It’s been three years and three months since we moved into this house and the boy’s bedrooms are still not done, they look like they were inspired by a no frills orphanage. Victoria’s room was done within weeks of moving in and she loves it (except for the paint color I forced her to choose…). So I am trying to find some inspiration online but can’t seem to come up with much.  I know that I want some framed vintage posters from Canadian Pacific, like this:

And I know the white Ikea beds and dressers are staying, but that’s all I know.  The boys have asked for their rooms to be painted red and blue, but commiting to a paint color so bold is way too difficult for me so we’ll have to see about that.  Here’s what the boy’s room’s look like now;

As you can see, the baseboards have been removed so that we could spray foam/insulate to stop the cold air from coming in. We  need to paint before we put up new baseboards (like we did downstairs!!!). Hopefully I will have some after shots soon.
