Peekaboo with baby,some nursery ideas & Christmas decorations.

I had my 20 week scan today (a week or so late) and got to see my baby boy :) He is showing a stubborn streak already and wouldn't co-operate with moving into the correct positions so I am back on Tuesday for a couple more pics. Everything looks perfect and healthy so far which is fabulous and I don't really mind going back as I'm hoping to see his face :)

I've also started thinking of some nursery ideas. I'm thinking neutral. Maybe white and grey with a splash of red.

Other nursery ideas include

*grey and white stripes on one wall

*baby's name on the wall in red

*the alphabet on the wall in wooden letters in different fonts. Red I think.

*All the furniture will be white. I'm only really having the cot, drawers that will double as a change table and some kind of shelving unit for toys,books etc.

 I already bought this sign from Alfresco Emporium so it has to fit in somewhere!

I couldn't find any pics I liked of nurserys on the net so might have to create my own little mood board :)

I'm just thinking of ideas at the moment and won't really start on the baby's room until next year after the Christmas and NY season has been done.

Speaking of which, I think I am going to set up our Christmas tree and decorations this weekend. It is EARLY I know, but I'm really feeling the Christmas spirit and the boys are so excited about it!I finally settled on the important( ;P ) decision of my "Christmas Colours" and I decided on green,white and silver. So suffice to say my yellow cushions now won't work and I had to pull out my green cushions etc, which included purchasing a new cushion for my armchair. I chose this Palm Tree one. Very summery!

My garlands that I ordered online arrived and I am happy to say that they are exactly as I wanted! So I should have some pics to share on Monday with you all.

Have a fabulous weekend!

The flat pack king!

The inspiration.

So I wrote a while ago about some plans that I had for the house. Including wall to wall bookcases in two of the rooms. 

We had a couple of quotes for custom made pieces and almost fainted! I just couldn't justify the cost!

I knew I still wanted them but I had to find the less expensive option. So off to Ikea I went :)

My handyman is very good, the job should be finished tonight and then I get to do the fun bit and style it up!

The room will be rearranged, the brown cabinet will be moved to another room. 

Pictures next week :)

How are you with the flat packed stuff or are you happy to leave it to the "handy man"?

Speaking of flat packs etc, how good is The Block this year?! 

I'm really enjoying it so far. Are you watching?

My love is home today xx

Simon has returned from home from his week of surfing in Bali. 

He arrived home this morning as the boys and I were having breakfast. We were all so happy to see him and he was covered in kisses and hugs as soon as he walked through the door.

 We are dropping the boys off at school/kindy and I am really looking forward to having the day together.

 We've got heaps to catch up on and I can't wait to show him my really loooooong list of jobs that are awaiting him ;) 

Have a fabulous day

Simone xx
