The Boys Bedroom Tour

In typical style here, the boy's have switched bedrooms a fair bit over the past few years. But I have to say this room is definately my favourite & they will be sharing now until the time comes when we are able to afford an extension (or we move to a bigger house!)

I've been fiddling with this room for ages, restyling & rearranging things until I'm happy with it. And I think I'm finally content with it. Angus has just got a new bed & the plan is to get William a new one for his birthday in July. One that will suit his needs heading into school next year. I like the fact that their beds are at either end of the room as it allows me to create a space that is suited to each of them & make it a little more personal.

I love this view of the room. These paper lanterns were used at our Easter party last year and they were just too nice to throw away so they ended up here & it's the perfect spot.

This bed was only installed this week for Angus & I am loving the colour. And just $99 from Kmart!! 

The zebra print, house shelves, quilt cover & cushion are also all from Kmart (love that place!)

Wooden letter A from Typo. The other prints are from Etsy and the triangle wall stickers are from Walleffect. 

The little red chair was a gift from my mother in law & footstool from Kmart. The kids love to sit here throughout the day & read a book or two!

We have a playroom where the majority of the toys live so this is just a little area where the boys can come & play & have some peace & quiet. This car storage idea has been the BEST THING EVER! It really is the best way to store cars. 

This is William's side of the room. Monkey picture is actually a tea towel from Bed, Bath N' Table. All other prints were purchased from Etsy. Batman pillowcaae from Down That Little Lane

These costumes have had so much wear! The boys love dressing up. Both purchased from Big W. Prints from Etsy & Wooden W letter from Typo.

Hope you've enjoyed this little tour of the boy's room & like it as much as I do! 

Do your kids share a room?

Angus Turns Three

Yesterday was Angus' third birthday. I truly love seeing my children grow up & couldn't be happier that the baby stages are well & truly behind us.

We celebrated this latest milestone with some family & friends & Angus had a great time.

Happy Birthday little man.

The Playroom

I love playrooms!

We've created a few since the kids were born & I thought I'd share the latest one with you. My kids don't have a lot of toys. 

They love learning & playing games on their iPads & our house is quite small & I don't want it filled with toys! 

They share a bedroom and all of the lego lives in there so I needed a space to store all of the other toys that kept them neat & tidy & away from the living areas of the house.

We have a small room between the dining room & main bathroom and after the last change of furniture around the house, this room became the perfect spot for the playroom. 

I'm a big lover of shelving with labelled baskets. I find it's the best way to keep everything as organised & tidy as possible. 

I recently moved these super hero prints out of the boy's bedroom & think this is the perfect spot for them.

You can find them here

So there you have it. Our current playroom. It's not huge but everything fits & it means we can enjoy a toy-free lounge room (whoo hoo!)

Do you have a playroom?

I'd love to see yours!
