Project Baby Room - before

Alirght...now that the flooring is done it's time to get moving on Project Baby Room! I intended to post this post a million years ago...before the flooring project...but then life (and flooring) got in the way so here we are (our progress on the baby's room in those million years has been null). Like many other people, this project could easily be named Project-get-rid-of-all-of-our-junk.

The baby will be taking over the room that we used to use as our office. To be honest, the only time we used it as an office was when we were working from home (and not working at the dining table). Overall it provides extra storage for my clothes and shoes, some books, university textbooks (ha!) and an old computer (we both have laptops that we use day to day).

Here's a picture in all its beauty:

In a word: Messy.

This is not how it was day to day when we had it as an office, but more of a transition photo where we are getting ready to get rid of stuff.

The Mr. sold the desk and the chair via Craigslist in less than 24 hours. He has a real knack for posting things at the right price and the right time (sort of like when he sold our window A/C unit last year in the height of a heat wave...Sales 101).

Now we need to figure out what goes IN here. And there comes the fun, and the challenge. We will be leaving the wall colour as is, which is a greeny-gray colour, and we have some unique challenges along that back wall with the radiator, the window with no room for curtains on either side, and the angled closet. At least it's all on one wall so we can make full use of the other walls. And, as a reminder, we don't know whether this little human is a boy or a girl, so gender neutral territory is where we're heading.

We currently have a dresser/change table, crib, and glider (to be made over...) Do you have any "must haves" or key tips for the baby room (or babies in general...let's get serious I'll take all I can get!)

A little office "visualization"

Wasn't that another glorious weekend?!? I hope you all had a great weekend...I'll jump into a weekend recap, but it's going to have to wait until tomorrow, because today there is a DEADLINE!

BlogPodium is hosting a contest with EQ3, where you are to choose a few items from EQ3 and create a moodboard around them. I started looking through the website and thought my office REALLY needs some help. It's that room that we haven't done anything with...we painted it, and tried to put up a shelf (which promptly pulled a whole chunk of plaster from the wall)...and after that it went into perma-not-done-territory.

So, I focused my moodboard on a new office...wish me luck! If you like it you can go to Pinterest to vote. If you haven't entered, I think you have until midnight tonight!



Desk - Asterix Desk (EQ3)
