What is the best situation for my children sharing a room?

kids bedroom curtain ideas image

Leslie W

I am due with our 3rd child in Feb. I have a 4 year old boy and an 18 month old daughter (we do not yet know the sex of the new baby). We only have 3 bedrooms, so someone has to share. Here is the scoop. My 4 year old is a sound sleeper, my 18 month old is a very light sleeper. My choice would be to have the baby share the romm with the 18 month old, as to not disrupt the feelings of the 4 year old, since he will be emotionally dealing with a new baby anyways, and we don't want him to feel like he is being uprooted. I guess the other choice is for the two older two to share as well. My husband doesn't want us to share our room either since we had both our kids sleeping through the night at 7 weeks in their own cribs, he feel like we should stick with the way we have done it (child in their room in their crib). Help with any ideas is appreciated:) thanks!!!

Is there any other room that could be utilized for a bedroom, such as basement, family room, extra large walk-in closet for a baby room,dining room? The two younger rooms would create a problem...no sleep for the parents...since the 18 month old is a light sleeper. Both of them will be up in the middle of the night crying at the same time. It would be the best to make the move for the little ones now so it will be easier when the new baby comes in, they will be adjusted to their sleeping quarters. This will eliminate two new adjustments at the same time, new baby and new sleeping arrangements! Children thrive under routine. Just make sure the older one feels he has his OWN personal space, even if you have to have his room divided w/a curtain, or masking tape. This will make him think that he hasn't lost all his privacy. Try to think outside the box, I'm sure that you'll find a terrific solution. Its great that you are planning ahead, this is definitely an advantage! Best wishes!

What are the trends for paint colors for a new home?

I am building a new house and need help picking colors. The only thing I am decided on is our bedroom will be a dark gray my husband work nights so we need something to make the room darker. I am at a loss on the rest of the house I am seeing alot of tans but I don't think I really want tan. What are the alternatives? Does the whole house need to blend? It is 2 story kids rooms upstairs. Please help.

Answer
Get to the Painting Dept. in either Lowe's or Home Depot. They can so u many selections. I am not sure why u must paint your bedroom dark b/c your husband works at night. U can have heavy curtains, with blinds to block out the sun for him to sleep. Of course u don't have to paint the room white but u have many dark colors in any family group. Still no direction look at design shows on HG TV. Get on line to the websites also. They can help. Get magazines like Woman's Day or Design Mags that have pic on different rooms in the house. U go with what u like. Its no use to get a white kitchen if u don't feel it no matter what the trend is. (White kitchens is not the trend but u get the idea). Make your house a home for u and your fam. Good luck and congrats on the new home.
