Project Nursery

The nursery was painted last weekend - something I've been looking forward to for a while.

At this stage, we haven't decided what we're doing with the floor, shelves and curtains and the radiator still needs to be installed...but we have moved all the furniture in.  With baby currently 6 days overdue, I was eager to have it set up in time for nappy changes, feeding, etc

I actually really like the floor in its current state but our house gets very drafty come winter time.  If the temperature starts leaning towards the arctic side, we'll lay down a big rug or carpet.

So baby, I just wanted to say thanks for holding out.  We're ready whenever you are now...
 

Moving to the Master Bedroom

So, we have finally moved into the master bedroom which means we can, at long last, start prepping the nursery for baby.  Well, not straight away...it's being plastered next week (three days before baby is due) but I'm totally fine with it, no point stressing.

The master bedroom has been painted in Pale Powder and Wimbourne White by Farrow and Ball and it feels really tranquil and relaxed.

On a more un-relaxed note, we still need to sort wardrobes, flooring, light fixture, curtain (we are currently using a temporary black-out blind), radiator, new bed.....so it's far from finished but, it's livable and I already love it.

Delayed Decorating

I’d say that I’m a pretty organised person but when it’s come to getting the house done up in time for baby’s arrival, things are way behind.

In all fairness, we thought we were on track.  This was the plan….

• Decorate master bedroom
• Dan and I move out of current bedroom (the nursery-to-be) and into master bedroom
• Decorate nursery 

It sounded like a relatively straightforward process so we didn’t begin stripping the walls in the master bedroom until June, feeling totally confident we would have everything wrapped before Sep.

How we wish we kicked off this process a little earlier…
