I guess you could say the preparations began months ago as we began this process of cleaning and organizing in preparation for bringing a new, tiny human into our home. But as of yesterday, it feels so much more real. We picked out the paint and are just waiting for the old furniture to disappear to start painting what will soon be our nursery.
We also bought a much too big, but really cute fan. It is the fanciest fan I've ever owned. Tom and I both find it humorous that we spent more on that fan than every other fixture in the house combined. However, it fits. It has blades that appear as palm fronds and while it is too large for the space and probably hangs too low, we're going with it. It perfectly fits with our Hawaii/beach themed nursery idea.
I've been really impressed with how easily we're selling our furniture set. I was a bit concerned we may have priced it too high, but we've had lots of bites and only still have it because I made a foolish mistake of holding it for someone who never showed. But that isn't the worst thing ever. It looks like it will now go to a friend of ours, however, if not, I have another friend who wants it too! Soon the room will be ready to be decorated and filled.
I also spent a couple hours yesterday looking at cribs and changing table/dressers, and other fun baby stuff. We are getting some of it from a friend, but are pretty sure it is the wrong color. So, we'll see if we stick with it or end up buying something new that requires no paint :-p
I have no idea how this room is going to come together, but I'm really excited for it. We could still be months off from getting a baby and even the first we get may not end up being ours. However, I'm trying to stay optimistic and hopeful. Also, knowing me, having it all ready will make me feel more at ease. Fortune favors the prepared. And we're definitely hoping for some fortune in the form of a tiny human!
