I am FINALLY getting around to posting pics of Austin's room. Yes, he is spoiled, he also had his own bathroom. What better way to get an 11 year old to take responsibility for cleaning up after himself!! The bathroom has a closet in it which is where he keeps his clothes. It has a really nice organizer so it seems to hold everything for now without needing an extra dresser. This was my biggest project I wanted to finish before Adah was born. I thought it turned out really well. We also had the flooring redone in the entire basement (new carpet and linoleum) so I was struggling to get everything painted before that was put in. His bathroom is camouflage theme and his bedroom...obviously Hawkeyes! You can see in the upper left corner picture the bathroom accessories I hand painted...there was no way I was paying what stores were asking for camouflage stuff so I just did it myself! Plus they are more personal that way! I love a decorated room. I think it is a great way to let your kids express themselves. He hasn't had a decorated room since he was really little when we lived with mom and dad. He stood by and watched me decorate what used to be Kezzie's room (it's now Adah's) before she was born while he still had white walls...boo hoo! And then got frustrated again when I decorated Keziah's new big girl room. He knew he was next though! I thought this was going to be a huge adjustment for him since it is the basement and since the closet in his room houses the furnace and water softener, but he has done really well and actually either of them rarely wake him in the night when they run. Even though I love these two rooms and love the way they look, I still try to stay away since they are less than often very clean! Typical boy!
