I’m an artist that painted in my room as a child, so I totally understand your dilemma. How about dedicating a corner in her room with good lighting. Then get a outdoor rug and put a solid rug pad underneath. Then for the walls you can use bead board or other wall treatments sold at Lowe’s an install with 3M tape so it’s not permanent, but washable. Paint the “wall panels” with glossy paint so it washes off well.

As an hobby painter I use my kitchen table as my “studio”, I found some plastic runners to protect my floors and rug, you can also get mural paper for her walls, it can be replaced often and used as a painting surface. Meredith is so sweet, I am so happy for all of you, extra rooms are a blessing.

My daughter was the artist among our two children and she did a crayon drip piece against the white wall in our main bathroom. When she moved out (she's 27 now) we also found neon pink glitter glue in the carpet in her room. I never got upset about any of it because her creativity always brought me so much joy... Watching her brain work in full color as she grew. As much as I love every age with my children, I still really miss those innocent days of color and self expression❤

So happy for you! You are such a great example of patience, humility and living life without having to make things perfect. I wanted to cheer when you just threw those dresses up in that closet. This is my girl right here! When my oldest child went off to college 2 years ago I pulled her aside and said I have the most important life lesson I need to teach you. It is how to fold a fitted sheet properly. Once I had her FULL attention I proceed to quickly ball it up in a giant mess and throw it in the closet. She looked at me so strange and I said, "that's the lesson- life is too short to care about how your fitted sheet is folded". 😂

Kim watching you sorting toys on Meredith’s floor ought back so many memories for me. I had two boys 9 and 6 and then a girl! It was a wonderful time! My sons are now almost 56 and 53. My daughter passed five years ago. But I can remember sitting on the floor sorting, sorting. With the boys it was cowboys and Indians, excuse me, Cowboys and Native Americans, green soldiers, Revolutionary soldiers and British,and of course legos. We had a dark moss green deep rug and of course the soldiers would always wind up on the rug with their bayonets aiming up. My husband who never wore slippers had bandaids on his feet for years! Then when my daughter came along any little tiny thing was her favorite even Smurfs which I couldnt stand. I was back on the floor again! You were working like crazy and I was just sitting here smiling with my memories! Thank you!

You could try a plexiglass or clear plastic frame behind her desk on the wall, and on top of the desk itself--she could layer cute pictures behind it so it's decorative, but easy to clean and doesn't stain any surfaces. This is what we did for my daughter who is also an artist. 😅 And you can always remove it later. And as far as the floor, a good boho rug from the thrift store under the desk will work and if it's colorful no one will ever know! 🎉

The joy on your face! So happy you finally get to move in to your new spaces. Re the kids art work, open five folders on your computer, with their names and then in each folder, add separate folders for the years, either by age or date and add all the photo's of their artwork. That way, you'll have it all in the right spot for each child and you could print the whole years worth off in one go. You could also save them and just make one giant photo book for their 18th birthdays. If you save to a back up drive, it'll keep them safe. If you start from this point onwards, it won't seem so daunting and you can still gradually add the photo's that Alex took.

I had a portable file holder for each child,it was kept in their closet,every time a piece of artwork came home that they wanted to keep it went into a folder for that year, it had to be a very special item, I kept each child’s baby book in there as well, when they left home after college each child took the box with them . Each box was stuffed with 12 plus years of memories for them to now share with their children.

One of the bunks with a full bed on bottom and a twin up to would be fun. Then the girls could have sleepovers, cuddle and watch movies. Etc. that’s what we had in one of the bedrooms at our ski house, and it was so much fun. All 4 of us girls would literally crash in the same room watching movies. In fact we are all in our 30’s and 40’s now and we still occasionally have movie binges when we can get time together.

Happy you guys got to move in finally. Here’s a tip from one mother of a dress up fanatic to another. Also, my daughter has a tiny room. I recommend you move the dresser out of the closet to provide more hanging space. The dresses are big and bulky, and they will only get bigger as she does. Maybe buy some of those dresser stickers and let her help you decorate her dresser so that it’s more appealing to look at without having to paint it.

Also sell what you don’t want or aren’t using. Then you can put that towards the new beds, etc. this is a dream house, make it special for everyone. Even if you shop at thrift shops or antique shops you can get beautiful things. I have a “Princess” theme room as my sisters tease. I prefer more Jane Austen inspired. I have my desk for work, paying bills, grad school stuff…. Then my grandmothers antique vanity and stool that I took floral curtains and Velcro and made the skirt around the bench. It came out gorgeous!!! Then I just went with my old Full size bed. And a beautiful tv stand with more storage and a dresser. I’m one of those girls who still likes a dresser drawer for undies, bras, pajamas and workout wear. It’s just this thing I have. Plus I have a ton of clothing and need all the closet space. So start with a theme. Now I don’t mean pawpatrols. Think broader, like “Art Studio” or “Jane Austen” or …. I don’t know what theme for boys? Space? 😂 dinosaurs, monsters, sports and like Varsity letters and pennants and trophies would be cute. But that can help a lot when decorating. Feel free to reach out if you need any ideas. I love decorating by theme and I’m the queen of finding great deals.

I have an art kid. You could stick the cling wrap on desk and walls and pull it and change it easily. And a drop cloth is a must for an artistic kid. I had to make a hard rule that paint doesn’t leave the drop cloth after carpet was painted on. As a side note the clear little shelves are great for art kids to display and change out their art.

Re: painting…go get a big square of sheet vinyl flooring to put on the floor under the easel she’s using. The walls can be protected with something as simple as hanging a curtain, even a shower curtain. Remove acrylic paint with ammonia, rubbing alcohol, or acetone. Don’t use rubbing alcohol on the walls, though, it’ll take off latex paint too.
