On our last blog post, we showed off our baby girl’s nursery and the response was amazing. We are so grateful for each and every one of you who took the time to check out our work. We are still floored by the positive feedback we received from all of you! You made us feel so special! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Now, instead of giving you a full tour of our son’s bedroom, we would like to first ask for your help with making a fairly big decision. If you have been around for a while, you remember that we took a vote last year on whether or not to build a loft in our son’s bedroom. Originally, we thought for sure that every single person would vote “yes” but then the votes started coming in and you guys really surprised us. For a while, we thought the loft was quite possibly going to be voted down. In the end, you voted for happiness the loft and all was right in the world.
We are so excited to finally share pictures of our baby girl’s nursery! As my last post explained, she was born about a month early and we were SO not prepared for that to happen. Both Ronan and I tend to be overly optimistic about most things, which sounds sweet, but can lead to real trouble when situations like this arise. Although we didn’t have a finished nursery to come home to, what we did have was a general plan and a couple of Pinterest photos for inspiration.
We knew that we wanted to use this opportunity to flex our creative design muscles a little bit. We love, love, love neutrals and try not to lean too much into trends, but this nursery just seemed like a good place to break our own rules. We knew that it was a room that would probably change and evolve faster than the other rooms in our house, since the baby living in it would also be changing and growing quickly (too quickly!!). We also already had a lot of white nursery furniture from when our son was a baby and since we are cheap frugal green, we were sure we wanted to reuse that furniture. Instead of using our usual white paint and putting the white furniture in front of it, we thought this would be the perfect opportunity to try out a dark wall color.
Hi everyone! It has been a couple of weeks since our last blog post and we have been busier than ever working on multiple rooms. If you remember, we asked our readers last month to decide whether or not we should build a loft in our son’s bedroom. I was 99% sure that the pro-loft voters would prevail, but it was not at all the blowout vote that I expected it to be. People don’t believe me when I tell them that we have no control over which way the vote goes. We are really not tech-savvy enough to control the voting plugin that we use (if that is even possible) and just like all of you, we only get one vote per personal device. Sometimes, we are at home biting our nails and just hoping that the vote goes the way we want it to. Truthfully, it doesn’t always and that’s actually part of the fun! This time, we were very much Team Loft and were so excited to get started on the project.
I am sure you would like to see the progress that has been made in the room so far, so without further ado…
