If Only

If only I had the money to make the kind of combined room I would want for my kids! I still want Nick to have his Star Wars stickers that he loves so much on his walls, but I want Olivia to have a girly room too (i am not talking about pink and frilly, just not boy). Before we had Olivia, Chris and I talked about moving Nick or what would be Olivia's room downstairs. But it just wasn't practical. Also, I don't want to rob my kids of the memories and the bonding they will have from sharing a room. I LOVED sharing a room with my sister(s). Ali and I shared a room and Katie would often join us in our adventures! Chris and his brother Andy shared a room and I love hearing Chris' stories from that time. I also know that my kids love their room just the way it is and wouldn't change a thing; So I could leave it the way it is. However, I want to walk by or be in their room and have it look put together instead of thrown together.  So here is a few options of what I would do if I felt like taking Chris away from the other projects we are doing ;-)  :

I would make an upholstered headboard for Nick. He would keep his star wars sheets and and I would get a gray comforter

Isn't this so cute! and would totaly go well on the other side to balance out the star wars

in love with everything in the room! maybe when Nick wants to go downstairs (just a few years away really)

This  post will be interesting to look back on and see if I still like this in a few years!
