Clearing out the nursery & a new guest room!

As I mentioned in my weekly update, Mr. E and I spent some time over the weekend relocating our existing office to our sunroom/family room. We did this so we could then turn our old office into our new guest room. And we did that because we're turning our old guest room into our baby girl's nursery! Exciting stuff!

You may remember that this is what our old guest room looked like:

This room has been a bit of a blank slate since we moved in 7 months ago. We painted it, threw in our furniture and called it good. In my mind, I was just waiting until the day it could become our nursery, So I never really committed to making it that great.

So, after we'd moved our office downstairs, we were left with this tiny, tiny room:

It's the smallest of all our bedroom, but to be fair, they're all pretty small. We live in an old, Cape Cod style house and the upstairs is really little. As you can see, my cat Gil likes that window.

We took a couple of hours and moved all of the furniture and some accessories into the room, and now it looks like this:

Still tiny, but totally functional for a guest's needs. I'm happy with how it turned out.

Now the focus can move to the nursery! Here's what it looks like in its current state:

So empty! There isn't even a light in there. As you can see in the last picture, we're missing a sconce that's supposed to be on the wall. I've been looking for a cute one.

It's amazing to think of all the baby things that will fill this room in a few short months. As of right now, everything baby-related that I own has been given to me and put in the room's only closet:

This weekend we'll pick out a new paint color - a pink paint color - and next week, when Mr. E is off on spring break, he'll be painting the room for me! I can't believe this is happening! It's really starting to feel real now.
