Adding another bed...decorating time!

There is no new news on the adoption front, but we've decided to go ahead and add another bed to our home. It's been something we've talked about for awhile, and have been keeping our eyes open for a nice set of bunks. Well, this past weekend we found them. Rather, my mom found them. Picked them up with the help of my daddy on Saturday. They are great!!!

With the help of the kids (um, yea, me and 2 kids...hubs was out of town), we took apart (they wouldn't fit through Hulk's bedroom door) and reassembled the bunks and took apart his full bed and removed it from his room. It was a lot of work...probably would have been less work with another adult. ha! But they wanted to help.

I look at these bunk beds and they mean so much more than just another bed in the room. They mean that we are growing our family. Maybe now, maybe in the future. But we are dedicated and ready. The kids LOVE them...now to get the room together. We have been needing to paint both kids rooms  for some time now. So, hopefully we can do that in the coming week and start making both of their rooms fun and cute...and ready for a new brother or sister.

Now...off to pinterest. Need some inexpensive, diy, decor ideas!!

For now, I have this idea for the walls. I made these quickly and thinking of printing them for 16x20 frames (each painted in coordinating colors or just black)...or decoupage them to canvas? Don't know yet. I love dictionary art and love the way these turned out.

Both kids rooms will be painted gray so if they need to trade rooms when kiddo #3 comes home, they can. So, color and fun stuff has to come through art and bedding. What do ya think?

Hulk is 8, so I'm trying to find something fun...but also something that can grow with him for a couple of years.
