The Boy’s Room Needs a Makeover

This entry is part 6 of 15 in the series Parenting Teens

My sons are now 14 and 16 and starting 10th and 12th grade. They share a small 10×10′ bedroom and let me tell you it is tight in there. The last time we overhauled their bedroom was in April of 2004. It was actually a lot of fun. The boys went away on a 3 day camping trip with Royal Rangers and hubby and I did a “While You Were Out” makeover. We painted the walls and even built bunk beds. Yes, I did say built, I found plans for super sturdy bunk beds online, downloaded the plans and built the bed. The room has a NASCAR theme.

Here are some “then” photos:

Now fast forward 5 years and my boys look like this:

When I heard that Walmart is working with Dr Mommy, Military_Mom,CraftyMamaof4,OrganizewithSandy and others to give away $500 Walmart gift cards to be used on Walmart’s Your Zone teen products I knew we needed to enter this contest. I gave my Creative Vado HD to my 16yo videographer and told him to make the video portion of our entry. Here is what he did.
Jordan is all about anything with orange in it so this is the comforter set he has chosen for the top bunk.
Aaron is less picky and just wants a “teen” room so he has chosen this comforter. I like how everything coordinates!
