We’ve been debating whether or not we want our boys to share a bedroom since the day we moved from SLC into our town home. They have ALWAYS shared a room.
Jonah is 8 + getting to the point where he wants his own space to keep his things. Especially his own underwear + socks. At this point he’s got his own room. My gut is telling me they’ll all end up in the same room come bed time either way though.
The younger boys we still haven’t decided? I’d love to hear your experience with kids sharing a room vs not?
We did build a room for Rigg + Jack so that now or in the future they would have the option of having their own. If we decide to have them share now, we’ll turn the other room into an office. We put a play space “fort” above the jack + jill bathroom to their rooms. It will have a ladder + give them space to be together in creativity.
The vision for the boys room will align with our modern aesthetic + will include touches of their personalities throughout. Our designer Elizabeth Hales sent over a questionnaire for each of the boys (how fun is that?!) as part of the digital design. She’s taken the time to learn their interests + capitalizing on their quirky persoality traits in this design. Their spaces have been very intentionally thought through.
- Jonah’s Room Wishlist : desk | basketball hoop | own underwear drawer
- Rigg’s Room Wishlist : a place to do projects + build legos | climb to the playhouse from his room
- Jack’s Room Wishlist : he just wants his “stuffies” (stuffed animals) to come with us to our new home + a big boy bed.
Visiting #theparrishplace has been our escape during quarantine. We are currently stopped with Steel beams. Once the beams get here we can finish framing. Nate said we’d be about 3 months out once framing is complete. Praise be. Come follow along on IG to see alll the updates. I’d love for you to join the convo on room sharing, if you have any insights of your own!
