I'm feeling very accomplished today! DF and I spent the weekend switching rooms with his seven-year-old daughter, who lives with us M-F.
We figured she'd now need the bigger room because - once LO's out of the bassinet - they'll be sharing. We don't know if LO is a boy or a girl yet, but a girl would certainly make decorating easier.
What we decided to do is divide the room with a gender-neutral rug. If LO happens to be a boy, we'll use the black and white color palate with boy accent colors and boy art on the walls over the crib.
Here's where we are so far...

LO's crib and changing table will go where the dog crate is now, and we'll move SD7's desk and lamp to the other side of the room...

Depending on how big the baby furniture is, we'll probably push all of SD7's stuff over. For the time being, we didn't want her to feel like she was just living on one side of the room.
Anyone else putting LO in a shared room? How are you doing it?
