"Adios" Guest Room...

.... Welcome, "Kenleys" new baby play room! lol..... So after trying to get a tackle of organizing everything we recieved from the baby shower- we wanted to get a head start on putting everything together. At one point there was a high-chair,swing,jumper,bouncer,wagon,stroller,space saver high chair, and a walker!! in our living room at all once! ( hard to imagine!) but after a day and a half of trying to manuever around here- tripping over everything- we decided to convert the guest room into a room for her stuff. We would like to eventually have her "play room"in the basement- which will allow more room for her stuff however, we think its best for the first year or two to keep it upstairs-

Here is a "Before" pic of the guest room....



Soooo I have not yet decided what color to paint the room yet- however I will say when we painted the orange room with cholate brown border on the ceiling- It was supposed to be a more sophisticated grown up room- and for the past 2 years here- it has done just that. However, its not very "fun" or inspiring.... so Im going to change it however- I do want to leave the chocolate brown border around the top of the ceiling and maybe do the room an aqua or pink color and add some fun polka dots.

So stay tuned for an update on the "play room"

As for "Kenleys" room I still have to make my way over to "buy buy"baby sometime this week to see if I can agree on a changing table pad cover. ( I bought an orange one from there- but when I brought it home it just did'nt look as I expected it to). So Im going to attempt a chocolate brown one and see how that fits on there. I also am still in seach of a mirror or set of mirriors or SOMETHING that can go above the changing table/dresser combo.

68 days or less....

Yep thats right!! The countdown is down to days!! Finally!! haha

Its been a while since I have blogged- have not been feeling soo well these days! However on a brighter note- we just had our baby shower weekend- this past week and "Kenleys" stuff has officially taken over the house! lol I mean- I knew babies took up room but this spoiled munchkin has got full rein of the house! haha- We finished putting together all of her stuff ( well except for opening the box with the "pack and play" I don't want to deal with operating that thing for another week or so! hehe.

We are in the process of breaking down the guest room and turning it into a baby play-room for all her stuff- when she is older we will re-do her playroom and move it to the basement where there is more space. In our living room right now is the stroller, activity mat, swing, jumper, walker and wagon! lol Its finally starting to feel real to walk into our house and see all of these baby items but we are sooo very excited!!

The room has a few minor touches- Im in the process of looking for an area rug- a changing table cover and something to go on the wall above the changing table.... also maybe a few extra small sold colored throw pillows for decor for the crib. Here is what "Kenleys" room looks like so far..... ( click on each pic to enlarge)
