Nursery - Before and After

I'm delighted to say that we have (99%) completed the Nursery in just a few short weeks! There are still a few things to fix which are not 'perfect' and a couple of things to add (lamps, decor stuff) but I'm very pleased with the results!

Before - not alot to say about it really other than note the lovely 70's bright blue carpet, and tiny rubbish skirting boards and old nasty plug and light fittings. Structurally it was sound so what you'll see that we've done (aside from adding all the girly stufF) is repaint in 2 tones of pink, fit new skirting boards and paint those, and replace the carpet and all the electrical fixtures.

And now it looks like this.

The IKEA wardrobe with a touch of butterflies to liven it up. Also note the butterfly sheer panels on the window!

The cute 'dolls house' book-case (waiting to be filled) and the old rocking chair!

Cute artwork plus hanging fabric butterflies.

Girly bedding

Butterfly panels hanging like a canopy over the crib - this is one of the things that needs fixing as I'm not 100% happy with it, but you get the point...

I should also add that 5 mins after moving all the construction gear out of this room and photographing it in it's officially 'finished' state, G was on to the next project - ripping out the carpet and trim from the now-ex-library, ready to fix a large crack in the concrete floor before we start remodelling it. No rest for the wicked (and an 8 wk deadline until it has to be complete, lol).
