Bedroom Reno Part 1 – Camping Out!

The time has come to tackle our bedroom and get it up to date with the rest of our house.   It has been a long time coming!  We’ve been living in this flat for about 8 years and we’ve not done a single thing to it since we moved in.   When we bought the flat (we rented for about the first 5 years), we had to put things in order of priority and the bedroom came 2nd to last, just before the spare bedroom.

This weekend we cleared out the bedroom to clean it and get it ready to paint.  That meant finding a place for the bed and everything else.

So we are camping out in our living room!  It’s so cozy!

Each night we crawl into bed and watch some TV and I know we are both wishing we could just keep our house like this forever.  A bed in the middle of the living room that we can lounge on whenever we want.   We chatted about it and laughed as we came up with ideas about how we could turn this room into our living/bedroom and make our bedroom one big hobby room.   Visions of this unbelievable craft room danced in my head…  aaah someday!

The kids are enjoying it as well.  Even more than Xander and I, I think!

All day they jump and play and lounge around on the bed.  Each taking their separate corners when nap time rolls around.   They live like kings!! … oh err, and one little princess.

Am I the only one who finds it a little funny that the cat is the biggest one of them all?  Fat bastard.

Anyhow, the painting has begun and I will be around with photos soon… but for now I’m going to crawl into bed and fall asleep in front of our new TV.

Goedenavond!
