Getting Ready

Even though little Lenny will be in our room for the first wee while, I'm still in the progress of setting him up a room of his own. This has been a bit of a journey... We thought maybe we would be in our own home by now, but that doesn't look as likely. With 8 weeks to go, we wanted to get him a space set up so we have somewhere to put all of his things and feel a little more organised (nesting much?). I also really want a space, not just for him, but for us as a family to be together in sometimes. We share a house with family at the moment, so it's become important to me to just have this space there, ready and waiting for the three of us...our little family, where we can just chill together. The flip side is, if we do end up finding a place of our own in the next few weeks, we will still be coming back to the beach often to see friends and give Lenny lots of hang out time with his Nana Milly, so it's nice to have a spare room set up at the house.

Here's a picture which really shows you nothing... but a chair, in a concrete room, mid painting.

After I had finished painting I discovered the colour is very lilac. Sorry Lenny... I was going for soft grey but you know.... a hint of lilac is very soothing. They say it gives off feelings of safety and love and in my opinion that's never a bad thing.

This will do. I'm not about to do a repaint. Painting is hard work... Those home reno programs make it look too easy. Damn you reality TV.
