A Room for Two...

So, now that we're in and unpacked, we took a trip to our local "Ikea" called Fly.  


We were looking for furniture for the kid's room, bunk beds and such.  Now, I'm not a huge fan of the bunk bed since I heard that a large percent of emergency room visits for kids are from falling off the top bunk.  T has lost enough teeth thank you very much.  But in France, even down here, space is limited.  And they fell in love with the tent spaces.


So here is our adventure in pics...

They were huge fans of the tent style bedding...

Hmmm, but who gets to sleep on this bed?  Emm was putting her bid in on this one.

T zeroed in on his bed choice...

Emm's new boyfriend...

Seriously!!  I know smoking is big, but does one REALLY need an ashtray this big??


I really wanted to go to my favorite Ikea and get what I wanted, but the nearest one is two hours away.  So....


We ended up getting a bed like the pink one with tented space underneath from another company called Conforama, again like Ikea, but have to wait weeks for it to come in.  Didn't go for the ashtray, much to Emm's dismay, but did go with a little table and chairs (colored ones rather than the dull wood tone) for them to play with play dough and do art on.  


The room is coming together and they're having fun with each other playing in there.  That's about all I can ask for really!  Here is a pick of the before and after so far....

We're getting there...

I just love the monster blankets!  To be continued.....
