Currently the oldest boy is 12, the youngest boy is 5. They will be in one room. The oldest girls are 11 & 10, they will share a room. The youngest girls are 6 1/2 & 8 1/2, they will be in the new room.
Wow, sorry these are so large!

In the remodel, the boys will move to the other old room (where curretnly all 4 girls sleep), then part of the wall between the boys old room, and the family room will be torn out so there is an access door between the 2 rooms, and these 2 rooms will be the girl's rooms. Each with their own hall door, but also with the door connecting (or denying little sisters access) to each others' rooms.

In the sketch, yellow are doors now, red is future doors and wall. The peach are closets.
The new room will get a closet too, but I am not sure exactly how room will be built.

My avatar is a quilt waiting to happen - it was a photo on a Christmas card a couple years ago. You can see it better looking at my blog - the pic is big there.

I'll see if I can look closer at your avatar.
I opened your blog address but could not see any pictures.
