Room Redos!

We decided it was time for a change! Both kids are older, and Alex has far better interests than the moon and stars theme we did for his nursery! It was also time to make the dreaded switch from crib to bed. Aurora is no longer a pink and purple girl (I'm not sure she ever was) and was ready for a new bed. So we set about redecorating their rooms!

For Alex, I decided to do a transporation theme because he is so into cars, trucks, airplanes, and 'choo choo trains'. To save money, we decided to give him his sister's twin bed. I picked out the bedding first and then matched everything with it. I found some great deals on accessories and such! We finally setup the bed on Friday and I was so nervous! I don't like the idea of them being able to wander the house at night! But he has done great! Slept great every night and has not gotten out of bed once. Here are the before and after pictures of his room:

Aurora decided she wanted to do a space theme. She has been into science and astronomy, just like her daddy, for a long time. She even has her own telescope and will be attending the White Sands Star Party in September. She also wanted a bunk bed. We settled on a bunk over futon so she could lounge when she wanted too. Daddy also got her a remote control moon that lights up in the cycles. The wall decor is still incomplete, as he is working on mapping out the entire sky in her room! Here are the before and after:
