Meg and Adeline’s Room

It used to be the storage room.

Weirdly enough, I did not take a picture of it crammed with toys, Christmas ornaments, fabric, tools, paint, and a pump for our never-worked sprinkler system.

So, this is the closest thing I have.

Super dungeon like.

My friend asked if Meg and Adeline felt unloved because they were being moved to a room previously filled with spiders and falling off plaster.

Insulting.

After carpet but before baseboard and wall touch up.

Here’s to my first carpet purchase in my career as an adult.

See how cute it is?

I mean, there’s pom-poms.

And nice looking boys in cardigans who may or may not be the ‘poster’ children for bad posture.

I picked up the little cart at an estate sale, in their dump pile.

Our friend welded on new casters and it got a good sanding and new paint.

I picked up the matching metal beds from our local Re-Store for….$16!

It has a little space heater since the heat isn’t connected to this room.

The girls actually stay pretty toasty.

They claim they have the coziest room because they have carpet AND their own heater.

And a transom window.

And for all you locals who have been to our house and are curious about where the storage room was/new bedroom is. {Since I probably just whisked you by it, along with the basement, on the house tour.}

It’s the space off the mud and laundry room at the back of the house.

Christmas Break is next week.

I’ll probably have loads of time to write up blogs while I’m hiding in the bathroom drowning out the crying with Christmas carols and chocolate.
