Once we found those bargains at Babies 'R Us and then Gary revealed the changing table treasure he had found, it was time to start arranging things-if only in my mind at least.
This blue recliner has been in the Huber family since Gary was a kid! It is still comfy and just needs to be recovered.
As we all find when we start cleaning one room, it affects the other rooms. So I began moving stuff and organizing things. This is our den closet now after several days of reorganizing (and recently picking up my cleaned wedding dress-what a delight it was to see it again...)
Here is the view from the nursery closet (still a bit scary)...where you can see the changing table and the recliner and in the middle there will be the crib and the dresser (also bargains from our day at Babies 'R Us)...
And some of my girly books, picture frames, photo albums and other stuff has a very nice cozy home in the den:
What a change from before!
I guess my iPhone didn't understand the overcastness of today so the yellow comes out a bit orangy in the pictures, but it is very refreshing in reality!
We're just waiting for that little piece of news before we continue with the next part of decorating....pink or blue?
What do you think? Everyone keeps saying boy, but Dad and Brandon say girl.
Anyway, it felt so good to finally do some of the nesting that I've been wanting to do! Plus it's all ready now for some company. We will have both sides of our families over for Father's Day and then Alex comes next week for a wedding here in Ave. He can see his "old room" a little more like the way it was when he used to live here before I moved tons of stuff in.
OH....wondering where all that stuff went?
The garage! And it looks FANTASTIC! That huge white armoire fits very nicely in the garage and also is covered storage. Thank you, honey, for moving it all and helping me to get organized. The garage looks so nice!!! (Okay so maybe you don't want to look in the armoire just yet.) We are slowly still organizing our lives into one life but it takes time. Once we got married we had lots of things separately and no time to really do these sorts of projects. We have really enjoyed organizing our home and preparing for baby.
And what about those birdies of ours? Louie and Kramer are very content in the den now, which used to be their original room. They grew to love the yellow room, but here they are back in the den:
They seem pretty happy!
As you can see there is still more to do, but we're on our way. More to come soon!!
