{4kids.1room} part 3: Ty

are you following along on the room switch? - or are you totally lost? (oh, you are? good news! i have included a video tour of the new room at the end of this post just for YOU! how nice, and as a bonus you get to hear my choice kiwi accent.)

today you get to see where Ty sleeps. he's our Bear Grylls fan who loves the outdoors and deer.
so, imagine you're standing at Jada's bed, then you spin around. this is what you'll see - Ty's bed. 
...or, 'Ty's Bivy'. 
yep, JR did this one day while Ty was away.
the kid all but passed out when he came home.
(can you imagine?!)
(looking back to Jada's bed)

and if you want a filmed tour:
disclaimer:  this was taken when i was still pregnant and before JR decided to win all the Father-of-the-Year awards, which explains a) the very heavy breathing (i'd just hauled myself  walked upstairs), and b) why Ty's Bivy is missing (this is what it originally looked like).
i should also say, this is about as close to a vlog as i'll get.../wink.


Details:
Antlers - gifted from neighbours/friends.
Large letters - JR made them when Ty was a baby
bedside table - made by JR
Deer cushion - handmade by me
camo strips - handmade by me
wooden toy rifle - handmade by JR
deer embroidery - birthday present from Jada
wooden bowls and deer pictures - thrifted

  18. that completely takes my breath away! Its such a personal little nook, without being dark or closed off. I'm and only child, and never had to share a bed room growing up. but with such a nice little corner, I would have gladly shared.

    You guys did a great job!
