Downstairs bedroom

It's hard to tell from this picture, but this is the room that is now Brayden and Caleb's room.  When we moved into this house, it had all the previous owner's stuff (this was his vacation home).  We moved all his stuff into this room until he could come down and look through it to see what he wanted.  
It turned out he only wanted three things.


Todd framed the room and closet, and even though we said we'd never do it again, we did the drywall ourselves because we couldn't afford to pay someone to do it.

I never finished decorating their "science" room.  I started making throw quilts for the end of their beds that had navy, orange, lime green and white stripes.  They were also supposed to get coordinating throw pillows, tin can robots, and their own artwork framed on the wall.


My dad came up with the idea for the corner closet, and it allowed us room for a built-in computer desk (there is no internet access in this room--the computer is for typing practice and CD-ROM games only).  We used vinyl rain gutters for the book shelves on the right.  I made the clock into a giant magnifying glass and printed some "real looking" bugs to crawl across the face.
