As a mom, you have to be ready for the tasks involved in two kids sharing a room, especially when you’re dealing with two young boys with little age difference between them. They can get really messy, most of the time you find the laundry and toys scattered all over the place.
Toys on the floor or on the bed, books, both for drawing and reading scattered in more places than one, a poorly arranged closet, the list goes on and on. Yeah, we know the feeling, that’s stress right there.
Another issue could arise when a new building is set up right beside the boys’ rooms and ruins the view they once enjoyed, their windows could even get damaged during the building and hammering process. With all these in place, there could be only one thing in your mind, and we all agree, it’s time for a renovation.
Luckily for me, I had a friend, Tara, and along with her husband, we were able to turn the messy slump of a boys’ room to a beautiful Oasis of walls and rugs. The space I never knew the room had was a shock (guess we should throw out old toys more often). The walls were even repainted to give it that new room feeling, even though it’s a better version of the old one.
The budget was pocket friendly; the work took only a few weeks and it was also satisfying to have an excuse to clear out old stuffs.
The boys will definitely be happy with the room makeover, and with so much room plus everything in perfect order, they will be hit with a sense of responsibility to keep it that way. Well, at least that’s what we hope, after all, kids will always be kids.
