nursery tour

As promised, I am posting pics of the finished nursery... finally! What once was our home office, has now been changed into Bun's new room. Instead of going the traditional pastel baby route, we decided to go with a gender-neutral cream and red (persimmon to be exact) combo. Also, the owl theme just sort of happened accidentally... can never have too much owl-y goodness. Oh yes, and of course the room became a perfect place to display some of our Barbapapa collection and Peanuts/Snoopy stuff too. So what happened to our home office? Well... I will post some pics of the new office space we have redone as well.... so those pics are coming soon! Now it's time for the waiting game.... Bun is due June 5th!

welcome to the crib

Ok... so I have finally got around to taking a picture of the finished crib! After quite an ordeal with the missing instructions and zillion of pieces, here is the "after" picture of all our assembly turmoil. Hooray! What looks to be the most basic piece of furniture was far from... and then add to that our constant checking to make sure everything was assembled correctly (hmmm.. can you tell this is our first baby?), and it just made for a long assembly nightmare. So now onto the fun part... finding baby bedding! I will take pics of the entire nursery and post soon!

some assembly required

Roger and I are usually pretty good at assembling furniture... but I think we have met our match. We have started to assemble Bun's crib, and it is taking a wee bit longer than anticipated. After a false start (since the instructions were missing and we had to get them from the manufacturer), things are slowly progressing. I couldn't even fit all the pieces into these pictures, there are so many - these are just 1/5 of them shown here. Hopefully in the next few days, I will have a pic of a completed crib to share with you!
