Well, it's official....my uncomfy office shoes are already in the trash, I spent most of today wearing moccasins, this morning I finally got around to eating breakfast sometime after noon and tonight I found the time and energy to bake a dessert. So, what does it all mean....?
No more work for me - yay!
No more work for me - yay!
Now my head's just a-swirling with all the fun and creative projects I can finally get stuck into before bub arrives, starting, of course, with the nursery.
I struggled for ages with the type of feel I wanted in the baby's room.
I was sooo tempted to opt for a contemporary pop of gender-neutral colour....
Or to go for something dark and dramatic....
Though I think I've finally decided to stick with my favourite scheme - a fresh blend of earthy neutrals with loads of natural texture and some vintage elements.
So, that means whites, creams and rustic greys. Character-rich timbers, raw linens, jute and perhaps a few metallic hints.
Here's a little mood board I came up with:
If you read this post you may remember the challenge I'm facing in terms of size and shape. The nursery is only around 2.5 meters square (8x8 feet approx.) and has a weird angle which cuts into the space so I've decided on just three main pieces of furniture; a cot (crib), a dresser/change table and some kind of nursing chair.
Although it's gonna be tight I figure there are a few layout options I can probably get away with:
Though I would like quite a balanced layout due to the irregular shape of the room and necessary proportions of the furnishings it looks like a more asymmetrical finish will probably be the go though of course the final layout will depend on what items I actually find during my frugal searches and how best they physically work together in the space.
I can't wait to get started!
Oh, and now that I've finally finished up at work I have a new email address:

I'm still working on getting links updated where I can so just wanted to let you all know in case you had my previous details saved somewhere.
