New Room Part 1

Our upstairs is a huge open room. When we first moved in it was our "master bedroom" then Dylan came along and we moved downstairs and this became a play room! Usually it is just a big mess of way too many toys! With little Miss Saylor on her way we need another bedroom. Our plan at first was to make this 2 bedrooms--one for each! Then we decided to make one bedroom and the other half would still be a playroom/family room. Over the weekend Seth and his dad started part 1 of the new room.
Our plan is for Dylan to be up here in a new Lightning McQueen room. And if you know me well, you know that is a big stretch for me...I don't like characters themed things! But Dylan loves Cars right now and he already has a blue race car bed. I figure we can get some Lightning McQueen stuff and call it good! If that doesn't work then Seth and I will be up there!! No Lightning McQueen for us though!
The are that Seth is standing in is the new bedroom. The Big opening will be the doorway (they still have to finish the sides were the walls are slanted). There is a large window and the little door is a closet. Whoever ends up here will have the biggest room and the biggest closet! This is the stair way leading upstairs and it will open up to the playroom!
This side will be the playroom area. Still a big area for all of the big toys and our futon. Hopefully next weekend the rest of the wall can go up and Seth can work on electrical stuff. He is putting in some new can lights, new light switches and new fire alarms that will be wired with the ones downstairs. After that drywall and then figuring out who will be where! Once the drywall is up and it looks like a real wall we are going to test Dylan out. We will bring his bed up and have him try it out for a few nights! We will see how it goes.
