How did Summer turn into September so fast? Seems like a blur and then.....bam, it's Sept. I truly wish we had Fall weather at our doors, but everyday it's still mid-90s. Needless to say I am completely over the heat.
So I have stayed inside and kept myself busy. Just finished a room for my son for the 2nd time. When we first moved into this house, it looked like this.
It was that little stash room. Everything and anything was thrown in there. Since we don't have basements in FL, we all pray for that little extra stash room - where you open the door and throw something in.
Next up, came the 1st redo, which included a PB bunk/loft system.
It was great for a year, until he grew taller and was tired of climbing up the ladder to go to bed. It now sits in my garage and is posted on CL, waiting for the next person who might be able to use it.
It was decided he wanted a "regular" bed and I wanted a better space for him to do the TONS of homework he has this year.
I give you the newest version. Almost everything we had, or I had in storage. The only items I needed to purchase was a floating shelf, a new desk chair and some bins to slide under the bed. All IKEA and maybe spent $75. The bed and rug I had, the little desk from West Elm was yanked from another spot and the curtains pulled from the closet. I had them made for a house that was I think 4 houses ago. Sometimes I'm glad I save things, instead of saying "damn, I wish I would have saved those".
Same angle as the old stash room. BTW, sadly I no longer have a stash room.
The room is small and the bed faces the wall mounted TV.
The homework desk. OK, check the poster above the desk and you'll see what he really wants to be doing at this desk.
His other passion - yep, still loves the legos, despite he's almost 12.
Found these bins at IKEA when I ran in to get the shelf and chair.
Love the fact that they slide right under the bed. Out of sight, out of mind? Maybe that will help with the homework. Wishful thinking on my part.
