…during the epic snow of 2015.
We finally gave the boys a “big boy room”! The last time I decorated this room was when I was 7 months pregnant with my first baby – about 7 years ago! Since then, it’s served as a nursery for two sweet boys, and became a Lego playroom for the past year or so. Of course, the boys still needed to sleep in there, so walking across the room (and over piles of Legos) to tuck them in was a bit of a challenge. I loved decorating my DAUGHTER’S ROOM while I was pregnant with her, and the boys were long overdue for an update! While the snow fell this month, we moved the Legos into the basement play area and spent many hours creating a room that inspired creativity, encouraged curiosity, and made reading luxurious. The best part of the project was that boys were involved in almost every step! I think my favorite memory from this whole venture was the photo shoot we held for their favorite Lego creations. They spent the morning building, then I helped them photograph their projects, print out some photos, and hang them above their art desk. So much fun!
Everyone’s favorite spot in the room is the “reading nest” by the window – it’s so comfy that I sneak in here to read sometimes too! The print hanging on the wall here was made using images that we took while looking through the microscope on yet another snow day.
And here’s the whole room!
Since this project wasn’t originally going to be this massive, I didn’t think to take any “before” photos. You can get an idea of what we were working with from this snap, though.
