Lily and Jack decided they were ready for a little bedroom re-do...or maybe I should call it an "up-do."
We put the bunks up, and so far Jack has not been tempted to pretend the top is a trampoline.
Whew!
They have so much more room to play, which is a wonderful thing in a small house.
Most days, there are race car tracks, baby clothes, and legos strewn about.
I love that they have their own space to create and use their imaginations!
Can you tell I don't iron my sheets...haha.
Lily loves flowers...Jack loves cars.
We try to include a little of both to make them happy campers.
I also added the table and antique white chair as a place to color and create art projects.
It is great for tea parties, too:).
Lily actually embroidered the beautiful little bunny picture.
I was so excited to frame it and hang it in their room
If you would like to read about how we put the room together for about $200 {including beds, mattresses, and bedding} you can click here.
Here is a before picture:
We changed the wall color from "Butter Cream" to Dutch Boy's "White Oak" and I really like the subtle contrast. The wainscoting is Dutch Boy's "Whipped White."
I have tried so many whites and this one has been perfect!
Beside spending $40 on two gallons of paint, the room re-do was free.
The darling table and chairs were gifts.
My Mom found the antique white chair at a yard sale for $1.
We just love to switch things up and the kids feel like it is a whole new room.
Have a wonderful weekend!

so simple and pretty. i love it!
Can I just beam myself over there?! So wonderfully light and simple. I love the idea of the legos in the bowl on the table and the high chair is awesome. :)
How sweet and simple!Very calming.
Love it! Your bunks are so cute... Love the turned spindles. Seriously, iron sheets!? I'm not even sure if I'd get to that if I didn't sleep, lol!
Hi Julia- love your blog!! This room is so sweet and I absolutely LOVE the beds.
This room is so striking. So serene and sweet. LOVE Lily's bunny. It's precious.
I love it! Especially since it for a boy and a girl. I have an almost one year old boy and a little girl due in a month. We only have a two bedroom and I've been worrying about having them share a room and how it would all work. Your post made me feel better about having them share a room. I can find a way to mix girl style and boy style too.
What a beautiful room, clean, uncluttered and full of invite. I love white...it looks beautiful.
I'd have to say, I also love your blog...it really blesses my heart.

I love your kids' room...
it looks so serene and spacious.
And the bed looks so comfy and inviting.
Love the casualness of unironed sheets!:) Lily did so good on the bunny, very cute!
I can't believe you don't iron your sheets. Really. Sad. ;)
I love the simplicity of the room. It's so easy for them to keep clean. Perfect. Lisa~
This room is gorgeous! What a fun post.
I just adore this room! My girls would have loved a space like this. Having space for a table and chairs is a great feature.
Wow - LOVE LOVE LOVE this room! You did an amazing job!
Either way the room looks great. Your bedding choice makes the bedroom look great no matter what. Really. I love your style! :)
Julia-What a beautiful, beautiful room. I just love it.
I tried sending you an e-mail, but it has come back to me two times now. I was wondering if you could send me an email at littleprairiebaby@gmail.com I have a couple quick questions for you! :) Thanks so much!
I love the bunny embroidery that your daughter did so much that I'd love my daughter's little sewing club to do it as a project. Is the pattern available? Would you please email me (cddupee at gmail dot com) and let me know.
Thanks so much,
Carolyn
Hi Julia, Kath from Australia here. Lovely room redo, a beautiful peaceful sleeping space. Makayla, don't worry about mixing your kids up in a room...I have two teenage girls, 19 & 17 and my son, 10, all together in a converted attic, partitions but no doors. They have survived this well over the years, and learnt tolerance and consideration. Look forward to reading more of your blog Julia.
