The Nursery

My brother who had been living with us has moved out into his own place, so we decided to paint the room while it was empty and started to put all of the baby stuff we have already accumulated in there. My dad came down to paint for us which was very nice as I am not allowed to paint (or stand on a chair or do ANYTHING just about seems like) and Rob was really busy with end of term Uni stuff, so thanks Dad :)
We decided to go with green, apparently the most relaxing colour and I like green. Ironically the colour is just about exactly the same colour green I had in my nursery when I was a baby in the 70's. One exception, there will be no 70's animal wall paper in this room...ever. I am trying to steer fairly clear of baby animals in general, no teddy fabric, baby animal clothing, etc etc. Just not my thing. I have bought some material to make the valance and stuff for the cot, apparently everything you buy has some animals on it in this country. And I found some cot sheets that are a miniature of our sheets (white cotton/sateen stripe). Hooray! Now I just have to find time to sew the material.
Rob and Dad have put together the furniture we have for the nursery and it looks good so far. We only have a few bits a pieces to get until we are set to go.
Very happy with the semi-finished nursery so far. Will continue to look out for bits and pieces as we still have a fair bit of time to go.
