Since finding out we were pregnant, and maybe even a little before, we have been trying to decide where to put all the kids and how to have our family grow in this house. After MUCH deliberation we delved into finishing part of the basement and moving Caitlin upstairs. This way her room is huge and she can have part bedroom part playroom and still use the "kids bathroom" on the main floor and be close to mom and dad's room, among other reasons. We talked up the big move a lot and she was ready. She even started referring to her room as "the baby's room" before she was even completely moved out. She has been sleeping great and really enjoying her new space to play and have friends up and be creative. She has been good about keeping it clean and sharing everything and she wants to invite anyone and everyone to come see her new room. I'm so glad she loves it!
Design-wise we kept the same color scheme and theme for her room portion. I really just re-used and re-positioned things from her room. The big change was all her new bedding, and figuring out storage with no closet! For the playroom portion we added a big magnet board/whiteboard and the table and chairs and then storage for everything.
Details:: bedding: duvet = ikea, white ruffled pillow = target, blue ruffled pillow = pier one (old) all other pillows sewn by me from previous room fabrics. armoire: painted with Annie Sloan chalk paint in "old world white" knobs from hobby lobby, white table and chairs = ikea, low cube shelf = ikea, large mirror in dress up area = ikea, everything else has been re-used from previously
