I have been loving using the phrase '
boys, lets...... get dressed, go to bed, get coats on etc. With the two of them getting closer in ability & interest it was necessary to change their room around a bit. They've been sharing a room for a year now, except with a huge crib taking up more space than it needed to. So a little mid-winter shake up, crib taken down with the help of my little guys and a new toddler bed installed. A dresser switcheroo and we have the boys room. With my tendencies it will probably be moved a hundred times over but I actually like this configuration of toys ( or lack of ), mementos & cozy animals to make their room soft & warm. I tend to keep toys our of their room but keep plenty of books around. I like the idea that this space can be used as a play area if needed but when it's time to rest there's little else to do but look at a book in your bed , or your brothers. I had a vintage shower curtain in my stash that I hung as a winter curtain, it's a pastoral scene with large birch trees & arborvitaes ( you can see a bit in the last photo) . I love it, one of those
hot damn! moments, it brings spring into the room during these cold days. Felix's corner looks positively 50's with
his quilt & dark wood bed & dresser, both are family heirlooms which we treasure. I know these boys won't be able to fit in a room together for long, literally they will be too tall, so I'm tickled that they love to share one now and each has a space of their own.

Room looks so cozy. I like the concept of a quiet space where they will sleep or look at books.
I was wondering what happened to that star this Christmas! LOL. It joins the long list of things that I have forgotten that I passed on! LOL! Used to be that we would recycle clothes etc through Vinnies and then the dress, shirt,skirt would show up at a house party on someone or other...it was very confusing!!! I guess I have always been adle -brained!HA. Anyway, glad to see that pretty old star glowing in your house. The room looks great!

The star is now their night light and it is soooo sweet. I love that it came from your house Maria, a sweet memory from my childhood. glad you like the room.
Nice cosy room and yes those ARE great curtains! Reminds me we are behind on getting Stella into a toddler bed. Boys look so sweet reading books together in Oscar's little bed. Nice night light indeed!
Just found your blog and I can't wait to look some more. This post reminds me of when my 2 boys were younger (they are only 5 &7 now but yesterday they were your boys ages it seems). We have 2 boys in a room and soon enough our 2 girls will share a room too, its interesting how the kids' rooms evolve over the years.
Cool picture! Looks like something from a magazine article.
