Check that off the list

Moving was a breeze.  The crew was in and out in 2.5 hours and the 10x10 storage unit was exactly the right size.


We managed to empty out the entire guestroom as well as 35 plastic bins and assorted boxes, including half of the contents of our garage into this space.  I am pleased.  The new project has two stages.  First phase: organize the remaining items in the garage and create a space for large baby items that may stay in boxes for a while. 

Phase two is the fun part: begin planning the nursery.  Essentials such as the crib and dresser have been ordered but we're limited in terms of piecing it together until after the hardwood floors are installed, which of course backs up on the bathroom renovation.  I cannot wait to see this bathroom.  I'm way too excited for this facelift but I think that's because it's my first HGTV-worthy project and wouldn't it be nice if the Property Bros. showed up and offered to do our master, too?  ha!

The next stages are going to happen in quick succession so planning is key.  I feel like I have a handle on everything now that I can visualize room to breathe! Here's a sneak peek at PB's nursery, sans assembled furniture, as well as a paint test. 


No one could accuse us of being afraid of color, that's for sure!  It's called "orange slice" and it's just this side of Nickelodeon but I love it.  Supposedly orange increases appetite but with an infant, that's a plus.  The more milk, the merrier.
