty. If anyone has a good idea about how to hide/camoflage them, feel free to share.


This is were we put the next days clothes......


........jammies and buddies live here......



Still to do: recover/replace the rocking chair, put the window curtains back up (or possibly replace them), new curtains for the play area under Cate's bed (I'm thinking an open, "puppet theater" type window would be cool), some kind of "tent door" on Cate's canopy so she can have privacy and put up high shelves on the walls above Cate's bed for "off limits" stuff. And maybe paint the floor. We'll see. I promise more pictures when it is all finished!

WOW! What incredibly cool ways to decorate and find privacy! My kids rooms are decorated like a rumage sale exploded, LOL. Okay, Katie's is decorated like Mickey Mouse threw up, but you get the idea :-)

I love it! We can't wait to see it in person this week. Oh, and I DO have a solution for the cords. I will try to remember to bring it along tomorrow.
