room makeover

For the past several weeks we have been working on the boys room.  We started off by giving their bunk beds away to someone in need.  While the beds were out, we painted the room orange.  Don't ask me why we went with this color.....I just wanted something different.  It was a pain in the neck.  I about cried the first night.  I went through a gallon of paint and could still see blue (the color before).  It took another gallon and a half to paint that small room.  Next, we got new beds for them.  We went with captains beds.  They now have their own drawers with their own clothes instead of sharing a dresser.  Our house is small, and the rooms are small, so with two beds in there, we really couldn't fit much in there.  Last, we added new comforters and a curtain and two shelves so they could each put their "treasures".  We are still looking for a small trunk or something small to put at the end of their beds because they seem to have a lot of "treasures".  We were also going to do carpet while the beds were out, but Lowes acted like they didn't care (and now they do) and the price was too high.  I think we will wait or maybe try to do it ourselves with carpet squares.
