Michael and I decided to start on our home preparations for our two new bundles! We are converting our downstairs office into a playroom for the kids, turning our current playroom into the guest room and turning our current guest room into the double nursery! Are you following?
We went into Lowe's yesterday while Rhylan was at his grandparents' and got off to a great start with planning! We started with paint for the playroom and guest bedroom. It was seriously the quickest and easiest paint choosing experience that I have ever had. I don't know what made it different for me, because I'm usually in the paint aisle for over an hour debating and staring at the same color in 500 shades! But this time, I knew what I wanted and we were able to make that happen! I can't wait until the playroom is complete! It's going to be colorful, fun and decorated to encourage imagination. Once we find out the genders, we will plan on painting the nursery according to the theme that we choose.
Next it was on to the carpet department! Because our funds are obviously tight and are only going to get tighter, we chose samples to take home with the goal of having new carpet in by the time our babies crawl. I think that's a pretty realistic goal for us! We don't want to do too much too soon as we still have to save plus purchase all of our necessities.
When we moved out of our first home, it was completely baby-proofed! Now we are starting to work on a much bigger home with a lot more baby obstacles! It's definitely going to be a big job! Little by little, we will get there! We are going to put in new outlets, cabinet and drawer locks, strap our tv's to the wall and secure the laundry shoot to start! Oh and don't forget a gate at the top of our basement stairs! So much to do and we will keep thinking of more I am sure!
We will share before and after pictures in the future! Can't wait to see it all come together!
