Robert's room

At Ridge Crest we had all three kids in one tiny room. Everything fit but as they were getting bigger, and a new baby on the way, we found a bigger place.  When we first toured the house, we picked out who would have which room.  Robert got the room right across from us with the hard wood floor.  He did not like this idea.  So shortly after moving in we picked out carpet that we could afford.   

The kids helped roll it out and loved doing so. We tried to keep Robert involved as much as possible so he will like it better.

Since the girls had built in cabinets, Robert got the dresser.  I painted a wooden train for him.

On the wall with his closet, we have his name, his Jesus picture, his blessing picture, and one of Robert and Nathan.

I also made these hangings using the cricut.

So his room went from this stage with the crib to...

this with his new twin-sized bed he got for his birthday.  (We our kids turn 3, they get out of the crib and in a new bed).  We got bunk beds since Hailey was in a toddler bed and needed more room also.  The beds itself were a little under $200. Then the mattresses were $100 each.  We also need bunky boards ($50 each), a plastic zipped cover, a mattress soft cover for both beds and new pillows and pillow protectors (about $50). So what was supposed to be a find new simple bed turned into a $550 life investment.  We are so glad we did it too. They love their new beds!

Gramma gave Robert the super nice bedding.

Robert loves finding the letters of his name, so having it on his pillow was a big hit.

Eventually, we will get new curtains, then his room will be completely done!
