Boy//Girl Shared Room

Hi everybody!!

First of all, I just want to take a minute to thank those of you who come here and read what I write. It means so SO much to me!! I see the numbers, I know quite a few of you are here reading and I really cannot put into words how awesome that is. I'm working on a few new collaborations and because you keep coming back that makes it all possible. It really is a dream come true to have this blog really turning into something that I can do everyday and be proud of. So again, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!!

Please please comment! Let me know you're here!! I really would love that!

Today I'm going to talk siblings sharing rooms.

Our plan was to have 3 kids. We bought a house with 4 bedrooms because we knew all of our kids were going to be able to have their own rooms. Well, then life happened and before we knew it Lexi was living with us and I was pregnant with our fourth baby, Tenley. So, out the window went the idea of every kid having their own room. 

At first our plan was obviously, Mike and I in our room, Logan takes bedroom number two, Lexi takes bedroom number three, and Kamryn, Kensington and Tenley would share bedroom number four. Bedroom number four is really big. It used to be a loft that the previous owners enclosed to make a bedroom. It takes up half of our house. 

We quickly realized our "genius" plan was not going to work. Kamryn is 7 and Kensington & Tenley are 2 and 1. Kensington and Tenley go to bed at least an hour and a half before Kamryn. We hoped Kamryn could just sneak in the room without waking the girls up but this never happened. She kept waking them up...EVERY. TIME. You know how that goes, once a toddler is up...it'll be hours before they go to sleep again. So, after a lot of tears -- from all 3 girls, we decided we needed to switch things up.

THE NEW PLAN

Kamryn and Logan now needed to share a room temporarily until Lexi goes to college. Then Kamryn will jump over to what is now Lexi's room and that'll be her room. We have approximately 1 year, 3 months, 4 days, 18 hours and 7 minutes (just kidding.....) until that happens. We were at a loss, we had no idea what else we could do. Lexi is a teenager and like most teenagers she's up on her phone or doing her homework night after night. There was no way her and Kam could share a room so our only option was to have Kamryn and Logan in the same room. Short of adding an addition on our house...which we don't need.

I need some advice on how to make their room both girly and boyish so they both love their space.

We're definitely doing bunk beds. Kamryn has already called the top bunk and Logan is more than thrilled to get the bottom bunk. This will work out great because even when Lexi is away at college she'll still be coming home for winter and summer break. At that point we're going to let her use Kamryn's room and have Kam go back to the top bunk. 

Okay....I need idea's! I've been pinteresting like a mad woman!  

Here are some idea's I found...

I'm thinking going with navy blue and some greys and then girly touches for Kamryn's space and boyish touches for Logan's.

Have any of you done a boy/girl shared room before??

Please Please PLEASE comment and let me know your tricks and tips!!!
