We’ve been busy this week!
With Stewart doing all college work next year and keeping a more independent schedule, it was time to get Stewart and Nigel each into their own rooms. 

For the last year or so, Johanna and Katriel have been sharing one of the smaller rooms, and the boys have been sharing a larger, front room.  We’ve been using the other small room as a kind of computer/work room.

We moved each of the boys into one of the smaller rooms and moved Johanna and Katriel into the boys’ old room.

It is so much easier to type that than actually do it. 

It also involved much painting.

I know some folks take before and after photos.  For me there is never a true before (why clean up a room for a photo if you are dismantling it?) and never a true after (is it ever really done?).

For the girls’ new room Hanny picked a purple.

And Katriel picked a yellow.

At one point Tab lay under the bed and read to me, but I can’t find that photo. 

From here I painted Nigel’s room a dark orange on two walls and a dark navy on the other two.  I can’t find those photos either.

I may or may not have mentioned before how my friend Diane introduced me to Pinterest.
I’m having the best fun on there.
With in a week of her “pinning” these shelves to her board, we had them in our bedroom.
