Boy's room -dressers

We got the boys new dressers today. We've been keeping an eye on Craftsman rolling tool chests for a good sale price, and finally today we looked and there they were, the bottom four drawer cart for $81.99 and the middle chest for $49.99, Yesss! We got two of each. The sale price was for the black and not the Craftsman red we had originally wanted, but for $30 less than the red, black it is!

 Boys are notoriously rough on their stuff, so we thought why not use a tool chest as a dresser, not only does it look cool (and it really, really does!) but its very sturdy, and comes with a warrantee. It also gives them more space than their previous dressers. Oh, and you can move them easily for cleaning, because they are on wheels!


They are also going through a kick where they love to get stuff they can use when they are adults. It started when we got a lifetime hunting and fishing license for M (the middle boy) for his birthday, They should be able to use these tool chests for tools when they grow up, a fact which they loved.

Their room is on the small size and with two dressers, plus their bunk bed there isn't much room for anything else. I'm moving the bookshelf to their brother's room across the hall for the time being.  Their toys have again accumulated in their room, and when replacing their dressers I'm going to purge clothes and the toys. The toys we are keeping will be rehomed downstairs to the toy room. They will get to keep their Legos, their cars, and maybe their monster trucks in their bedroom.

They absolutely love antique cars and hot rods, so with these as dressers especially, that will be my inspiration for their room.

They are already planning on giving their room a name. M came up with mini man cave, E came up with the secret hideout.
I'll be blogging the whole way.   I am also planning on doing some DIY artwork for their room and some photography.
