home tour continued....

the boys' room

it's hard to find this room tidy, what with three boys sharing it, but somehow i caught it half way decent today.

kinda dark, but here is where John-John sleeps. i love the big bank of windows in here. Samuel and William have the bunk.

if there is a theme to their room, i guess it would be the ocean, though i haven't really aimed toward anything, it just seems as if things have sort of fallen together.





this is a print of a painting by my stepdad's brother, entitled "Matthew". Cal wanted to give us a framed print as a wedding gift, and asked us to pick of several of his works. i chose this one. at the time, i always envision us having a son and naming him Matthew. funny how that hasn't been one of the names on our list.


the boys have had the same Tommy surfboard sheets and red and white duvets from IKEA for so long that i feel like i should replace them, but they've worn well, that it seems like a waste.

i'd like to paint their beds, but that is kind of far down the list of things to do. their room was a peanut butter color for several years, but i painted it this wedgewood blue last year and have been really pleased with it.

and all those marks you see on the ceiling aren't dirt, they're glow in the dark stars and planets. i love that they have those, just as i did as a kid.
