I’m getting ready to do a little tweaking in our kid’s shared room so I thought I’d show what it looks like now, before it changes. Our kiddos have shared a room since forever. Even though we’ve had the space to put them in separate rooms, I love the benefits of shared rooms, especially in the younger years. Built in night time buddy! It makes bedtime so much easier for our family. And, bonus, all their toys are in one easy spot. The only downside is that they occasionally wake each other up during the night. I’m OK with that, but I know not all parents are. I imagine that our oldest will be requesting their own room in the next few years, but for now they show no signs of wanting to split up.

When we started having kids, it felt like there was NO modern leaning affordable children’s furniture. I really wanted the Netto changing table but I’d never spend $1700 on a piece of furniture, let alone for babies, let alone for a piece that will literally be pissed on. So my husband hacked this one up and then built a matching toy shelf, below, to go with it. As I’d hoped, this furniture has grown with us through the years and seen so much use. But though this changing table doubles as a rad little toy shelf, we have officially entered the done with diapering phase of our life (HOORAY) and are in need of a dresser to store their growing clothes. I have an extra dresser that will be making it’s way in here, just as soon as I can whittle down the toy collection.

        

We found these matching bed frames on Craigslist after a very long search. I love, love, love the idea of vintage matching twin beds. I was hoping for a set of vintage Broyhill Brasilia frames, and will gladly upgrade if I come across them for the right price, but these are great for now.
