Ethan’s New Room

Ethan’s room is finally almost done! I feel so much better knowing he has a space to call his own, a bed to call his own, a home for his clothes and toys and crafts, and additionally a playroom in which his environment can be conducive to homeschooling/unschooling for “pre-k” next year.

Moving him from an 13′ x 15.5′ room to a 10′ x 10′ room presented many challenges, but finally we scored a loft bed set on craigslist that came with everything we needed, including a small dresser, desk w/ hutch, and even a toddler bed to put under it for the “someday” when Verity joins him. At first he was a bit timid about climbing up and down the bed, but within hours he was a total monkey about it and loves his new pad.

I still have some hopes to make some window curtains with some fabric I bought him, as well as some organizing and tweaking to do with his art desk area, but by and large we have made TONS of progress. (This was a goal of mine before I go into labor, so it feels great to be this far along!)

SEE!
