We really whizzed through the nursery decorating this weekend, and Gareth was able to fit the carpet in amazingly quick time considering he's never done it before. A friend came over to help him cut the piece to size (we have a garage full of brand new carpet that we ripped up in favour of wood floor when we moved in, and kept to use in the rooms that need it downstairs) and they got it down there and laid out within a couple of hours. He then rented some kind of stretching thingie that carpeting people use and in a couple of hours this morning had it stretched out and attached to the gripper rods at the edges and it looks great! He's now got to fit the skirting (which is under way) and new switches and plug sockets and things and we'll be all set - really good swift work.
I then have to decide on bedding and such... which I'm losing the will to live with really, because I can't find anything that is exactly what I want and doesn't cost $400. I also need to find decor for the walls and fabrics and such like.... blah.
Oh and we need to buy Harry some new drawers and then repace the closet doors and shelf and rod in his room, so that we can steal his lovely wardrobe and drawers and take them down to the nursery.
