You know those beautiful end-of-summer days when you should be outside?  Or those Saturdays when you have a lot of work you actually need to get done because the class you are teaching starts in 2 days?  Or how about those days when your kids just play and don't fight and you're able to get a lot done, so really you should be productive?

Yeah, today could have been and should have been any of those listed days.  But, guess what?  I planned and then created a mood board for the boys' room instead!  Go me.  Yeah, I'm practically still in my pajamas and it's 3 PM.  I guess I should feel guilty for wasting the day, and I'm sure tonight when I actually have to work I will be annoyed, but hey--I have been really itching to get the boys room all figured out and I had fun, so what the hell.

My goal is to get this together the month of September.  Leland will turn 3 around then, and it seems like a perfect surprise to get him out of his crib and into a big boy bed.  This room requires a bunch of big item purchases like a mattress and bunk bed and rug and arm chair, but hopefully the rest I can keep to a minimum.  Some of the items I already actually have, so that should help.

Overall, I want this room to be practical and functional.  I'd like it to be cute, but without the extra frills that can drive me crazy--throw pillows, I'm talking to you!  OK, you're right.  There actually might be one throw pillow thrown in the mix, but that is it!!  ;)
