Shared Bedroom Photos

I still want to work on writing up a post about HOW we did the transition to a shared bedroom for the kids. Honestly, it has gone pretty smoothly over the past three months – much less difficult than I was anticipating, thank goodness.

Until then, here are a few photos that I took a couple of months ago of the little room we (literally) built for two. It’s still pretty girlie since we originally thought Stella would be an only child when we decorated it, but I’m sure we’ll add more touches of Harvey as he grows up. We are happy that it’s a small space that is more focused on calming activities like books, stuffed animals, and sleep. We have a small house, and I didn’t want their bedroom to be another high energy play area, you know? I love how it turned out and that we can keep our spare bedroom as an office space / guest bedroom!

Playing with the panoramic setting on my phone camera…

Standing in the closet door, looking towards their beds.

The book shelf / storage area. The 4 bins hold spare sheets, stuffed animals, misc., and Stella’s shoes.

Looking back towards the pocket door that leads out to the landing – the bathroom and our bedroom are the other rooms in the upstairs.

Harv’s crib

Stella’s bed looks so tiny in this photo, but it’s actually a crib mattress as well, so the same size as the crib. Charlie made the ruler for me!

Stella gets the top rail, Harvey gets the bottom. 🙂

How about you?

• Do your kids share a room or not?
• If you don’t have kids yet, do you plan on them sharing a room some day if you have two or more?
• Does it matter to you if they are different sexes?
• Did you share a room as a kid?
