Hi friends, welcome. Today we're going
0:02
to be making over the kids' bedroom or
0:04
maybe over the course of a couple of
0:05
days because one, it's Saturday and it's
0:07
sweetest day. So, I don't want to spend
0:09
a ton of time just doing things around
0:10
the house. I want to take my husband out
0:12
and treat him to something because
0:13
that's how we do it. I get Valentine's
0:15
Day, he gets Sweetest Day. It's been a
0:17
really fun thing for us for the past 15
0:19
years. So, that's what we're going to be
0:21
doing later. But first, I'm going to see
0:22
how much progress I can make for the
0:24
kids' room. I just put together their
0:25
new little toy box. It's pretty simple.
0:27
I'll show it to you guys. And now I want
0:29
to just get started on their bed. It's
0:31
going to be cool. It's going to be
0:32
really exciting because Noah has never
0:34
had a bunk bed before. At our home back
0:37
in Michigan, he has a queen-siz bed and
0:40
he has had that bed since he was 3 years
0:42
old and before that a crib. So Naa the
0:46
same. She has a crib at home and then
0:48
the queensiz bed that she would move
0:51
into when she gets three or four. But
0:53
the kids are going to be sharing a bunk
0:55
bed. I just finished getting everything
0:57
laid out. Making sure I got all of the
0:59
parts here. It's a lot of parts and I'm
1:01
starting to wonder what I got myself
1:03
into. Luckily, it's less parts than when
1:06
I assembled the kids playground thingy,
1:10
but it's still a lot. Um, let me show
1:13
you. See there? I was hoping I could
1:18
get this on quickly. I don't know. Let's
1:20
look at the drill and just see how this
1:22
goes. It's 2 o'clock, so I'm gonna give
1:25
myself an hour today to work on this.
1:28
And there are
1:38
nine steps. So,
1:42
let's see how many parts are in here.
1:44
So, even if there are a lot of parts, a
1:46
lot of times the hardware can tell you
1:50
just how difficult it is because
1:51
sometimes a lot of it is just wooden
1:52
dowels and sometimes you might open it
1:54
up and you got like a 100 screws. So,
1:57
that's Yeah, this isn't bad.
2:01
Oh, let me show you guys the hardware.
2:04
It could be
2:06
it could be worse. Like we got lots of
2:08
wood in the house. So, when you got a
2:11
lot of holes sometimes it can be
2:12
discouraging. And then when you see this
2:14
jumbo and tomorrow with a dollar mean
2:17
you know oh it's not so bad and we got
2:19
but these here but these are it's not
2:23
that bad. Okay so
2:28
let's do this.
2:56
He
3:02
behind
3:04
you.
3:07
Heat. Heat.
4:23
It's going to be my sweetest day.
4:28
You go up and get a girlfriend or a
4:30
wife.
4:32
I do got a girlfriend. But with mommy.
4:41
Yeah, she's my girlfriend.
4:48
She's lovely.
4:50
She love you.
4:52
Say she's lovely.
4:53
She's lovely.
4:55
Yeah,
4:55
she is lovely. I love her 100%.
5:00
Oh yeah. What about that girl from
5:02
Hollywood Studios?
5:06
The girl you said you love? You can't be
5:08
trying to love two girls.
5:12
How do you think Leilani would like
5:13
that? Leani can like that either.
5:20
What do you think?
5:22
I want both of them.
5:25
You don't know nothing.
5:28
I still
5:30
How do you love her? You don't know her.
5:32
You never even had a conversation with
5:34
her.
5:36
I still do.
5:39
Do you think Lonnie like that you trying
5:41
to love another girl?
5:44
I love both.
5:45
Well, that's not how it works. Mommy
5:48
can't love two guys and daddy can't love
5:50
two girls.
5:58
You only get one girlfriend and you get
6:01
one wife and that's it. So, I just
6:04
finished the headboards. The next part
6:06
is to add the railings and the side
6:10
pieces of the bed. So, we got four
6:14
headboards here for the two beds. And
6:16
now we're going to add the railing for
6:18
the top bunk. And then we're going to
6:20
add the side pieces. So, we're gonna go
6:22
in the kids' room to do this part
6:24
because I'm not going to be wanting to
6:26
carry an actual bed in there, I don't
6:28
think. Or maybe Yeah, that makes the
6:30
most sense. So, that's step four and
6:32
five. Um, so that's the next two steps.
6:36
And then after that is when we assemble
6:39
them on top of each other and at the
6:42
bottom rail. So, it's time to go in the
6:45
kids' room. Headboards are done here.
6:48
And I of course took a little breaky
6:50
break, took like a 15 minute break, but
6:52
it's 2:40, so I think I should be able
6:54
to by three o'clock at least be finished
6:56
with the pieces that needs to be done
6:57
before we stack them. Um, then I can
7:00
have my husband take over. That girl is
7:03
over there in the corner.
7:24
Yay! I done. It's not too too tall, but
7:29
it's still I don't know that ceiling fan
7:32
there, but it's going to be closer up
7:33
against the wall, so hopefully that'll
7:35
make a difference.
7:39
Heat. Heat.
8:36
Now that the beds are together, I found
8:38
these adorable little Mickey Mouse and
8:41
Minnie Mouse storage bin ottomans from
8:44
Walmart. $32 each. They're very sturdy.
8:47
It says they hold up to 150 lbs. I can
8:50
sit on it just fine and I weigh 115
8:53
pounds and they are pretty sturdy and
8:55
you can store things inside of them and
8:57
they're really really cute. Fits into
8:59
the theme and then they just have that
9:01
basic little toy bin over there which
9:03
has two sides to it. So on the left side
9:06
I have all of their Toy Story toys and
9:09
then on the right side all their Paw
9:10
Patrol toys and then inside of Noah's
9:13
Mickey Mouse bin he has some Mickey
9:15
Mouse toys. So, I love like Mickey Mouse
9:18
and Friends as well as the Toy Story and
9:20
Paw Patrol. All of those toys have both
9:22
boy and girl characters. They can play
9:24
with them together. Um, and so those are
9:28
the toys he also wanted to bring. My
9:30
husband had got this cute little bluey
9:32
seat here for baby girl. And so with
9:35
this seat, I thought, how do I tie it
9:37
into the theme? I knew I needed like
9:39
some sort of tiny like bookshelf or
9:42
something for some of their books inside
9:44
of it. So Na has some of her quiet toys
9:47
inside of this bin that she will play
9:48
with quietly sometimes. Her brother is
9:50
reading and her brother sits in this
9:52
seat too sometimes. So they have their
9:54
little reading nook over here with some
9:55
of their books and then a little bluey
9:58
reading lap next to the kids baby
10:00
monitor. So I added those little touches
10:03
there. And then inside the kids closet.
10:06
So they have their Mickey and Minnie
10:10
little clothing hampers there. I finally
10:12
got Noah some blue hampers. So, I need
10:14
to clean up the top of their closet. I
10:16
need to hang up um like the kids, like
10:19
the baby's diaper bag. And then they
10:21
have their bubble wands up here. So,
10:23
they have a Mickey one, a Buzz
10:24
Lightyear, they have a one for like um
10:28
Hollywood Studios. I have fans for them.
10:30
So, up here, I'm still trying to figure
10:32
out some sto I'm thinking up here, I'll
10:34
just get some storage bins. Just some
10:38
basic plain maybe white storage bins.
10:41
I'm thinking to match these storage bins
10:44
that are down here. And we'll put them
10:47
across the top there and store like
10:49
their bubble wands. We have travel
10:52
things up there, swim toys. Um the baby
10:55
has some of her like wraps, the breast
10:58
pump. Lots of little things up here that
11:00
I need to figure out some storage
11:02
solutions for. And then I haven't quite
11:04
figured out the perfect spot for these
11:05
yet, but basically I have a little bow
11:09
holder for baby girl for all of her bows
11:12
to go on. And then I also have this here
11:16
to hold all of her little ears. So she
11:19
has the
11:21
little ears here and they're kind of
11:24
just hanging on there. This is not a
11:25
good way for me to show it to you guys.
11:28
But yeah, I don't know where to put this
11:30
stuff at just yet. But I know I'm going
11:32
to move those ears. I wanted to kind of
11:34
hang them on a door, but I couldn't get
11:36
the little pin in there. Maybe I'll try
11:38
again. Maybe I wasn't using enough
11:40
strength cuz I know it'll go in. I just
11:42
have to get it in there. But yeah, so
11:44
it's coming together. I still need to
11:46
get a couple more things for this room,
11:49
but I don't want to go crazy cuz we're
11:51
trying to keep it nice and minimal. But
11:52
for now, I think I'm at least happy with
11:56
the initial like them having a nice and
11:58
cozy bedroom to start with. So, they got
12:01
their toy boxes, their storage ottomans
12:04
to sit on and store some things. Both
12:06
the kids bed. We had to send back the
12:08
bottom bed railing because it was too
12:11
wide. So, we wouldn't be able to fold it
12:12
down because it was kind of like behind
12:15
the ladder. So, we sent it back to get
12:18
one a little bit smaller. And hopefully
12:19
it'll fit like between the ladder and
12:21
the foot of the bed so that we can fold
12:23
it down and she doesn't fall or anything
12:24
like that when she does want to sleep
12:27
inside of there. So, we got that
12:29
together. And then they have the little
12:30
reading corner. It's really nice and
12:32
minimal inside of their bathroom. We
12:34
hung some Mickey Mouse towels and
12:36
everything. But this is where
12:39
what it's looking like so far. And I
12:42
think it's very basic, but also very
12:45
cute and cozy for a little vacation home
