:nak2 im just not good at this :whisper "please please help me" :)
we moved up here and stayed in corporate housing for a while. now that we are in our own place we need to get the kids' rooms set up. im imbarrased to admit, due to my pregnancy and just not having the extra money, all they have is their toys in toy buckets and their clothes in clothes buckets. and for beds they have air matresses and/or sleeping bags in their bedrooms. They have 0 furniture!
From our taxes dh has given me about $400 each to spend on their beds and dressers.
I think ill put the two girls in one room and ds in his own room.
Because of their chemical sensitivities and Ive just started illiminating their allergies I dont want to do box springs or used. lest they have a flare up and it end up being the bed i just spent money on that i wont be able to replace.
Ive been trying to come up with some ideas but have gotten pretty much no where. im overwhelmed i think with all thats out there.
I do have an idea in my head.
For the girls (3 and 7yrs) some kind of bali, zen, princess feel. Lots of pillows, shimmery, rich colors. either two twins or maybe a full.
With long drapey curtains that will replace a headboard if the beds go under the windows.
not sure about dressers or shelving but i do want one for each girl for their own things. they dont really need clothes drawers their clothing is in the closet.
For ds (5yrs) im having a hard time visualising. he loves secret agent, pirates, castle, weapons, transformers, legos, typical boy stuff. I would like some kind of medieval armor of God theme but have no clue how to translate that as decorating his room.
I also thought maybe just getting three futons where the platform is low to the ground and they can be either a seat or layed flat for their bed. I had one with my first apartment and really like it.
Ill go try and bookmark some sites with pictures and see what you ladies think of them. I would really really really appreciate any thoughts, ideas, suggestions. I might even be able to talk dh into letting me post pictures when i have their rooms done
