Wall art for Carter & Dylan's room

 

I've been a picture hanging fool these past few weeks.  Our walls have been bare for so long, it's so nice to have a bit of life on the walls around here!  I found these fun prints for the boys' room on here on Etsy last week.  I must give credit to this girl, she was great.  She had  a proof for me the day after I ordered and I received them in the mail by the end of the week.  She has all kinds of things like this and you can pick your colors.  I added the navy mats and found these frames on clearance at Michael's and spray painted them orange.  When it gets nice out again and we don't have 40 mph winds, I need to spray paint them again.  If you saw them in person you would see they are a bit rough!  They were bumped a couple times after I was finished.

The boys were busy hanging their train picture while i was hanging the others.

Also - I should share, I used this picture hanging tip from Pinterest to hang these and it worked pretty well!  I would recommend trying it.  Since these were cheap frames, the hanger on the back side was in a different spot on each one.  

Ideas for our little boys' new room

It's hard to plan what to do in our house without have even walked through it, I plan to take things slow as we will be living in this home for a long time.  I do still want to do something fun for the boys' room.  

I have been debating a bit on what to do since I am planning on having them share a room when I move in, but will separate them at some point.  Any twins' moms out there - when did you put yours in their own room and how did that go?  Right now it just doesn't seem to make sense.  I think they would feel a little lost, they would probably spend more time trying to get out of bed to see what's happening with the other and they share everything, including clothes.  So i just think it is best right now to keep them in the same room.  So here are a few ideas I have in mind, but we will see how it all comes together!

I picked the Tickle Monster book for my inspiration.  The boys always loved this book and I love the colors, so I want to use these colors for the room. 

I really like the stripes on this wall, so I am thinking of doing something similar with the Tickle Monster colors.  Just one wall though - I'm sure it will be a fun project:)

I saw this bedding at Target this week and bought it.  I might run across something I like more, but I think if we do the stripes on the wall, the bedding should be pretty simple. I might add a fun color of sheets.  Or if I was a really cool mom, maybe I would buy some Thomas sheets.

OK - so use your imagination on this one and we'll see how it comes together.  I had an idea and then saw this picture that was exactly what I was thinking.  I thought Keith might be able to build a huge box that could fit in the corner and serve as headboards.  I think this could be the best set up for the room, since both boys could still have a wall to lean against and it would leave a lot of floor space as well.  

I think we will continue to use the Ikea dresser they have been using.  Then I found these beds online, I'm thinking about buying.  I think the drawers would be nice for extra storage.

So that is my idea right now, who knows how it will turn out!
