Moving Baby (14 Months) to Own Room

First of all, please dont scold me. I know it was not the best thing to do but but my baby sleeps with us. I have a 5 year old that does too but I already know how to handle that problem as she is excited for her new room and I can transition her more slowly and reason with her etc. I know it will be tough but that is NOT what my question is.
