2009...Here We Come

Since I left so many items un-done on my "34 before 35 list", I'm working on morphing it into a 2009 "to do/resolutions" list. (In my defense I did start the list just a couple of months before my birthday, and I have a hunch that this was something designed to take place over a full 12 months...)

A twist I'm making to the list is to add a few projects that Bryan and I plan to tackle together next year. One of them is to design (together) and build (him) a sort of bunk bed/sleeping fort for the girls and then convert (together) their individual bedrooms into a single sleeping space and a single play space. Right now, we're totally digging that structure above from a 70's decorating book found on apartment therapy.

Also...how cool is this amazing play structure (via ohdeedoh)


I'll try and post the full updated 2009 to do/"resolution" list later this week...

In the meantime, what are some of your goals for the upcoming year?

I LOVE the idea of combining the girls' room. My friend's girls share a room and playspace...I think it's so great.

I'm working on my resolutions as we speak. There are many...yikes. There's a fine line between being amibitious and setting yourself up for failure! So, I'm picking and choosing carefully :)

I LOVE that 70's sleeping structure! Much cooler looking than traditional bunk beds. I'm thinking of having my girls share a room when they are a bit older as well.

As for my resolutions, I am also still chipping away at my "27 before 28" list. Another thing I like to do is have a central theme for the entire year, and this year's is "Simplicity".

i love this idea. if only my kiddos weren't of opposite sex. as for me i am hoping to make the master somewhere i actually like to be, finish my garden, and tile the kitchen backsplash. my fingers are crossed.

When I was a kid & always wished that I could have a sister to share a room with. Bunk beds are a 'must'. They are so much fun!

My resolutions this year are to bring back some of my old self, which has slowly been whittled away with marriage & motherhood, and to get busy doing the stuff I love again. (posted here: http://pinsandneedleshandmade.blogspot.com/2009/01/newness-ends.html)

ps. Love seeing those old 70s rooms!
