Corey & Kyle's Room


We decided the boys' room need a bit of a makeover. I saw this color scheme on a quilting blog I follow and loved it. I would have never thought I would like grey walls but I do! For now the walls are kind of bare - they need a little more something but I'm just happy they're clean. The room they're in used to be ours so I had painted with a flat paint...not good for kids. I've seen every finger print and smudge for the last few months. So much so that I went overboard the other way and used semi-gloss which we would normally only put in a bathroom or kitchen but seemed the easiest maintenance option for our boys. They stayed the night with grandma last weekend so I got up at six on Saturday morning and CLEANED out their room...six "banker boxes" of toys out of the room. AND they still have plenty! We're planning on rotating them but to be honest I don't think they even miss them and other than making the beds their room hasn't needed to be cleaned since. I think we'll do our first toy rotation on a really rainy day so that it'll give them something new to do inside. So far we've been blessed with BEAUTIFUL weather and have enjoyed long days outside!

Let me know how toy rotation goes. We put ours away every time we move but then I decide they don't miss them anyway. Cute Room!
