Last year I moved Cady and James into a shared room so that our third bedroom could be used as an office. The two of them rooming together has gone really well. When I decided they would share a bedroom it was important to me that they both felt like they still had their own personal space. I researched bedroom themes for a boy, girl shared bedroom, and while I found a lot of sibling bedroom ideas, I did not find very many that were for a boy, girl bedroom. Luckily, I was able to piece together girl room ideas with those I found for boys, and I came up with something that works really well for the both of them.

As you can see in the photo, I split the room in half by painting one side in a color that matched each of their decor. Cady’s side of the room is a deep, hot pink. I was resistant to painting anything a room this color, but she loved it, and it turned out much better than I had anticipated.

After researching girl room ideas and talking with Cady about what she wanted, I went with a black, pink, and white color theme with zebra accents. I know the zebra is trendy, but it is also something that can easily be changed when she decides she likes something different.

The sheets, accent pillows, and lamp are from Target. The wall hangings are from Hobby Lobby and were very inexpensive. Both quilts are from Pottery Barn, and I know I’m probably crazy to pick white for a kid’s room, but I couldn’t find anything else that worked that I liked (plus, you all know how I feel about Pottery Barn

James’ side of the room is the same color and has all of the same accents as his nursery. When I decorated his nursery, I chose a theme (little cowboys) that I knew would be able to grow up with him. Thankfully, he loves it.

His sheets are also from Target. I ordered the star and print online (sorry, don’t remember where), and the print was framed at Hobby Lobby. I love it because it is called “Never Give Up”, and that is displayed on the print. I made the quilt on the end of his bed. The bedside lamp was an old one I had around the house. I spray painted it red, and I made the shade from a kit I found at Hobby Lobby. The step was from Target.

There also three super cute prints of little cowboys hanging on the wall by the closet door that I found on Ebay. His “weapons” chest is at the foot of his bed, and Cady also has a toy chest at the end of her bed that holds stuffed animals and dolls.

My mom purchased both beds for the kids when they were old enough to move from the crib to a “big kid” bed. David and I purchased the dressers. We also have a TV in the room with a built in DVD player that is hooked up to a Roku. This is great for when friends are over or for when I can not listen to Sponge Bob one more minute.

I still have a few things I need/want to do like move the curtain from James’ old room into the shared bedroom, and I have two prints that need to be hung over the TV. They also have pillow shams that need pillows that will be put on their beds.

My daughters have shared a room most of the time…they had a farm theme when they were babies… I totally can’t lay off the western. Right now, they are just stacked in there…it’s sad.

I really like the idea of the two different colors for the walls and might steal this for my younger two!

You did a fabulous job on that. It’s looks great. And much better than when the Brady Bunch kids did it with running tape across the room.

I love how you split it up! My oldest three share a room, and for the longest time, my son had to live with purple walls (he moved in with the girls after they had been there awhile). When they visited their grandparents last summer, though, I painted it a more neutral bright yellow.

Thanks Gretchen. Cady’s room (this room) was yellow before I painted it. I love a nice yellow room. It is such a happy color.

Man, you learn something new every day. I didn’t know you were so crafty! I just had to pin this one.

Very cute! The twins share a room and their different tastes are really starting to come out, so I can see us doing something like this.

I really like how you split the room by color. It adds depth and gives the idea of two separate spaces really well. And yes, the t.v. in there is a great idea too. ;-P

I love what you did with the room. My two girls share a room and they are not nearly as agreeable as your two to sharing the space. I think a lot of it is the 6.5 year age difference.

I love the two different colors in the room. My youngest would love that, but it would probable make my precise and matchy matchy oldest crazy.

This is great! I think the hues of pink and blue compliment each other quite nicely and I love that you’ve taken into account all the details. Even down to the lamps on the appropriate side of the dresser. Nice job woman, very nice job!

A friend of mine did a yellow, green, and white room for her son and daughter. They have white furniture in the room and the boy’s side is tractors (John Deere) and the girl’s side is flower-ish. The colors worked well for both themes.

Oh man, This is perfect! I have 4 year old twins and my daughter LOVES zebra print. I tried to get her and her older brother to switch so the boys were together but neither wants to. So I have been searching for ideas for the twins room. I love the color and the little bit of zebra. I now know it can be done! Thank You!

Oh and they are still at a great age to share. You can keep them together for another five years at least.

So glad because I really thought I needed to start the separation process soon. YAY so glad I found a real room that I could use in their room. I am excited, They, with my help a little, picked a green and purple (their favorite colors). Can’t wait to paint it and see how it turns out.

The blue is an older Sherwin Williams color, Denim, but I don’t remember the name of the pink.Jennifer recently posted…Another Mother’s Shoes
