the bedrooms

So, I wanted to share the bedrooms before we move on. 
As you can see, the girls room is a bright purple. . . which we are all tired of :)
I painted the dresser along with the play kitchen hutch. . . 
stenciled the flowers on the wall, shelves, and dresser.
Also made the happy quilts on the bunk beds.
We purchased Whit's child bed off of Craig's list this past year. 
It has been a tight squeeze, but it has worked. 
The boys' bunk set was bought from our neighbors.
The red dresser, picture, and retro train were all from dad's childhood. 
The airplane quilts were bought from a dear friend who moved,
and the retro border was found at Target. 
The curtains were found at my favorite thrift store along with 
the darling pottery barn chairs. 
I painted the dresser and shelf, and made the photo board. . . 
We finally broke down a couple of years ago and purchased a king bed.
Never thought I would love it so very much! It was bought at Ikea along 
with the black bookshelf.  Makes all those nights with children 
coming in to sleep with us so much more bearable :) 
Found the pastor's roll-top desk off of Craig's list.
The antique chest is from my family, and the
oak, antique Singer sewing machine was given to me by a friend at church. 
We have definitely made three bedrooms for seven people work,
but O how excited and thankful we are to have a little more space
to look forward to!!  Ellie is thrilled about her own bedroom. 
(and I am thrilled about my own, big bathtub!!)
I really think it is going to do all the girls good to be spread out a little more. . .

  1. Anna, great pictures of your little Tobiasson house! They are so sweet and cozeeeeeey, and I am sure you are looking forward to more space. It will be a bit too open at first but I know you will make your new home just as special! Praying for you all these last couple of weeks. Know you are loved dearly! nw/mom

  2. There is a lot of love that went into each one of those rooms. I love the girls quilts. Were the curtains from Amvets. I need to make a trip up there. I went to the one downtown one week after the zoo. Madness. I will not do that again. Its not as organized as the one in Escondido.
