A big bed for Luke

Luke is officially in his big boy bedroom! Because he is resistant to change, we started this process several months ago when we went to look at bedroom furniture for him. We finally decided on a bunkbed and chest of drawers, and we got the bottom bed and the chest last week. The top bunk came today, and the room is finished! It took several weekends of cleaning out, painting (thanks to my dear husband), putting together, and straightening up, but it's finally done. Luke's been sleeping in the bottom bed for about a week, and he loves it! He's excited to have the top bunk because it makes the bottom bed even cozier, not to mention it's fun to bounce around on the top bed. He likes to spend time in his room playing and is having fun discovering toys he previously had forgotten about. Every day he finds something new that he hasn't played with in months.


I love finding a good deal! The bookshelf in the corner came from Home Depot. It was on sale for $12.97, and the red & blue bins were $2.97 each. I found something similar at Target for almost three times as much!





I'm not doing much as far as decorations go, but I found these wall hangings at Pier 1 Kids and thought they were made for Luke. The lamp was another bargain for $15!

Hooray, Luke! What a cool bed. I've been wanting some bunk beds for Drew, lately. They'll be especially great for y'all if Baby #2 is a boy. Has Luke expressed a desire for a boy or girl?

I think he'd like a brother, but we talk about having a girl just in case. He's going to be a good big brother no matter what!
