Where is Matthew going to sleep??

Oh yes, it's that time; nesting time of course!  As it gets closer and closer to our LOA and actual travel, I find myself organizing, purging and rearranging.  

This weekend Dave and I fretted and debated over where our sweet boy was going to sleep when he came home.  

It's not that we don't have enough bedrooms; we have the Tinkerbell room for Analiese, the "Tween" room for Sarah and the "Sweet, feminine" room for Grace.  Oh and let's not forget the LARGEST of them all--THE PLAYROOM.

We discussed moving Analiese into Grace's room, but I was reluctant to put up the bunk beds as the ceiling fan would be oh-so-close to whomever slept on top!

We discussed bringing up the queen bed from the basement bedroom but then realized that opening the drawers on the dresser would be very difficult with such a large bed in the room.

I even called my friend, Beth, to inquire whether she still had the 
toddler bed she purchased from us (we originally bought it for Grace who refused to use it for anything more than a doll bed).  We thought we could put the baby bed in with Grace--but quickly nixed that idea!

We also discussed re-doing the Tinkerbell room for Matthew, putting up the bunk beds, and having Analiese share with him. I really didn't like that idea as I felt poor Analiese would not have anything of her own!

Such a dilemma we faced.  Until 
Dave had a FABULOUS idea!  His suggestion?  Why not put two of the girls into the LARGE playroom and move the playroom into Grace's room.  Oh, yes!!!  The only drawback is that we never intended for that room to be a bedroom and did not have a closet put in.  Well, we did some research and we can get some wardrobes at IKEA (for flexibility) and the girls can have a great room!  

When we presented the girls with the idea, Sarah and Grace immediately said they wanted to share and began planning their room!  

I set out to move around Analiese's room, put on her new comforter and now that room is DONE!

Poor Dave, he just re-did Sarah's room for her birthday LAST year!  He doesn't seem to mind....I chose the paint for Matthew's room.  We actually are going to paint it a medium shade of gray with 2 deep blue stripes going around the walls to break it up.  We can then bring in anything that Matthew wants---red accents will look great!

Today Dave just finished painting the living room while we wait for the hardwood floors to be put in (we pulled up the carpet--very LONG story).  We are making that room an office as we never used the living room!  So, one room just about done...then we'll have Matthew's room, the bathroom, the girl's room, finish the...
