And the winner is...(aka Big Boy's Bedrom Part 2)

After careful consideration and a brief FB survey....the Diddle gets....

Wood!!!  A lovely handscraped laminate that we found on sale at Lumber Liquidators that, coincidentally, matches (nearly exactly) the existing hard wood in the rest of the house. Woot Woot!  First of all, laminate certainly has come a long way.  The Teacher and I installed laminate in our first place together (a really long time ago)....and let me tell you, the stuff that is available now is incredible!!  Handscraped??  You can hardly tell its laminate!! L.O.V.E!!!  

Incidentally, you know that thing where when you make one room look nice the other rooms in your home look comparably lousy??  Thank God we bought enough wood for both boy's rooms because now that we put in the new floor in the Diddle's room, the Nugget's room ..or at least his flooring (which has also been redecorated recently sans flooring) looks horrible!!  It's a slippery slope!!

Here are some shots of the finished floor:

Here's the TO DO list:

Paint
Flooring
New Bed with storage and extra sleeping space (wait till you see this!!)
Study Space
Book/Toy Storage
Night Stand/Beside the Bed Storage?
Closet
Artwork

Loving the transformations so far...and more importantly?? So is he!!

On a completely unrelated side note, I'm going to a Thai cooking class with a girlfriend on Thursday...and I'll totally share the recipes!!!  

Thanks for stopping by!
