I love looking at floorplans and thinking about my ideal "forever" home, and for a while I thought we would need a minimum of five bedrooms since we want to have four children (we have two right now). Lately I've been thinking, however, that keeping bedrooms minimal in both size and number would be better (and free up more "living" space). Already I've had to take steps to make my 3-year-old daughter's room basically a sleep-only space so she isn't distracted by toys or books at naptime. So why not just put beds in bedrooms and have toys and reading areas in more open areas of the house? Good food for thought.

We have 2 girls one is 7 one is 4, I have a constant battle with tidyness! We have brought them up to tidy up after themselves but it never works out that way. Call me cynical however, I feel that these are typical "magazine" photos and will NEVER work! Lovely photos for a dream, not reality!

They are greatly appreciated. I've seen all of the storie about same gender room sharing, but I haven't seen anything about boy/girl sharing. I have one boy and one girl 5 and 7 they are only one grade apart in school. We are trying for our third and we love our home but it is only a 3 bd. Does anyone have any decorating suggestions or opinions about boy/girl sharing? My logic is babies have so much stuff and I don't want the baby waking up to affect the children's sleeping so I think that it would be easier to put them in a room and make my daughter's room the nursery. Thank You for any advice my family (mother/sister) thinks we should just move into a bigger home, but it just isn't an option right now. I have enjoyed all of the stories and ideas.
