That is the boys bedroom. Yes all THREE boys! We have always LOVED having our boys share a room and if there is ever another girl she'll be rooming with her sister as well! Having kids share rooms has been important to us from day one. Our last house in TN only had two bedrooms so it forced us into something that we already wanted to do from the get go. We are hoping and praying that our boys can learn to love each other well and respect each other and most importantly love to be together.
So that room will have the bunk beds and that's about it.
This is the play room. I am so excited about this room. I see lots of organization and lots of fun in here!!! We plan on painting the walls super bright, as opposed to the black that Deacon wants! We're also painting one wall with the magnet primer and chalkboard paint. Anyone done this before? I've heard we'll need lots more paint then we think we'll need!!! Should I go floor to ceiling with the chalkboard stuff?
Kids bathroom. We're painting this room the same color as the living room and entry way. Nothing special here, just a bathroom.
Very cute house! I did a large section of one of our walls in the magnet primer and chalkboard paint. I think we did two coats of the primer, and it is thick. The magnets stick to it, just not very well, especially if there is a breeze. 🙂 It might help to get some VERY strong magnets, or add a third coat of the primer. Then I think we put on two coats of the chalkboard paint. I love it! It’s so much fun to write things on it and use it for pictures.
yes- do floor to ceiling. you can write scripture at the top as a border. cant wait to see it!
I’ve used the magnet primer before. It works but requires many coats. I’d say twice as many as recommended. Strong magnets as opposed to weaker ones helps as well.
Love that. Our two boys room together. They used to be in separate rooms and once we put them into the same room, within a month half of their squabbling stopped. Our middle kiddo was rooming with our youngest so we had a boy/girl room…which was fine of course but they were getting a bit older and our eldest was getting too territorial even though he had his own room and so we split the smaller two (who are only 19mos apart) and put the boys together. The smaller two still have a great and close bond and now our eldest two get along SOOO much better.
When I was a kid me and 2 of my sisters always shared a room, I think it brought us closer even if my sister Holly was ALWAYS getting into my side of the closet. 🙂
If there’s another girl? Sounds promising!
you are so funny Shawnah! Someone else asked me about this yesterday too! No, no more girls and I’m not sure why I even said that. Stupid! NO more kids will be added to the Ivey roster. We are full!
