Big Kid Beds!

About a month ago we transitioned the twins into big kid beds!  When decorating the rooms in our new house I had planned for them to sleep in their own rooms.  They have yet to spend a night apart! Ellie would much rather sleep in Grahams room in a blue bed than sleep alone in her room.  They have done great with this transition.  No one gets out of bed and they still nap....those were my main concerns for sure!  Graham actually sleeps longer at nap time in his bed, but he has gotten in trouble a few times for opening up the window blinds haha!  Other than the windows I can't complain!

 It was fun to be able to do a girl room and a boy room because up until now they had a gender neutral room.  I let him help decorate too.  He insisted giraffe still sleep in his room so I used somewhat of an animal theme in his room.

The beds were new, but a dark wood color so I had someone paint them along with the wooden safety rails.  

I am not a fan of the cheap mesh railings out there and love the way the wooden ones turned out. 

 I even switched out the closet knobs for these cute elephant ones I found at Anthropologie.

 I bought this unique shelf to go above his dresser.  It was a beast to hang, but worth it!

 Although this is Grahams big boy room, I still included some of his baby items.

 The twins love their pillows and blankets and think that they are so cool every night when we put them to bed.  They still stay up for 20 minutes chatting, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

I will blog about Ellie's room later...Ill give you a hint...it is purple!  That girl loves the color purple!!
