Aaron’s room re-do!

P2050002

Before

We’ve been doing lots of moving around of stuff with the start of home-schooling and the twins’ moving to big beds. So, I thought we’d go ahead and give Aaron’s room a make-over. Before now it’s been a hodge-podge of furniture things we’ve had around and a strange mix of Cars, baseball and dinosaurs. He’s grown out of the Cars things and now it’s just a strange mix of dinosaurs and baseball.

After

Thank you IKEA for some decent quality and cheap solutions to a little boy’s room. And, also thank to my husband for watching all the boys and baby Lance for actually taking a bottle so I could spend the afternoon at IKEA by myself!  The desk was $20, bookcase $25 and the red little shelves were $12. We’ve had all kinds of baseball décor sitting in closets that I was able to  bring out. We got an awesome deal at $50 for a used bunkbed and two twin mattresses (the twin boys are now in the bed that used to be in). I just put a request on our neighborhood’s facebook page and a family was just looking to get it out of their house. Love when it all comes together like that! Add a can of paint for $20 and we have a look that can last a long time!
