Nesting? What? Me...?

Okay, maybe a little. Alright, I can hear Collin protesting so I will admit it. There was some hardcore nesting action this weekend. 

I swore up and down that I wasn't going to make any humongous changes to the house for our upcoming little one. Not because I am mean and heartless, but because we plan on buying a house next Spring so it seems a waste of energy to go all crazy rearranging furniture and decorating a nursery just to pack it all up a couple months later.

 

The baby's room is where our office was in the second bedroom. Note the use of past tense in referring to the placement of our office. We have more than enough floor space so we made some pretty drastic changes. The way our living room is set up you'd expect it to be a living/dining room combo. There is a pendant light that hangs down in the oddest place, it just makes sense that they meant for it to be an informal eating area or something. That said, we moved our dining room table and chairs into position there. The ginormous book shelf that had previously resided in the corner near our new dining set up was moved into the dining room. We then brought down both our desks and placed them in opposing corners of said dining room turned office.

 

This thereby frees up the second bedroom for the baby and only the baby. I felt kind of douchey making the baby share space with our office stuff. Plus it gives us more freedom with the placement of the crib... It bothered me where we were more or less forced to place it with our desks and such in the room.

 

Let's see if this makes sense now:

 

The huge-o living room is now the living room/dining room. Which for clarity's sake I will let you know the actual "dining room" was carpeted too, so I am not bothered by the fact our dining area is in the carpeted living room.

 

The dining room is now our office area. It contains all of my non-cooking related books, our two desks and our respective machines. 

 

The second bedroom that was our office is now strictly a bedroom for the baby. For the time being it only has a crib and a storage shelf/changing table. I hope to add a rocking chair at some point but it's not a priority. I have no doubt as the event closes in on us that the room will begin to fill up with various tiny human related items.

 

And now I would like to thank my super hero husband for indulging me and making this living space transformation possible. Lord knows that there is no way in hell I would have been able to move any of the furniture. 

He also deserves super awesome kudos for making me a super nommy omelette for breakfast yesterday.

 

Now to go through ALL the pictures I took at Street of Dreams this weekend. Next post will be some of my favorites from the homes. :-)
