    Kids’ Room Part 1,245: Three Beds in a Room

    November 30, 2011 |

    I got a free toddler bed, did you hear? Sprayed that baby white and we practically have a matching pair 🙂

    How do I do naptime with two toddlers? Stagger bedtimes. Put one kid down, wait 15 min, put the other down. I didn’t do that yesterday and we didn’t have any naps… Don’t ask me how I’m going to do three, LOL. I HAVE NO CLUE AND I’M SCARED!

    I’ll probably end up waiting until this little one is 6-9 months old before I even attempt trying to put him in here.

    Also, don’t underestimate the power of blackout curtains. It’s like night time and so amazing…

    Here’s what it looked like almost two years ago (TWO YEARS – CRAP!)

    and today 🙂

    I’m calling this room finished. If it stays like this, I’d be pleased as punch. If we get around to working on the to-do list, beautiful. But it’s come a long way 🙂

    to-do list:
    -get another toddler bed
    -paint it white
    -sort kids’ clothes, put away old, have bins ready for next sizes, Goodwill unwanted

    -hang second curtain above bed

    -take down/rearrange string letters
    -figure out a solution to the drop down crib (either new one or fix old)
    -paint window trim
    -paint trim
    -finish bookshelf
    -add wall art (photos and drawings mounted to MDF)
    -make a play corner here

      My kids' room would look 1000000x classier if I just painted everything white. I'll tackle that this Spring... Hopefully!

      I think it looks awesome! Love the white. I have 5 kids. The oldest two are 12 months apart and all the rest are 19 months apart. We just found out we're having our 6th this summer. Oh...did I mention we live in a 3 bedroom house? 🙂 We have had to master naptime too. I like the staggering idea. Good times (and I actually mean that!) LOL

      Good luck. Est. naps was hard, but now they are easy peasy for my oldest. Hoping it goes well the second time around. Esp. when there is no nursing to put her to sleep. the bed looks great...like it was always white.
