Mom Confessions
Anyone have a boy and girl sharing a room?
We plan on buying or building a new house closer to home within the next 6-12 months. When that time comes, all 3 kids will have their own rooms again.
In the meantime, I am going to take over one of their bedrooms and turn it into a work out room. Our gym equipment is currently spread put throughout the house (bench, weights, elliptical, etc.).
One thing is for sure: we are getting them bunk beds! Our daughter is 7 and our son is 5. They are attached at the hip and get along fabulously. So this will be a welcomed transition.
My problem.. I want to make the bedroom comfortable and fun. I want them BOTH to love it and feel like it's "their room". What are some things I can to do make it boyish and girly?
Looking for some cute ideas for storage, personal space, etc.
Thanks :)
Just to answer a few questions:
I live in Canada. We don`t have CPS. We have CAS and it`s not illegal for boys and girls to share a bedroom.
Also, our kids aren`t being forced to share a room. They WANT to. They have been bugging us for bunk beds for ages. So, putting them together in a room is only spoiling them. LOL
And HERE is what I think we might build (or buy)! We are thinking it would be better to build something we can take with us.

Really, you need a whole room for gym equipment but you are making your children share a room? PARENT FAIL.
