Room Shuffle
By Marisa | December 3, 2007
Nick is back to work on the apartment out back. That means that we’ll be able to re-do his room and shuffle people around a little. Maggie wants Nick’s room when he moves out. We’ll probably turn Maggie’s room into a spare bedroom for Jesse when he comes home to visit and leave Kendyll’s room as is in case I need to watch her while Nick works.
I’m thinking about getting a futon for the spare bedroom and I’m looking at platform beds for Boomer and Levi. The boys want their computers in their room but I think I’d rather move them to the basement, near their weight bench, so that they can make all the noise they want there and not bother their sleeping father.
I wonder, do other parents allow their kids to socialize in their bedrooms? I want the bedrooms to be places for clothes and dressing and sleep. My kids think their rooms are mini apartments where they sneak chips and pepsi and other snacks. Where in the world did they get this idea?
So, the question: if I rip out all the carpet upstairs, should I do hardwood floors, ceramic tile or more carpeting?
Ceramic tile is easiest for my stone mason husband but it’s also cold. Hardwood is great but the bedrooms are over top of my bedroom and we’ll probably hear every footstep. Carpeting will muffle the sound and be warmer but it’s so hard to keep clean with kids and dogs and it also harbors allergens that affect Levi.
So. Any ideas?

My opinion is that carpeting is the best to clean-up easily through vaccum, also looks good and attractive. Kids will also be aware to know about the neatness…
