I always nest at the worst possible time. It seems to be between 22-28 weeks. Which actually does me no good because by the time I have the baby, it's disorganized again.
I tend to work on my nursery, and other household projects during this time. Right now, I have been organizing closets, planning bedrooms, and making a play area.
It seems like every time we add to our family, I have new spaces to create. Jex and Isaac will soon be sharing a room. Stella and Baby Girl will be together as well. That means Jex and Stella will be loosing their space since 2 babies will be napping at some point. So..... I created this lovely little room in our Reading Area.
I hated to give up this space but it seemed much more useful to the kids, and since they love to play where I am it makes it very convenient when I am on the computer, or in the kitchen.
I have re-purposed our bookshelf as toy storage. I am also in love with the Bins that I snatched up at Ikea. What do you think?
So now when you walk in to my living room you see this:
It is so funny because Jonathan and I actually like it better. Toys in our living area; WHO KNEW?
So.. I am enjoying mixing it up a bit. I love taking something I already have and switching it around. It adds a whole new life to an old space. Well really not that old; but it was a good change.
If you remember it used to look like this:
Happy Nesting!! and playing in your new space.
