Charlie's bedroom

We do live in the 'hood, which normally might be taken as a negative. But when our landlord doesn't care what we do with the place because it's so old and forgotten, I get excited. It means I can do whatever I want with it. So this is Charlie's new "big boy bed" and in the corner is his crib ready for the new baby. Since the room is only 9 feet by nine feet, it leaves just 2 feet 8 inches between the two beds. Charlie and his brother will be very close friends. And on the crib, you'll see a bowl. This was there to catch water that had been leaking from the ceiling for the past few months. They FINALLY fixed it last week, so I felt like I could officially decorate a room for the boys. Here's the before. And here's the after.
Ahhh, so much more peaceful. I feel like the baby can come now.
