-Sharing Spaces- {the Girls' Room}

Did you ever watch the TLC show 'Trading Spaces'? I was obsessed with it. Obsessed I tell you.
Brandon and I were dating then and it would come on on the weekends and I was all about staying home with rice crispy treats and Trading Spaces. Talk about a cheap date.
I wanted Vern to come decorate my house one day and I wanted to be BFF with Genevieve.
Now that I think about it, not much has changed. I would much rather stay in on the weekends with a few episodes of House Hunters, Brandon by my side and Ben & Jerrys in my hand.

This all has absolutely nothing to do with the post except that when I wrote the title, I thought of the show.

So, a few months back I decided it was time to combine the girls together into one room. Mia was ready to transition from a crib to a big girl bed, her room is pretty large, and we needed a space to use as an office for Brandon now that he works from home. It just made sense to move Bella out of her room and into Mia's.

I was a tiny bit nervous about how they would do together. Bella is majorly independent. And even more so, she loves her sleep. Mia is a free spirit and would have an all night dance party in her room if Bella let her. Fortunately she doesn't. Girl means business when it comes to her sleep, so it has worked out really well.

Even if we had the extra space to keep them separate I'm not so sure we would. I shared a room with my sisters growing up so it just feels right to have them sharing. My favorite thing is to walk in on them playing some made up game or setting up houses for their Barbies. Takes me right back to the days I was doing the same with my sisters.

The main thing I tried to do was keep it fun and of course girly. I also wanted to do little things here and there to differentiate the two girls in some way. I came up with the idea of the monogram letter over each of the beds and then went from there.

Most of the prints and hoop art in their room are from Blossom & Vine. 

Comforters, Rug, Cubby Shelves and Dress Up Bar from Target

Large White frames over the beds are from IKEA

The girls have loved sharing a room and I love that they are together. I am sure when they get older, we will reevaluate, but for now its working for us.
