Making Room For Baby (aka mommy is nesting already)

So recently I went through a phase where I wanted to change everything about our house. I quickly looked at our bank account and realized that new furniture, the new carpet, new bedroom set etc. was not going to fit into our planning for baby budget. So... I made due with making some more room in the living room (for all the toys and stuff that babies accumulate) and a little paint to fix up the one room that was never painted when we moved in.

It's not a major transformation but it was enough to satisfy my home remodeling craving (for now) hahaha the nursery is coming!!

First, we got rid of our tv stand that was covering up a perfectly beautiful window in our living room that we never opened because if Layla saw anything out that window she ran to it so fast not looking where her cute little paws were going and would step on the power cord therefore turning everything off. Now, the tv is on the wall and we opened up that whole corner! I see a baby swinging there in the near future :) Note: we are not completely done yet because I have two sconces that will soon be gracing the wall on either side of the tv to take away from the bla factor. Updated pics to come when that happens.



Next, the office, the only room that was still white in our house and it showed nasty marks from keeping 3 foster pups in that room and well it was just plain boring. So a gallon of paint and rehanging the pictures of the pups makes it feel brand new! I love a fix that costs under $30 :)



This is all for now but wait until the nursery comes, I CAN'T WAIT :) stay tuned!!

Oh yeah and did I mention before that we get to find out what this little one is in almost 24 hours!! Soooo excited :)
