Spent a bunch more money on the necessary paint and equipment required in order to sponge fluffy white clouds onto the walls in the nursery today. Unfortunately, I seem incapable of anything so intricate, and despite following the instructions to the letter I ended up sponging weird looking white globs onto the walls. Thankfully I was able to wipe it all off with a wet cloth, so no harm done (except to the bank account).
Next step was to shampoo the carpet in there (and the rest of the upstairs carpets). Then clean all the solid encrusted 5 yr old blobs of sick from the bars of the crib.. fun. Must remember to do that sooner next time :-) G is now putting it back together, and I also polished up the woodwork on the rocking chair, and then we're practically done except for taking delivery of the wardrobe and drawers, buying some nice prints and pictures for the walls, and dressing up a single bed to look like a couch. Oh, and buying some shelving on which to put some baskets and stuff.
Although I say so myself, it's looking very swish and nice in there. It's a lovely sunny room which gets the sun all afternoon, and the colour scheme has worked a treat, particularly when combined with all the blue & white gingham bedding and stuff I have bought.
