Kids Rooms

I am participating again this week in Kelly's blog party ~ Show us your life. 
This week's theme is kids rooms.

This of course is Layla's room.  She is really into pink and princesses.

Before Layla had a voice in the decor we had a more child like theme.  But I want Layla's room to be HER room and I really think it is a reflection of her style.  She loves the princess clock and she picked out her comforter herself.

The bed, dresser, bedside table and chest of drawers (in closet) are mine from when I was a child.  I love it!  I'm so glad that she likes it.  She has a fuzzy pink rocking chair...the Hanna Montana pillow consumes it! 

We found her a fun cute pink desk and then I made over her desk chair. I love her lime green lamp. It was one of the first things I bought for her nursery almost 6 years ago when I found out she was a girl. 

I had a very fancy room when I was little.  I loved it, but I want Layla to make her choices about her room.  She loves it clean and organized!  Sounds like her mommy!

Hayden's room is transforming from a baby boy to a big boy room.  So it is really pretty plain.

Hayden is too little to have a say in his room decor.  When he slept in a crib the room matched his crib bedding...cars and trucks.  Now that the crib is gone like I said we haven't really done much with his room.  I really would like to add stripes to the walls, but I haven't made time.

He loves his camo tent and chair.  When he plays during the day he retreats to the tent.  It drives me bonkers because it is so big.  Oh well, it makes him happy, and it is better in his room than in the living room. ha!

We really need maps in our house.  Gary travels and the kids are ALWAYS asking where he is going.  Or where the airplane is taking him next.  So I ordered maps.  A US map and a world map.  We wanted them in the office, but they wouldn't fit due to the crown molding.  They are actually fun in Hayden's room.  He loves them and it helps us to learn the states!  Hayden's lamp is also one of my favorite parts of his room.  It has cars, boats, and planes on it. 

Hayden loves his big boy bed.  Neither one of my kids had a hard time transitioning to big beds.  However this captains bed may not have been the smartest idea.  It is so tall.  But it works.  The gentleman's chest was Gary's when he was a kid.  It makes me so happy that we are passing down furniture from our childhood(s). 

And don't you just love how predictable we are with the paint.  Blue for boy, pink for girl...haha!!
