We've done some major moving of furniture in the past few days, right after our cousins left. We bought a new bunk bed and a crib for Rosemary, and switched around all the beds. The queen bed which was in Gloria's and my room we moved down to the guest room in the basement. We moved all the other furniture out of that room and put in two sets of bunk beds. That is now the girls' 'dormitory'. The bottom bunk of one set of bunk beds is empty until Rosemary is big enough to sleep there. Well, it's not exactly empty... in the meantime there are a couple hundred of Cecily's and Gloria's dolls and stuffed animals. Don't ask me where they'll put them all when Rosemary starts sleeping alone. :D
Top: Cecily
Bottom: Rosemary... right now, stuffed animals and dolls
Top: Sylvia
Bottom: Gloria (the cute little monkey)
In the 'fishbowl' room which used to be Cecily's and Bjorn's, we put the other bunk bed and one of our old twin beds which was in storage. That is now the boys' 'dormitory'.
This is actually quite a big room! It didn't seem like it with the big bunk bed right in the middle.
Top: Thor (who is very pleased about that)
Bottom: Bjorn
Compare this picture to this other picture when this desk was Cecily's. Boys' minds and girls' minds tend to be rather different when it comes to what they want on their desks! :)
As for the room which used to be Knut's and Thor's, it is now a lovely sitting/dressing room for the girls with our dressers, Cecily's desk (which used to be mine), a bookshelf, and our instruments and music stand.
Our 'wanted' wall with Christmas 'wanted' lists, pretend 'wanted' posters for criminals, and advertising posters for help with homework or buying old toys or whatever. This wall is in the girls' sitting room, just because that's where we found a single wall without a window in it or furniture against it. The boys can put things on as long as it's approved by Cecily or me.
Cecily wants a swivel chair for Christmas... in the meantime she'll pretend
Cecily gets my desk because it's too big and heavy to bring up to my new office!!! Yes, I (hallelujah) have my own little office in the attic loft! It's unfinished, with plywood floor and just the paper cover of the insulation for the sloped ceiling, and the big air conditioner unit is at one end, but do I care? In a way I'm glad that it's so unfinished because that means I don't have to worry about scratching the floor or staining the walls! :) We also use this office for a CCC meeting room, and had a meeting in it today! I haven't finished moving up furniture and rugs and 'beautifying' it, but here is what it looks like right now (with the chairs from the meeting still up there):
