Since Jordan and Brandt share a room and Jordan is 15 it was time to bring their room into the teens too. Jordan had out grown his twin bed (he's 6'2) and needed a queen bed. So the boys got a loft bed that a queen could fit under and Jordan got a new platform bed. But the platform bed is longer so then the old bookcase no longer fit in it's spot. Since their old bunk bed had a dresser in it we had to get them a new dresser. And a new dresser means the old armoire had to go because it's space was being used. But then where to put all the video games and books? So now they have a wall unit that fits on two walls and holds all the books and video systems. But then their old TV no longer fit so they had to get a new TV for the wall unit (Merry Christmas). And everyone needs a place to sit, so they got two new leather rocker chairs. Which means that the acoustic drums are now in the game room and the electronic drums got moved by the door. Jordan got a new drum throne (seat) for Christmas ~ you can see it in the picture, a little.
Nicole got the boys old TV and Emma's old bed which used to be Nicole's old bed in the first place. So basically Nicole got nothing for her room but then she is supposedly going to move out someday so why get her stuff for this room? If she stays long enough she can have Chelsea's room too...
For some crazy reason James and I decided that we should redo 
all the kids rooms a week before Christmas. Not the best timing on our part. James spent 3 straight days putting furniture together. Our house was covered in huge boxes, old furniture, new furniture and trash as we had to deep clean everything in the process. We were trying to get it done before the maids got there but didn't quite make it. They were cleaning the downstairs while we were trying to finish the boys room upstairs. It actually worked out pretty good though as one of our maids was happy to take all our old furniture. We loaded all we could in the back of her truck and she and her husband came back 
later that night for the rest.
So now Emma has a new loft bed, a sofa, a coffee table and two nice bookcases in her room. She is well pleased.
We didn't get rid of anything in Chelsea's room but an old bookcase. We rearranged her room and added a new leather chair with ottoman, 3 book shelves and a floor light. She really likes it too. Looks very grown-up. Jordan is already claiming it when Chelsea goes to college.
