Should we chalk this up to nesting? I think so. Let's see, I painted our living room and most of our master bedroom (minus a wall I couldn't get to because, well, I'm pregnant and can't really move furniture unless it involves scooting it across the wood floor). I completely gutted and re-organized all three hall closets and the master bath. I cleaned out some kitchen drawers/cabinets. I even started working on the nursery. I'm tired just rehashing it. But man, it looks GOOD. And it feels even better than it looks! I like organization a little. Okay, a lot. One might call me OCD. Up until Ben started walking, our house was nice and clean. Always. Now? Not so much. Who has time to keep a spotless house with a toddler running under foot and demanding most of my attention?
But then that old pregnancy friend, nesting, stopped by for a visit. And the stars aligned when a weekend alone presented itself (not that I intentionally chose to be away from my family, but thanks to our dogs, that's the way it worked out).
Let's take a look-see, shall we?
The ugmo before color...that I somehow picked out.
Pretty, pretty blue. Much prettier than this picture even does justice. It's darker and deeper and richer and oooh, so awesome!
Master bedroom before color.
And after. Sooo much cozier and homier.
I so wish the before picture hadn't vanished off my camera. This closet was pure, unorganized INSANITY!
This is my happy place.
Aha, finally, a before!
Much, much better.
Before. Yikesey!
Again, happy place.
Um, I am so embarrassed that I let my junk drawer get this bad.
Even Ben's playroom got a nice organizational overhaul last week!
And this is the next project. The current office/guest room/junk magnet/MY WORST NIGHTMARE that will soon be Ben and baby girl's room.
Thought for the day: Organization supplies are a pregnancy expense no one warns you about.
I'd say nesting has definitely hit hard. Looks great! Although, I liked the before color in the living room...but this blue is GREAT and calming.
ReplyDeleteWay to go! Everything looks great! Are Ben & baby girl going to be sharing a bedroom?
ReplyDeleteLooks SO good! Love the blue color!
ReplyDeleteI remember thinking I CAN'T have this baby until the bathroom closet is cleaned out. Like, it will be a disaster if we bring this baby home and that closet isn't clean!
LOL! Ahhh pregnancy...
Haha...yep, the nesting is crazy!
ReplyDeleteShelly - Yep, they'll be sharing. At least for the time being. I went 'round and 'round because we have four bedrooms, but we would have to give up the playroom or guest bedroom, neither of which we really want to do, so we'll see how it goes. Baby girl will be with us the first few months anyway. :)
