Love, bubs and life on our little farm

Poor old Bronte has just turned 4 months old and I have finally started to put together her room. Elka's room was completed by the time I was 26 weeks pregnant - things are different with the second child! However, the room is now painted and has furniture in it, albeit with a double bed still in there as it is still our spare room for a few more months whilst the extension is completed. It also doesn't have a cot in it yet as Bronte is waking at least twice a night and I am too lazy to move her cot out of our room whilst I am still having such disturbed nights.

But anyway - her room is started! I chose a pale pink, black and white theme for her room and I also picked owls as her little "animal". I love the paint colour - it is Dulux in Tea Party quarter strength, a very soft pink. The change table, bookshelf and chest of drawers (and cot) are all in white. I risked a black rug, which I was worried would be a little harsh for a babies room but it works. Mum sewed me black and white japanese cherry blossom curtains which are lined with heavy block out which are great for making the room cosy for sleeping. I have kept the current light fitting which is a lovely antique style hanging glass shade in white glass. A few weeks ago I lucked upon a great toy box in black with black and white fabric lining which I just love! The storage drawers under the change table are all in black and white pattern and I have sewn a black and white owl mobile to hang above the change table. I also have two black frames containing pink japanese style flower prints which I will hang once the double bed is moved out.

Overall I am pleased with the progress and am looking forward to making it more and more finished over the next few months :)
