apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I don't really have any decorating advice, but my son slept in our bedroom until he was 9 months old. His crib was set up like the one pictured, in front of our large bedroom window. We moved him to his own room when he began sleeping through the night, and I realized that my own bedtime routine was beginning to wake him.

He still comes into our bed in the early morning, and his changing station and clothing are in our master bath. I cleared out a drawer and a shelf in our linen closet for his things, and we still use them today. We also bathe him in our tub.

We are expecting our second child next summer, and he or she will also be in our room. I'll need to make some extra space for more baby clothes and diapers, too. I love sharing a room with a baby, and it makes perfect sense if you are nursing.

We have been sharing our room with our children since the oldest was born, 4 years ago. First, the baby slept in our bed, and when he grew up, around 18months, we bougt a crib.
We put the mattress level of the crib at the same level of our mattress, and we took out one of the sides. It was like we had an extension of our bed. He has been sleeping there until last week, that he decided to "move" to his room. Our little, 2 years already, has been sleeping between us all this time, and now, that his brother has "emptied" the crib, is occuping the "vacancy".
We did not want to "move" the oldest during the end of the pregnancy, it didn't look good for him, and, at the end it took longer, but we try to respect everyone's growing.
