Ian’s Room Makeover
Yup, that’s the news of the hour. We’re pregnant again and that means a few changes for the little monkey. The biggest one, do we use his crib for it2 and get a brand new bed for him or do we start completely over? I’m thinking Ian deserves a new bed, one that isn’t a crib. What do you think? What I’m looking at is the KURA reversible bed.
Ikea has this on display and they include a canopy over it that makes it look like a tent. Ian always wants to climb into it whenever we are there, so I don’t think he would complain about it. The only thing I’m not really crazy about is no matter which wall we would put this on, he’s going to be near a window. I’m not entirely sure if that is a good idea or not. Either way, the coolness doesn’t end there. A friend of ours, Jill, had a brillant plan and I am so thinking of stealing it. Basically, she said to put a crib mattress on the floor underneath and turn it into his own reading room. We could add his bookshelf under the ladder and add a lamp or whatnot underneath and he would have his own little hole. Plus, this would give them a little more room to play (because I could so see myself doing this for it2 when he grows up), oh wait, did I mention the boys (because honestly, are we really thinking I’ll have a girl?) will be sharing a room. I’m all about lofting their beds.
I’m thinking Ian’s room is going to get a total makeover during the next couple of months. I want to get rid of his dresser and turn his closet into a huge spacesaver closet – have you seen the size of his closet? He doesn’t need that much room. So I want to try and convert the lower half into a “dresser” with a bunch of drawers and the upper part will still have room for hanging stuff. I have a lot of plans going through my head right now and I’m thinking it’ll be perfect for two kids if I can do it right. Or I should say if Jesse lets me do what I want. ;) So we’ll see how it turns out.
