Brother and Sister Shared Bedroom

I transitioned my babies from their nursery to their big kid room. But now I look into their room and see a great place for them to play and relax and grow. Previously, it was just a neutral room with green walls and decor that worked for both a boy and a girl.

Previously, they shared an old dresser that belonged to my great grandmother.

They are inexpensive and not the top of the Ikea quality line, but they will get us through this phase of their lives without taking up valuable real estate. I found these amazing Hexagon shadow boxes in the craft section of Target.

I gave them a quick coat of acrylic paint along the back panel. I gave Little Miss a small doll and updated their air freshener with fabric that matched the room. I cut out shapes that matched their interests and traced them onto the canvas.

I added some color over their beds with these Initial wall collages.

The kids love them because they are not too hot, yet keep them warm against the chill of an AC. When I searched Pinterest for a brother and sister shared bedroom, it was the one idea that stood out the most.

But I hated the idea of losing all that valuable real estate. After reading about calm down corners from Views From A Step Stool, I knew that I wanted to make a similar space for Little Miss.

I just strung some yarn and used clothes pins to attach the pictures.

For their dirty clothes, I hung a pillowcase inside of an embroidery hoop. I love this method because I can quickly grab their laundry and put everything into the washer at once. The kids love their new brother and sister shared bedroom.
